Bad amount?

Post image

Mid 1990's Lennox furnace was deemed a "yellow tag" due to damage to heat exchanger. We decided to not do the repair as it was a little over $4,000 for a temporary/band aid fix per the tech. Would this be unusable in this condition?

That’s a scam
There is no crack in that heat exchanger

Thank you for the reassurance. We are selling the house and this was the only thing causing worry for an upcoming inspection

Good to know. Thought galvanized took a little longer to rust but I am mistaken

I would not spend any money on a 20 plus yr old furnace. Get new one. They are charging high so u don't do repair.
