With today’s advanced technology and high-efficiency furnaces, your heating and cooling equipment require more precise procedures to ensure optimum performance and a trouble-free life. Here are a few items that must be done to properly clean and tune new natural gas or LP furnaces.
7. Perform a combustion analysis.
8. Read and record the temperature in the supply and return plenums.
The supply air plenum temperature on condensing and induced-draft furnaces should be 60 degrees warmer than the return air temperature.
9. Check and adjust the gas pressure.
10. Check for gas leaks.
11. Look for proper support of the vent pipe. Check pipe support hangers.
12. Set the heat-off delay. For best reliability and maximum efficiency, set the heat-off delay to the longest time available (typically 180 seconds).
