Is there a DIYer method for heat exchanger inspections. My furnace is a model that has been know to get leaks. I don't see an easy way to get at the exchanger without tearing the system apart.
Assuming we (the DIYers) don't have camera tubes, is there another way.
Accurate CO meters to a few PPM would be to expensive.
How about some sort of visual inspection with the flame?
Would the jet of blue flame change if there was a leak - maybe when the fan turns on? Seems hard to visualize since the inducer seems to really pull the flame into the tubes. Would probably need to be a big leak to effect the flame? :huh:
