    I’m with sdrealtor… if it’s ‘barely working’, ask the seller to replace it. Blame it on the inspector ie. “My inspector said this heater won’t make it another year. He says I shouldn’t buy this house with the current heater.”

    You’re the buyer. You have the leverage.

    You can ask for a 1 year warranty on the heater, if is goes within the year, then the warranty covers you. We just did this, we are buying, the AC units did not work. The house is 11 years old, they did get them working and are giving us 1 year warranty on them.

    It obviously never hurt to ask. The worst they can say is no. Seller paid for my 1 year warranty and I didn’t need to use it, but it’s a good thing to have/request.

    You may want to call an HVAC guy to come out to fully inspect the heater. They can also do a carbon monoxide test. I believe SDGE may even do that. However getting an HVAC company out there will provide a more comprehensive inspection and they will be able to back your claim for either a new heater or credit at COE towards a new heater. If there is a carbon monoxide issue then you will have a safety issue and will want to know about that anyways.
