Job completed for Jackie W.

Completion date: September 3, 2019

Location: Charlottesville, VA

Why did the customer contact us?

Jackie called because of a noisy furnace whose sound disrupted her home when it ran in air conditioning or heating mode.

Solutions provided:

We found an almost 40 year old York natural gas furnace with a failing pulley-based blower motor. We identified the needed parts and went back to the distributors and manufacturer to determine the availability of parts. We found that the unit is considered obsolete and that parts are no longer readily available.

So we recommended letting the system run as long as the noise was bearable. In the end, the motor failed in short order, so we replaced the furnace with a modern 80% efficient furnace that should provide quality, efficient heat and another long-life.
