Today was the Heat Exchanger install! Took a total of 20 minutes.................with the assistance of the best sheet metal man in these parts. I give him fire wood, which is his sole source of heat in his home and when I need anything metal related he takes care of me.
This is the first cut into the plenum of the furnace.
The heat exchanger installed. We built a shelf for it to sit on and all we had to do was just slide the heat exchanger in.
Les, the metal wizard, built a stainless steel cover for the exchanger and here he is fitting it in place.
Once all the trimming was done the final product was awesome!
Now its just a matter of installing the PEX lines to the exchanger!
