    Question about OLD FURNACES.

    Are furnaces good for disassembling of just cashing in as iron/steel? anything of them on value worth stripping?

    I pull the blower motors, any wire and the gas valve. The gas valve sells as aluminum breakage. If there is a coil pull it. Check the heat exchanger it may be stainless steel. Sell the rest as tin or mixed metal.

    First of all Greetings and thanks for the great resource. (New Member). I have a similar question. I have come across a few baseboard electric heaters. Is there anything worth separating like the heating elements?
