I have an existing freestanding Efel natural gas cast iron stove heater. While it falls under a "space heater" definition, there is obviously a big difference between it and, say, a cheapie plug-in electric heater which also is a "space heater". This is the problem I'm having with the home insurer. They won't look beyond their template to see exactly what kind of "space heater" it is. They generalize and in so doing are telling me that "space heaters are a risk hazard". How do I get around this?
"How do I get around this?" That is probably something you need to discuss with your insurer. Mine would not allow a stove like that either. It is too easy for a someone to get burned touching it or to place furniture or toys too close starting a fire...
While I know nothing about those heaters, if it caused a fire and you try to lie about it, that would be considered insurance fraud. How do I get around this? seems to scream this. Honestly, don't think it's worth it. Are they saying they won't cover a fire if caused by this heater or is it just a general warning to you as a safety precaution?
Doesn't matter. The insurance company is categorizing this as a space heater because of the higher risk of fire and because it sits in a living space. There's no way around it AFAICS.
I would look for another insurer. This is akin to companies that wouldn't write homeowner's insurance because the homeowner had certain breeds of dogs. I personally ran into that & told my insurer to take a long walk off a short pier.
Hi, I have a goodman propane furnace model # gks907703bxag about 8-9 years old.
Just now started running with no heat blower only, so I started looking around. The glow plug
glows bright orange and the flame sensor looks Ok I just gave it a quick wipe with 0000 emory paper.
The led trouble/idiot light glows solid red during the start up routine and doesn't flash but after
failed start it doesn't glow at all, AC still supplied .I didn't notice whether it was lit or not when I pulled the fronthatch panel, but I think it was not.As well it doesn't attempt any more than one cycle to start, isn't the norm 3?
I read though this site and figured out how to hot wire the gas valve from the transformer with
jumper wires, the valve opens properly using the jumper wires. I've checked the voltage at the gas valve and it reads 25-26 Vac until the valve tries to open during the start cycle then the voltage drops to zero.
I've checked the vacuum switch for the extractor blower and it seems fine , sucked on the tube and checked the switch with multimeter.
I think I might need a new control board, what do you all think?
Edited to add : I forgot to mention I ohmed the gas valve and it showed 840 ohms.
