The heating system was installed using the theory of natural selection. Sleep tight.

Room should be quite comfortable during the winter months. I would recommend to the realtor that this feature be included in the listing information.

Since nobody here will come right out with it then it is up to me to mention the actual issue .
Some idiot Inspector left a sensitive electronic instrument on a hot furnace.

It appears that the furnace was installed wrong. Recommend the furnace to be lifted, placed horizontally and installed on solid cement blocks. This will allow the vent pipe to have the proper pitch of 1/4 per foot rise up to the breech in the chimney. LOL
