Furnace Repair, Install & Replacement in East Providence, RI

Visual Heating Inspection Summary

Arrived on site to perform an annual visual heating inspection of an 80% efficiency natural gas forced hot air furnace manufactured in January 2008, along with a 40-gallon A.O. Smith natural gas water heater manufactured in October 2012, both located in the basement.

Visually inspected the furnace’s accessible wiring, gas valve, inducer motor, burner compartment, and associated components. Observed dust and debris buildup inside the furnace cabinet. Recommend annual heating maintenance and cleaning to improve system efficiency, reliability, and overall performance.

Also performed a visual inspection of the 40-gallon natural gas water heater. Observed signs of corrosion and deterioration around the upper water connections and venting area. Due to the water heater’s age of approximately 14 years and visible corrosion, recommend complete replacement of the water heater to prevent potential leaks and unexpected equipment failure.

Customer was advised of both recommendations. Additional operational and combustion testing would be required to confirm safe performance.
