We have a brand new a/c and furnace...so yearly stuff is included in what we paid for like 5 years or something at no cost. Our old furnace was easy enough to check stuff on, these new furnaces though.. I'm not even sure I'd know what I was looking at inside. Face HE stuff that I know nothing about. I'd still have our A/C checked/cleaned yearly though no matter what.

Our furnace is about 5 years old and I had it serviced in 2019. I wasn't planning on having somebody out to look at it but maybe I should because like you said, I can look in but hell if I know what I'm looking at.

Let's face it, unless I smell gas or the flames look off, I won't have anybody out to look at it. I have to admit, I love that burning dust smell when you turn on the furnace for the first time.

It's not like there's a lot to check on most units. Turn it on. Is the heat on? Normal LEDs on the board? Okay, stay warm and change your filter regularly.

[eddy]

Do most people have an annual inspection before turning on the heat?

Unfortunately a lot of the warranty for furnaces rely on a yearly inspection. I kept up with it for about 7 years with our new system, but haven't had anyone out in the last 3 or 4.

If that's the case, then sure, go for it. If it's not a requirement, I think you're largely just burning cash.

Got tired of hearing about it from the wife.

My normal heat start-up routine takes a little while, courtesy of boiler heat. Gotta crank up the thermostat, make sure the pilot light is working and the gas igniting. Then I gotta check the rads to make sure they don't need bled and are heating up. House gets sweltering for a little bit while everything settles in.

I had mine serviced when we moved in then skipped 5 years. Mistake. One of the drain tubes was clogged with debris, backing up into the impeller. Nearly cost me a new furnace, still cost me $650 to repair.

I'll get a yearly check-up now because of it. Just set mine up today, actually.

interesting. is it hard to clean out?

not at all. daily I pretty much just rinse it and dispose of the grounds on a daily basis. they say that moka pots are kind of like cast iron pans and not over-cleaning them helps season them essentially. I do give it a good scrub about once a week or so where I remove the gasket and filter.

@MrKennethTKangaroo

but an aluminum moka pot at home goods this weekend for 6 bucks. so far so good. running thru old grounds before i go get my espresso beans

It's sad, AB is basically what would happen if CTE could take a physical form

[mikey]

Haha I have seen middle fingers get blurred out with more vigor than that...

That said, there's nothing more gross than a public bathtub, so this is pretty close to a plant/grow situation anyhow...provided there were no kids around...
