I had a furnace fail once and called a HVAC company. They charged me $250 to come out and diagnose that it was the flame sensor and clean it. It's a good idea to know what to do and it's a good idea to clean it every year.
-
Great video Scott. I followed your instructions and brought back to life my old furnace. much appreciated
-
It is amazing how much dust collects inside of a unit. “A Good old fashion cleaning” was a great way to explain that part of the video. Great video Scott and Dave!
-
Yes sir, you are spot on! Regular preventive and servicing of literally every piece of equipment in a standard home requires due diligence.
-
Great tips on the flame sensor! I have a wood working shop by the furnace and have to clean it regularly!
-
This is by far the most CLEAR and concise instructional video I have found, and also explains everything in detail. I hope there are two others just like this one that go into more detail about cleaning the blower wheel and evaporator coils! Thanks!
-
Right at 3:30, the words Sensor and Ignitor are actually printed on the panel. That helps as well. 😊
-
Solid video. My furnace was acting up earlier this year. I know a guy who has been in the HVAC business for years. These were some of the steps he talked me through over video chat.
-
Thanks for this video. Easily just saved me a couple hundred dollars by showing the issue with the flame sensor. Instant success!
-
It's smart to do the annual furnace cleaning DIY. Last time I had a tech do it, he slapped "condemned" stickers on my perfectly functional furnaces due to "cracked heat exchangers." Showed me grainy pictures with hairline fractures on them.
I got a second opinion. They told me the first outfit was notorious for the "cracked heat exchanger scam." That was 5 years ago. 18yo furnaces still running great. -
Great vid, would love to see the same / similar maintenance for electric heat - baseboard homes.
-
I don't why I watched this video--I don't have a furnace. Good information to keep in the back of my head.
-
That was nicely explained. I haven’t seen any such a easy process for maintenance. I never checked my furnace for 15 years. This year just before the winter I decided to call a professional for checking. He came opened cover cleaned the sensor, removed little dust with brush and VOILA. He didn’t even check the filter.
$150 +HST. In less than 10 min.
Now next service in 10 years, and by my self.
Thanks for video. -
Thanks for the info! I'm on it, confidently!
-

-
Thanks for the tips. Easy to follow, and very timely this time of year.
-
Good, clear explanation. Thank you, this info will be useful to me.
-
Great video!!! I want you thank you both very much for your detailed expertise in your fields. I am a newer followers but already have used your videos to help me get through a lot of DIY projects that have saved me a lot of money. My son and I will be working on our furnace tomorrow to get ready for the weather change. Thank you again!!
