rrived onsite for service call: blower fan seems loud. Homeowner mentioned it’s been a long time since a maintenance. Found the system running without a filter. Homeowner provided a filter 20x24x1. Installed filter but it was difficult due to gas piping placement. Recommend repiping. Opened up furnace cabinet. Found a good amount of dust in the burner cabinet. Found thick, caked-on dust and dirt on the blower wheel. Concerned that blower motor may not last that long. Also concerned about the draft inducer motor. Recommend Platinum Repair to rejuvenate the furnace’s air movement system which chemically clean the blower wheel, clean cabinet, and modify the gas piping to allow easier access to the filter. Homeowner is considering upgrading the furnace instead of repairing it so she can take advantage of the 10 year parts and labor warranty.
