"I would think not disabling a furnace that could be compromised would be unlawful for him."
If there are any such laws, I would think it would be on a state-by-state basis.
Some years ago there was a disreputable heating outfit in my area that had their own "red tag" condemnation tags printed up saying "this furnace is condemned under law", etc., etc., and they raked in a lot of $$$ from scaring old folks nearly to death and replacing their furnaces, and not with top-rate stuff, the way it seemed to me.
Finally, the (older and appearing trustworthy) owner passed away, leaving the business to his sons, and it didn't last long, maybe they didn't appear as trustworthy?
At one point, after an elderly friend was nearly scammed by them, I made a bunch of phone calls to various State agencies, and no one could direct me to any agency dealing with "condemnation" of furnaces, or any such law in my state.
I asked an attorney friend about it, and he had no knowledge of any such thing.
But that was ONE state, and 15 or so years ago, so there could be a LOT of variations to this.
I can definitely see having the reg tags ready to attach to a TRULY bad appliance is DEFINITELY a good idea, not to mention "CYA" for the service company.
But doing it as a "scam" and mentioning a non-existent "law", NOT so nice!

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
