Dangerous Trend

[Patrick J. Cloninger]

This is something I've been seeing too often on new homes. HVAC installers are putting the operating manual/warranty inside the burner cabinet.

Have any of you all noticed this in your areas?

This was from a couple of days ago on a new home.

Yep Patrick, I set them off to the side.

I could only imagine what would happen to an attic furnace...manual catches on fire, then the internal wiring, etc...

I've been doing the same, either set them aside or take them out completely.

Sean found one not vented ( new Home) flue ended in the insulation. I am wondering if anyone checks these things.

[Patrick J. Cloninger]

Ofcourse they do! The building inspectors check for everything .

yeah right. I just found a new bedroom window that was 2 square feet. I scratched my head and the builder said ''what''.

Patrick,
I have seen this one several occasions. I usually carry a box of large zip lock bags in my truck, just for personal things, so when I see this I take them out place them in a zip lock bag and tape them to the units enclosure. Not really in my SOP, but it does make the buyer happy that I took the time to do it.
