Do the electric furnaces operate the same as a gas furnace?
The simple answer is yes it produces heat and is distributed to the rooms in your house; unless however, you are using electric baseboard heat which works on convection, or electric radiant heating panels.
What is the sequence of operations of gas furnaces?
Thermostat calls for heat. Induced draft fan motor starts. Vent pressure switch verifies pressure. Simultaneously gas valve opens and ignitor lights burner(ignition varies: hot surface ignitor, electronic spark ignitor, or standing pilot). Flame is sensed. High limit temperature switch is made. Blower fan runs. Thermostat calls for no heat. Gas valves close. Burners shut off. Induced draft fan shuts off. Blower fan put into fan delay(fan blower continues to run). Low limit temperature switch made. Fan blower stops.
What is the purpose of a draft diverter on a gas furnace?
It protects the Pilot Light from being blown out

What the purpose of the vent on a gas furnace?
The purpose of the vent on the furnace is to ventilate flue gases out side of the house.

What is the purpose of the drip leg in the gas piping located just before a gas appliance?
The purpose of a drip leg in the gas piping is used as a device to capture dirt and debris from entering the furnace.
How do you identify an electric furnace from a gas furnace?
an electric furnace runs off of 208/230 Volts while a typical gas furnace runs off of 120 also a gas furnace will have a valve for the gas relay where the gas enters the furnace.
How does a gas furnace work?
A gas furnace works by heating up the element inside the furnace. The gas comes into the furnace and is lit by a spark that comes from the pilot light. The fire heats up the element and air from the fan pushes the heat into the house.
Where to get a schematic for a gas furnace?
You can find a schematic for a gas furnace on the website, Uncionradio.
Where is the furnace pilot located?
The gas furnace pilot (flame is lit all the time) is sometimes referred to as a pilot light, but no matter what you call it, its purpose is to serve as a small ignition flame for the gas burner. And when this little flame fails to operate properly or go out, it's one of the most common reasons a gas furnace will fail to operate.
Forced draft fan vs induced draft fan?
In a balanced draft boiler, you actually have both: forced draft (FD) fans supplying air to the furnace, and induced draft (ID) fans removing flue gas. Typically, the FD fans control airflow, while ID Fans control furnace pressure to slightly below atmospheric pressure. In general though, the choice between forced draft and induced draft is based on how "tight" the system is - if you have leaks, it is better to use ID, as FD will cause product loss.
How do you run gas from the furnace to appliances?
You should not run gas from the furnace to any appliances.
