in Gas Heating
Our natural gas provider in the Denver metro area is Excl Energy. Had a customer call them out to look at a new furnace install and they told the HO that he had 6% unburnt natural gas in his products of combustion while the furnace is running. Has anyone ever heard of a tester that will break out unburnt fuel at the termination of the exhaust vent? It's sure a new one on me. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Matt

No, never heard it expressed that way. I'd say he was trying to state that it was 94% efficient, but who knows. Did he leave a copy of the report?

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around that? A new form of incomplete combustion? I think Mark is probably on target.Steve Minnich0

It turns out that Bacharac has a device that will test the emissions from a exhaust vent from a apliance that functions simler to the emisions testing we get through the emisions testing we have to have done to our cars. Not a cheep tester at
$ 10,000.00 a pop but yes it can be tested. Guess that was one of many things I was supposed to learn today. Go figgure.There was an error rendering this rich post.

If you can learn something new each day, you will have a good day.

I wish I had a smart and insightful Pappy like yours.
Judging how many times a week my son calls me for advice, he must consider me like your Pappy.
Unfortunately (for him), it took him a long time to get to where he is today.
Or as I have shared, "I had to do everything I did, right or wrong, good or bad, to get to where I am today.
Or as my wife/his mother is fond of saying: "Life must be lived forward, but understood backwards".0
