So tell us Hans, how he one perform all of these "Key points" before he
starts ??
Also, a couple of "Key points" overlooked.
Check burner pressure with a manometer.
Notify neighbors on either side of you that you're installing your own
furnace (in case they want to move)
Invest money saved from installation into a high yeild return in case house
or family destroyed in fire or explosion, because insurance is now null and
void.
