Furnace Repair Adventure

Contemplating the dilemma!
Treasures from inside the crucible.
Beautiful if it weren't so frustrating!
Glued shut with the glass that leaked out of the crucible.

Finally made it all the way inside!

I'm saving this chunk!
An interesting week at Nicholson Blown Glass. We suspected a leak when the crucible refused to fill up completely as we charged for the week. First we pushed through some order deadlines and, thankfully, Matt was able to come up and help with the repair. Although the furnace front was designed in 2007 to pull out to easily replace the crucible, this leak went all the way through the bottom and cemented the furnace together. Two days of pounding and chipping finally gave way and we are inside. What a mess! Clean up, rebuild, fit the new crucible and then we hope to be well on our way to a hot furnace. Can't really estimate when............but soon!

    Holy cow, that seems like such a process! I'm sorry you had to go through the experience, but it's something to look back on and laugh! Besides, it looks like it was kind of fun. At least the problem is solved and everything is back on track to the way it should be. Good luck with all the necessary changes!

    These precautions for preventing a furnace and boiler from overheating are so handy. All the things stated above will be essential for a homeowner who relocated few months ago in a new house. So, he should make sure every HVAC item is working fine. Heating and Cooling Ottawa
