Major HVAC problems found in Spring Valley, MN home inspection.

Many folks believe themselves to be able to handle many tasks around their home.  Do-it-yourself is great as long as you know how far to go and when to get help.  This situation is a serious fire and safety hazard.  Furnaces must be raised at least 18" off the floor when in a garage to prevent CO from being sucked into the furnace.  The lack of ductwork creates fire, burn, and multiple other hazards.  Possibly the least of problems is that the furnace sits in front of the electrical panel.
When in doubt, call a professional!
