33 year old furnace wtf?
Guy you got like, 20 years of free furnace.

Plan for maintenance.

That's parts and labor right?
Furnance doing it yourself is like $300-$800 depending on BTU. Plus when you own stuff ya gotta have money tucked away otherwise setting yourself up for failure.

Its not that hard tho, hit a YT video and do that shit yourself honestly. I don't call anyone for literally anything. Learn & do.
Might be a lot of curse words along the way but now you're that much more prepared.

Edit, don't be a sissy either. Keep the gas on and just thumb it. Check for leaks with a lighter like a real man lmao


Most places its illegal to do it yourself because natural gas systems need to have someone certified to work on them (gas ticket) and then they get inspected by a gas safety organization afterwards.
Fire because of uncertified gas work? No insurance, lots of fines, life ruined.

But cool, you saved a few bucks.

Never use any open flame.

I've used detectors that are worth almost $1000 that are wrong. Those pens are extra extra junk.

Gotta live life on the edge big dawg
I wont use the electrical pens aswell. They can be super wrong and fk that. I use a fluke digital multimeter for that with an amp clip

Residents in the USA that own their home have a right to repair. Since I also own other properties I still have the right to repair.
OR to be specific I don't own property in other states/countries. Big whoop, its easy peasy

A few? For something that easy? I saved like $600 lmao and it took like 5 minutes and 0 brain cells to do. Yellow teflon, get that shit on their good, give it a shot.
It smells like eggs youd absolutely know if you fucked up lmao then maybe dont try the lighter

I feel like common sense plays a major role here.
