I was wondering where my post was. Thanks.
It will be cold tomorrow and I am still without heat. I am working on this real slow (have full time job). Because my exhaust pipe goes to the roof, it is at least 15' + and slope so I cannot really tell for sure if I clear all the debris. I want to toss something down the exhaust pipe to see if it fall all the way to the bottom but I don't want any more un-necessary object lodge inside the pipe if indeed there is a blockage.
The unit is only 6 years old. If I can figure a way to check the long flue pipe for blockage and can 100% sure there is no blockage and the thing still does not run I will have to call Lennox directly and asked for their recommendation on a technician.
The reason for getting a Lennox tech out is to also asked for his/her opinion on the way the exhaust is vented to see if it is correct and why the builder never place a cap on the end to prevent things from getting into the exhaust pipe. Also to asked if the drain (black box area) is properly installed and if the furnace is tilled properly.
The external pipe attached to black box is insulated so I cannot tell if there is a trap there. I don't want to cut the insulation at this point. It does get very cold in the attic during winter time down south here in Texas.
