I just had a tech clean the air tubes going across the gas burners but loud boom stopped and has now returned.Lasted about a week..also the tech showed me a rather large hole in the firewall of the gas furnace.I have an American Standard GPH Hydronic Gas Furnace GPH 100.Any Ideas why the problem keeps happening?Oh,and I also noticed a crack and a small hole just above the exhaust pipe going into the chimney,could this be part of the cause? Anybody know? Thanks!
