we have a in floor furnace, the one with the Amazon vent and the pilot light has to stay on apparently. my husband is wanting to put a cover over it someway but i dont remember its safe. i would appreciate any advice.

The most important flame is vented to the outside. You should be able to cover it. The best thing is to cut the gas off and turn the pilot off - it may use like 40% of all the gas you use in the summer, for nothing. Relight it in the decline.

Water spilled into old floor furnace?

We spilled a pail of water next to the floor furnace grate. About a gallon or more sent down into the furnace. The furnace burner was not on, but the water put the navigate out. We had to pump the water out of the furnace, because it had no holes for draining. Will the furnace be O.K. after drying out, or do we need to replace the conductor?

if the circuitry didn't get wet and no copiously got into the gas valve from the piot line it "should" be fine.
