It depends on the rating of the furnace. There should be a plate or sticker somewhere on the furnace that shows the rating. If you are just powering a blower motor the rating will be lower than if you have an electric heating element.
The size breaker you use is determined by the size wire used in the circuit. If you use AWG #12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If you use AWG # 14/2 then use a 15 amp breaker.
If you put a 85 amp breaker in there it will overheat from the starting and stopping of the motor. The extra size of the breaker insures that the furnace will run without interruption and without overheating the breaker. And electric motor can draw three times the amperage rated on start up momentarily. This is why there is need of extra amperage ratings.
Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.
25 amp breaker
AWG #3 copper.
The size of the breaker for a furnace will depend on the specific requirements of the furnace unit. It is recommended to check the furnace's user manual or consult with a qualified electrician to determine the correct breaker size for your particular furnace model. Using the wrong size breaker can be a safety hazard.
67,500 BTU electric furnace
Depends on the manufacture of the water furnace. Look at the data sheet or data plate on the furnace of contact the manufacture.
Yes, it is recommended to keep both the AC breaker and furnace breaker on, especially during the respective seasons when they are in use. This ensures that the units are powered and can function properly when needed.

Yes. It should be a dedicated circuit from the distribution panel. There should also be an emergence shut off switch outside of the furnace area . This switch allows you to shut the furnace down from a remote area if a malfunction occurs at the furnace.
Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.
25 amp breaker
To turn on a furnace without a thermostat, locate the furnace switch on or near the unit. Flip the switch to the "on" position to start the furnace. Keep in mind that without a thermostat, you won't be able to control the temperature or set a programmed schedule for the furnace to operate.
AWG #3 copper.
To turn off the furnace, locate the power switch or breaker connected to the furnace and switch it off. This will shut down the furnace and stop it from running.
