ejager Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 2000 Carrier 120,000 BTU mid effciency furnace. Airconditioning system above heat exchanger leaked and I found rusting of the heat exchanger. Obviously rust is bad, how much is 'observe' bad and how much is 'replace now' bad?

Jim Katen Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'd say the situation in your picture is fix-the-problem-and-don't-let-it-continue-to-worsen bad. Or, if you're less bold than I, it's call-an-HVAC-contractor-to-make-sure-it's-ok-then,-if-it-is,-fix-the-problem-and-don't-let-it-continue-to-worsen bad. - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence McCann Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 As long as the leak is fixed you're free to worry about something else. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resqman Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Is rust going to cure itself if left alone and checked 3,6 or 12 months later? How much water went behind the cover vs in the area you can see? Call the HVAC guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
