Will my older Faribault furnace pass inspection, and what do you look for?

We don't pass or fail systems; we evaluate condition and safety and report honestly. With Faribault's older homes you'll commonly find furnaces that are aging or were replaced piecemeal, and our cold southern-Minnesota winters put real demand on them. We check the furnace's age, operation, and how it cycles, the flue and venting for proper draft and backdrafting, and signs of corrosion or rust. A key safety item is the heat exchanger: on older gas furnaces, cracks can develop and leak carbon monoxide into the living space, which is genuinely dangerous. We inspect what's visible and recommend further evaluation by an HVAC technician when access is limited or we see red flags. We also note filter condition, ductwork, and whether the system seems adequately sized for the home. A furnace nearing the end of its life isn't necessarily a deal-breaker, but you'll want to budget for replacement. Knowing the system's real condition before you buy helps you negotiate.
