    The product, in the report: Trane VX80 Furnace Model TUD2B080A9V3VBA

    My TRANE XV80 Furnace had a malfunction on January 9, 2021. An electronics diagram sticker, the size of a piece of paper, was inside of this device, came loose, and was being sucked into the blower fan. This furnace is installed at my house, in a basement room. We were made aware of the problem when the furnace turned on and was making a strange banging noise. The installing company was called to inspect the furnace, and they found the sticker in the blower area. No one was hurt in this process. In my opinion, this sticker should not have been located inside the machine where it can come loose. My concern is that it might have damaged my machine or caught on fire if we had not turned off the device and made a service call.

    The product, in the report: heating/Air furnace

    Caller stated that the furnace has a burning problem (flashback) and is very noisy. He feels that this furnace is unsafe. He contacted the company, a technician was sent out and he was informed that the heat exchanger needed to be replaced.

    Caller stated that he has this problem since installation and he does not feel they are willing to replace the furnace.

    Caller bought and installed an American Standard brand furnace for a homeowner. Upon commissioning the furnace, caller found out that the furnace burners have excessive noise and abnormal flames that felt disturbing and unsafe for the homeowner and worrisome to caller as the service provider. After hours of investigation and trying things that could possibly correct the problem, the problem remained unresolved. Caller contacted EMCO Plumbing and Heating Supplier Exclusive Distributor and Supplier of American Standard furnaces in B.C. to do their own observations and remedy of the furnace issue. EMCO hired a heating technician who checked and tried fixing the problem with no success. The technician’s observation revealed a sort of error occurring in the burners due to possible cracks or restrictions in the heat exchanger. The Vancouver City Plumbing and Gas Inspector failed the furnace on the basis of safety standards.

    The seller and manufacturer have refused the request of caller and the consumer to replace the furnace. Initially, EMCO offered to replace the heat exchanger but eventually didn’t feel obliged to do anything anymore. The assigned EMCO City Inspector’s opinion are obviously very serious indications of issues for the seller to ignore. The reason for caller to allow the homeowner to use the furnace is if the burner box door (which is supposed to be closed) is kept not closed, it helps the burners to function better. At the same time, it gives the homeowner some heat even with a degree of risk. This furnace needs a thorough factory testing for finding the exact cause of the issue for the sake of correcting the manufacturing process and public safety.
