NEW CONSTRUCTION HVAC DEFECTS

(Click on pictures for enlarged view)

Many manufacturers require and all horizontal attic furnaces should have sheet metal on combustible plywood service flooring in front of the louvered covers for fire protection and flame roll-out protection as recommend by the Consumer Product Safety Commission due to the risk.

Furnace and water heater vent flue pipes should have a minimum 1" clearance to combustible material for double-wall type B gas vents and 6" for single wall.
Damaged vent flue pipes should be replaced to prevent exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide from entering the home and potentially injuring the occupants.
Gas piping should be properly secured in place to prevent excessive movement during earthquakes. This is especially important where connected to flexible gas connectors which are easily broken.
Air conditioning circuit breakers and fuses must be matched according to the manufacturers specifications, however with different condensers for various floor plans, the fuses and breakers often exceed the maximum rating on the label which can allow a surge to damage a $1500 condenser instead of a $5 fuse.
