Hello from south eastern Michigan! Experiencing this myself. Furnace from 94'ish. Just started going on and off, had my local Hvac company come out and same thing. Roof jack rusted out. Here I am getting a new furnace.
Thank you very much for your videos im hvac guy myself , just moved from big city to mobile homes park,and i got to tell you that your vids are the most informative about this subject.Great job.
I am so glad I ran into your channel. I have the exact same roof Jack and I just happened to look up the other day and wondered if it was normal to see that much rust. I will be getting my hvac guys out before cold weather hits To check it out.
We live in a modular home there's usually always a spider in the office the very first time I turn it on that roof jack is definitely shot that was alot of rust on there
Get yourself a pair of Skechers sport vigor 2.0 sneakers and throw them on your truck when you have to get on meat roofs, they get unbelievable traction on metal roofs, saw that from a metal roofer on a video, got a pair for my metal roof, work great, way better than work boots!
Man thank you so much for this video I got up on my roof and mine is rusted . It is below zero temperatures where I’m at I can’t find a replacement is there a temporary fix I could do for now until I can get some thing my family is freezing and I don’t know what to do until I find a replacement .. thank you so much for this video 😁
I have a regular house and the tube goes straight up and through the roof. I never knew they could rust. It's a few years old with no sign of rusting. I would imagine in the case of a bad roof jack, the CO2 monitor would go off. The plumber who installed my natural gas water heater cut the hole through the roof and fit the pipe to the outside, but he said I needed a roofer to finish it. That was an additional $500 for the roofer
So where are you supposed to get furnace roof jacks? I can't find anything. The ones I found I was going to get are aluminum but apparently you're not supposed to use aluminum. Mine looks big like that, but it has a flex tube going from the furnace to a different roof jack which I assume is the intake. Don't even use the furnace anymore because of trash duct board vents so I guess my best option is to just remove it and put shingles over it. Scum bag roofers reinstalled all of my old broken vents when they did my roof and they leak. This sucks.
Are you sure that roof jack doesn't just slide over the chimney? I have a Nordyne similar to that one, and that's the way mine was. The jack just slides over and attaches with 3 screws (horizontally) to the part of the chimney that goes through the flange. The hard part was separating the inner pipe of the jack from the inner chimney pipe. They were corroded together, but it can be done.
Well then I talked to my heating guy today, and he said that the whole flue can get pinholes in the inner wall, so I guess maybe that was what you were looking at. (So am I ☹)
Another example of "pay me now or pay me later". Cheap style of house to get into too, but a few years down the road the cheapness is the components used to build the house will come back and bite you.
Cut it,enlarge the hole some and slide the new one down. The flashing will show, paint it. Extend the vent with an 18' extension. Needs to be above the snow line
Yes Ron, there is a roof jack extension made for that purpose. The home manufacturer and I went round and round about why it wasn't included from day one. They said that Western PA.was just at the border of the deeper snow line. Passing the buck !
You guys are suggesting to modify the flue. You need to understand that this is a modular home, the rules are a bit different. He handled this correctly, reminds me when I was working. Don't miss those units at all. Just a tip, when checking the heat exchanger, usually I found that problems developed to the far left and right of the burner. If it is the dome type, look under the 6 in. tube that goes into the secondary, used to find cracks develope there also.
FOUND ONE THAT A HACK INSTALLED AND AND engineer also f.... up. Opened ceiling to find two illegal 90* plus; what a shot job. P.s . No 90* made for this type of furnace. Straight shot up only.

Amazing video
See this all time up here in the Traverse City area. Spider webs in the orifice and rotted jacks. Good video man!

Definitely a crusty one. Thxs for the vids!
I got a mobile home and the roof vent closet to the furnace, to me it looks like black sut is around it what would cause this?

Really like your videos keep up the good work😊

electric space heaters good enuf 4 this naybor hood
That's a very common problem. Why didn't they replace it when they put roof on

They make inside and out side vent extensions .
I've done Coleman for 40 years.
Hi eff: is the best option would still be cheaper i guess than the chimney and roof work. learnt something new Thanks
Call won't let you run flex connectors through the hole in the furnace
How come you don’t do any refrigeration videos ?
You would be better going with a 90% furnace and run pvc
Why stay in residential HVAC? I'd try commercial industrial!
I agree withe the guy below. Patch the roof (a roofing company) and get a 90+.
I had no choice but use a roofer to finish it.
u all jacked up aftr that 1
Slide a pipe inside till to get buy till you have parts time

You need a helper. Nice work.
I'm getting a little bit to old to be on a roof be careful
i live in the northeast and been in the trade for 20 years,I've never seen one of those furnaces in my area
Your missing out as you can tell LOL
Feel blessed... Truly 😂
you don't want to see them either, utters piles of #$%^&*()(*&^%$#
Corrosive environment in that area more fresh air
#157 thumbs uP
FOUND ONE THAT A HACK INSTALLED AND AND engineer also f.... up.
Opened ceiling to find two illegal 90* plus; what a shot job.
P.s . No 90* made for this type of furnace. Straight shot up only.
Anyone with experience on modular home furnace knows .
Time involved to make right.
Walk away.
