SECTION II: INSTRUCTIONS FOR

EXAMINING THE FURNACE 

INSTALLATION

It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that an annual inspection of the
entire heating portion of the unit is made by a qualified service agency.
Examine the furnace as outlined below in steps “1 - 8” before each
heating season. Use Figure 1 for visual reference.

1. Examine the heat exchanger, vent pipe, combustion air passages,

vent connectors and chimney to be sure they are clear and free of
obstructions.

2. Examine the vent pipe making sure it is firmly in place, that it slopes

slightly upward and is physically sound without holes and all of the
connections are secure.

3. Examine return connections

For Modular Homes:

a. If the furnace has a return air duct, examine the return air duct

connections to make sure they are physically sound, sealed to
the furnace casing, and the ducts terminate outside the space
containing the furnace.

b. If the furnace does not have a return air duct, examine the

return air filter rack connections to make sure they are physi-
cally sound, sealed to the furnace casing.

For Manufactured (Mobile) Homes:

a. Examine the return air filter rack connections to make sure they

are physically sound, sealed to the furnace casing.

4. Examine the furnace casing making sure the physical support is

sound without sagging, cracks or gaps. Examine the furnace base
making sure it is physically sound without cracks, gaps or sagging
and has a good seal.

5. Examine the furnace casing for obvious signs of deterioration.

6. Examine the burner flames to make sure they are in good adjust-

ment. Refer to the pictorial sketch shown in Figure 2 as a compari-
son to the actual flame.

7. Examine and replace external air filters as needed to make sure

they are not blocked, and proper airflow is provided to the furnace.

8. Examine any installed accessories or system components such as

evaporator coils to insure proper operation, drainage of condensate,
and that there is no water leakage or damage to the furnace or any
components.
