I need a new furnace if you go to vacation near Chicago and then miss installing furnaces.

I'm down in cincy, I'll take a working vacation and slam a furnace in for ya. Unlike mayne I love my job but I'm self employed and don't get stuck installing every day. Like mayne I take money, lodging, beer and weed as payment. Can you source the furnace? I'll drive up with all my tools in the car. I'm slammed right now so you'll have to wait a little while.

Thanks, I dont know how to source the furnace .. I know I need new furnace, some ducts to be fixed or replaced, and a new Air Conditioner. 3 ton capacity should be plenty as I've only got 1000 sq feet above ground, then 1000sq feet of basement with a few north and a few south facing windows
Finished part of the basement is insulated against the exterior walls.

I have money, spare bed, and beer, but no weed.. I'd rather pay an old ATOT guy than a random corporate entity.

It is mostly not functional (igniter coil having trouble, doesnt light and it cycles a bunch of times and eventually lights, sometimes the heat/flame sensor appears to cut off the gas at random, I have done the "sand paper" trick .. ) .. the thing is like 30 years old, and I know there is a carbon monoxide risk with it as well...

Is your projected timeline "the next couple of weeks" ? or are we talking months?

Hmmm like 60hz sound like a transformer? If you take the panel off you'll see a black motor with a small flywheel on it, does that spin up at all? Try to spin it manually see if the 60hz hum changes, I wonder if the motor is fubar, or the capacitor for it.

Though what you could also do is when it's doing it, look for a flashing LED on the circuit board, you may have to open up the blower compartment and hold down the safety switch, though on my furnace there's a small window where I can see the LED so don't have to take the cover off. Basically it will flash in a certain pattern like long long short short short, record that and somewhere on the panel cover or other area should be an error code table. That's pretty much how I figured out my issue.

There is also a 24v transformer in the furnace for the thermostat, maybe it's shorted out somewhere so when the thermostat relay clicks it's just shorting out the transformer and it's humming. Though that would require quite a wire fault...

I guess try to figure out exactly where the hum comes from and go from there.

I'm not an expert mind you, I just figure these things out as I go, but this is my educated guess.

Thanks, I've got a heating/AC guy coming in tomorrow at 8 AM, I'll post the results.

There's physically no diagnostic light or there is no light pulse code? Furnaces have quit a few sensors and it could be one of those.

There's no diagnostic light. I take the door off and hold down the kill switch, but there's no light, or if there is, it's not lighting up and I can't find it.

I no longer need a new furnace.
Guy who likes his job and takes pride in it instead installed new furnace, and it is a nice upgrade.

Thanks skull!
