A bad or misadjusted fan limit switch is the first thing I would look for.
yes it would
I would prefer Trane of the 3 you listed. But that`s just me.
The kerosene is a lighter oil. I think you would get more BTUs out of the heating oil. Just make sure that you are using the right fuel for the furnace that you have. Most now days would take heating oil.
The installation of a heating system can be a very time consuming and difficult job if you don't know what you are doing. We just had to replace our furnace, and we paid someone to do the job for us. As mentioned, unless you are skilled in heating and air conditioning, I would advise hiring a professional.
It depends on the duct system. Each furnace has a recommended outlet temperature. To get the proper airflow for that temperature the duct system has to be properly designed. If properly designed the speed would typically be low.
There is not really a bad brand out there. Honeywell will do as good a job at heating as some of the other brands will do. I would probably stay with some of the well known names out there like Trane or Lennox since parts for these are going to be more than likely easier to find.
The best cooling system for your new home is a TRANE cooling system. The best bet as far as pricing goes I would look for a local Trane dealer. You can look in the yellow pages for that.
I would think the question would be how do you find the parts for a sixty year old furnace. You are right, but that got me nowhere. So I am looking for someone who knows the answer to that question!
Due to the rising costs of oil, most people are struggling to deal with their rising heating and cooling prices. While central heating prices are much higher than they have been in the past, there are plenty of ways to reduce your central heating costs. One of the best ways to reduce your central heating costs would be to get a new furnace. Old furnaces tend to have much lower efficiency than a new one does. Because of this, if you switch to a new furnace, your furnace will need to work much less to keep your home warm. This will then reduce your central heating costs.
I noticed last year that my furnace didn't seem to working as efficiently as before. Would hiring a furnace duct cleaning service help? Would my furnace work better afterwards, or does a cleaning only help the air quality?
With the information provided, I would say no, not for a novice. But it can be done. A new furnace would be cheaper than my fees to change it...pkazsr Elementshvac: Ask your heating contractor for a Green Ecm motor upgrade. We install quite a few of them. It essentially converts your furnace fan to a DC variable speed furnace. http://elementsheating.com
Yes, if the heating is with methane or petrol.
