How do solve problem of furnace condensation line from freezing up outside our building andthis causes our furnace to stop?

It is generally (pretty much always) a no no to run a furnace condensate line to the outdoors, there is no avoiding this freezing up and stopping your furnace short of wrapping it with electric heat tape, which would be a bandaid at best and no more cheaper than correcting it. If the furnace is running condensate outside, I have to assume there is no drain near by. The best solution is to install a condensate pump, which the furnace and AC can drain into, and it then pumps to a different location indoors, like a laundry stack, or if you must, tap into a drain pipe with the proper fittings. If this is above your skill level, it would not be a bank buster to call a good contractor and have done. The pumps are about $60 in my area, and you can figure 1/2 hr to 3/4 hour to install by a contractor.


When should you use em heat on the thermostat?

EM (or emergency heat) can be used if you have a problem with your other heat source such as a heat pump. In most cases, you will not need this but what it does is bi-passes the primary heat source and allows your secondary heat source (normally your furnace) to become the primary.


When you run the air conditioning on the furnace central air water is flowing onto the floor what could be the problem?

I had the same problem after I replaced my outside motor. Water was literally spurting from inside the outgoing drain. I disconnected the inside drain line going out and a big wad of dirt, dust and whatever came out like a big snake. I then cleaned the rest of it with bleach and it drains like it is supposed to now.


Will the gas go on and off until it reaches the correct heat in a gas furnace?

Yes, the thermostat in your home causes the gas valve to come on inside the furnace, although in some of the newer, high efficiency furnaces the process is a little more complicated. Furnaces usually detect the temprature inside the plenum and turn on the blower to move warm air into the home. Once the home is up to temperature, the gas is shut off and the blower will run until the plenum is cooled. The gas should not go off and on until it reaches the desired temperature. The gas should come on and the burners should stay lit until the desired temperature is reached. If this is not the case and the burners come on and off, you have a problem. If the burners come on and stay on until the temp set on your thermostat is reached then all is well. If you notice your burners are not lit and the temp is not reached and the blower is on, then you have a problem that needs a service tech. Your filter could be clogged or your flue pipe could be blocked or there may be a problem with your high limit.

Your furnace blows air when the thermostat is off you replaced the thermostat and the wires from the stat to the furnace but the problem still exists The furnace sHow is no error codes any ideas?

If the thermostat is wired correctly, it looks like that was not the problem. Not enough info to go much further than that other than to check the indoor fan relay. On an older model furnace look at the setting of the pointers on the fan/hi temp limit switch, if yours is an older unit with one of these I am betting that is your problem.
