Polk County are very great. They are on time, courteous to answer the phone and they do all our disconnect and reconnect of sinks. I don't have any complaints about them. They are really reasonable.
Then we called Polk County. Polk County techs came out at short notice that day.
Unfortunately, they couldn't detect any leaks using their sniffer device at the time of the call. Visual checks also didn't find anything wrong w/ flame pattern or furnace. The reliability of the Honeywell smart valve was questioned by all of us looking at furnace, as the valve had already been replaced twice in 4 years.
I didn't want to replace the smart valve again due to the cost of it, compared to the cost of a new furnace. I decided to get quotes for new furnaces to be proactive, if this thing started leaking again. The valve was only 1 year old.
Another company did come out for a free furnace estimate, and we smelled raw gas coming out of the furnace exhaust pipe outside. They said they could come out and do diagnostics on it. They did a few days later, and found a slight pilot leak from the Smart valve, and an excessive gas spike when the furnace turned on which explained the raw gas smell. Also, they found some low level of gas/CO coming from the registers which indicated a leak from the Heat exchanger. At this time, I definitely decided to get a new furnace.
Anyway, the point was, that the Polk county Basic check didn't find any problem. They have checked our furnace in years before with the basic inspection. I know the smart valve is unreliable, but wonder how long our heat exchanger has been looking. Our family has had symptoms consistent with low level exposure to natural gas.
