EXCESSIVE RUST ON OR AROUND BURNER
The inspector visually observed that heavy rust particles exists and cover the burners, and the area under the burners. Normally this is a sign of additional damage by rusting around or inside the draft diverter. However, other problems may exist. (i.e. Excessively rusted heat exchangers will deposit considerable rust atop and around burners of the heater). The presence of excessive rust particles may cause interference with the flame resulting in further problems. This defect/safety concern could be a simple fix or a costly repair or replacement of the heating system. The proper evaluation would require invasive evaluation vs. our visually observed evaluation. The inspector strongly recommends that a Heating Contractor be contacted for assistance and further evaluation/advice prior to close or escrow. |

I would also recommend not using the heat mode due to a possible crack in the heat exchanger until proper repairs, technical evaluation or replacement is completed.
