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.

Are goodman furnaces any good?

Goodman backs their furnace with a 10 year parts and lifetime on heat exchanger warranty on most models. so they must be pretty confident about their product. The older entry level furnaces had a noisier burner than most but the new models are about the same with other makes. Some might say it is cheaply made but all entry level furnaces wether it is Trane,Carrier or Lennox are cheaply made.You just pay a lot more for those furnaces because of all the advertising. As far as reliability and performance, I don,t see any problems with the current models.Some will say that the sheet metal cabinet is not as thick as the other brands but that only matters if your going to sleep on top of it.The important part is that it is sized properly and installed by a reputable company.I have installed and service all these brands and I don't see the advantage in installing the more expensive brand cause they all break and some were even DOA. I have had customers who insist in installing Carrier and Trane and get upset when their unit breaks down and can't believe that it did especially when the one year labor warranty is up.


Most reliable central air heat pump?

For years the name Lennox came up as the most reliable heat pumps and furnaces. The truth nowadays is it is much more important how it is installed and sized than what who makes it. The parts in these heat pumps are very similar- same compressor(most use a Copeland scroll compressor), same gauge copper, similar coils, same brand fan and blowers, etc. The most expensive heat pump will fail soon if not installed properly.


How a multispindle drilling machine function?

Multi-spindle drilling machines - such as those used to drill multiple holes in say a skateboard for the wheels - have all the drill 'heads' connected by gears to one motor. That way, the gear assembly (a) ensures the all rotate in the same direction and (b) operate at the same speed.


Where is the filter located on a Moncrief gravity furnace model G-90?

i have the same one with out a filter... i put a filter over the big hole on the side of furnace.i also put a box fan over it to help push the heat through, it saved a little on my average gas bill as well


Is yield strength and proof stress same?

Yes it is the same. Offset Yield strength = 0.2% Proof Stress

Amana furnace gas n electric or electric n electric use the same compressor model number?

Yes, the compressor provides cooling it does not have anything to do with how you are heating the house other than it is using the furnaces fan.


What is reversed polarity is a mobile home furnace?

Never heard of such (and I fix a lot of furnaces) -please explain more. Most mobile home furnaces are the same as furnaces in small houses.


Is boiler and furnace are same?

No, furnaces are forced air heat. Boilers are hot water heat.


Why cupola furnace called crucible furnace?

A cupola furnace is not the same as a crucible furnace. A cupola furnace is a type of melting furnace used mainly for iron melting, while a crucible furnace is a type of melting furnace that uses a ceramic or graphite crucible to contain the molten metal. The names reflect the different structures and functions of the two types of furnaces.


How do you know if you have a single or 2 stage furnace?

Look at the furnaces low voltage thermostat connections, W are the heat terminals. If you have W1 and W2 with wires connected to both it is 2 stage. As long as you have W1 and W2 at the thermostat also and the same color wires are landed there. A 2 stage furnace will operate with a single stage stat but less efficiently.


Is a heat exchanger the same as having a furnace?

Heat exchangers are not indentical to furnaces. However, they do serve a similar purpose. Both heat exchangers and furnaces serve important individual purposes. They also aee ulilitzed for different devices.


What is the typical value of resistance of an electric furnace?

Even without looking up the electrical specifications of the product, we know thatits electrical resistance is relatively low. Any device designed to produce heat musthave a low resistance.Let's just pull some numbers out of the air:-- 1500 square feet in the house-- industry recommends 35 BTU per square foot in your area ==> 52,500 BTU furnace required-- 3,400 BTU ==> 1 KW; 52,500 BTU ==> 15.4 KW-- to operate from 240 VACPower = E2 / R15,400 = (240)2 / RR = (240)2/15,400 = 3.74 ohmsAnd that's just the heating coils. The big air-mover fans that distribute theheated air throughout the house are also in parallel, so the load across the240V service when the furnace is running is less than 3.74 ohms.We're guessing that electric furnaces don't operate from a normal 120VAC line.If one did, the corresponding resistance to produce the same amount of heatwould be 0.935 ohm !


Can you have 2 furnaces with 2 thermostats in one house?

Yes, that's what I have in my house. Each furnace/thermostat combo is separate. I just set them both to the same temperature and it all works fine.


How does a dentist use an electric arc furnace?

asked this same question on yahoo answers bit.ly/bI4XxE, got this response: This piece of equipment is more commonly used in a dental laboratory. It would be used in production of things such as porcelain fused to metal(PFM) crowns or metal framework in dentures. Anything that would require metal to be cast for a specific purpose.


Are electric skillets the same as electric cookers?

Both electric skilles and electric cookers operate on the same type of cooking element but the utensil itself is different. However, a electric skillet is the same utensil as a skillet but uses the electric element to heat the food and the electric cooker is similar but it is more in the shape of a pan.


Can a gas-electric furnace and an electric-electric have the same model number for example RCE36C2C?

Highly doubtful... Try searching the model# on the manufacturers website for their model# nomenclacture. That will tell you everything you want to know about your unit.


Can an electric home water heater be installed in a mobile home?

YES, of course. All home water heaters, furnaces, air conditioners etc are the same as in a small regular house.
