My company does work for an apartment complex built in the 1970s. Half the furnaces are still the original standing pilot furnaces, for obvious reasons. People who can afford to buy 600 unit apartment complexes are cheap, right. We bid air conditioner replacements a few months ago and specifically included an amendment to their bid packet, to have any standing pilot furnace replaced with the air conditioner. Because there is no manufacturer approved way, that I know of, to mitigate a standing pilot furnace. Nonetheless, the maintenance heads are sending install requests our way now, with no knowledge of any of this. They’re probably going to be disappointed when they find out we can’t just throw an AC on these 50 year old furnaces anymore. I gotta protect my ass and do things by the book, but questions still remain. Every single one of these furnaces, even the newer ones with electronic ignition, sit in a closet with a standing pilot water heater. How do you mitigate that?…
