I furnace was installed when the house was built in the 60's. The furnace has a wire basket, which I have to by the filter, cut to size and replace. My question can I use a regular air filtr for my furnace.
how and whydo iuse one wire to run my new electric furnace that says to use a spliter to attach to the 2 circuit brakers on the furnace. I cannot get it to work properly when I do
The electric furnace operates on 240 volts so a two pole breaker is needed.
If you mean an electric furnace then normally it is nichrome. a heating element in a heat strip is made of what type of wire
normally 8 gauge wire is used for electric heat furnaces.
If you replaced the furnace and thermostat this past winter, and now the A/C doesn't work. You probably just have a loose control wire. Check the yellow wire at the stat. It should be on the Y terminal. Next, look inside the furnace at the terminal block. The condenser wire should have two conductors. One hooks up with the yellow wire on the Y terminal of the terminal block. The other hooks to the C terminal. Always turn off the breaker to the furnace before working on any wiring. No need to fry the transformer.
Yes, a furnace requires a ground wire as part of its electrical system. The ground wire provides a safe path for electrical current to flow to the ground in the event of a fault, such as a short circuit. The ground wire is typically a green or bare copper wire that is connected to the metal frame of the furnace and to the grounding system of the building. Different furnace manufacturers may have slightly different ground wiring requirements, so it's important to consult the manufacturer's instructions when installing or modifying a furnace. However, regardless of the manufacturer, it's important to have the ground wiring installed correctly by a licensed electrician to ensure it's done safely and up to code.

turn breaker off. unhook thermostat wire to furnace turn breaker on. worth a try; if it works you will have to turn off breaker to shut it down.
Well it could be the hot and neutral wire needs to be swapped at the furnace. And if its an older unit that this has just occur on the control board could be faulty.
Most any hardware store. Sold by the foot for furnace controls and doorbells.
Sounds like you might have a blown transformer, or a blown fuse on the transformer. Hope for the fuse. Its on the Furnace. Be sure your white wire is on the heat side of the thermostat, and the red wire is on the correct terminal also. The transformer can be checked with a voltmeter.
Heating elements are tightly wound coils of resistive wire mounted inside of an electric furnace cabinet
