Termet Internal Corrosion / Heat Exchanger or Condensate Component Leak

Rust-colored water or stains around the furnace base.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Leaking primary heat exchanger, Corroded condensate pan, Long-term condensate overflow in Termet cabinet

Safety: Turn off power and gas. Corrosion can compromise combustion safety.

Inspect heat exchanger area: Look for rust trails from the heat exchanger or flue collector.
Check condensate components: Examine the condensate trap and hoses for long-term leaks.
Do not ignore: A leaking heat exchanger can allow flue gases into the air stream.

Heat exchanger or internal corrosion issues must be addressed by a qualified Termet technician; replacement of major components may be required.
