Bell curve good indicator of various IQs
Jun 01, 2011 | “I just want to thank you,” I said to the older gentleman whose house I had come to, back when I was in the plumbing and heating business. He had asked me to come and give him a price on what was then a revolution in the heating world, the Lennox Pulse furnace, the first 90-plus efficient gas furnace. His house was tiny. Two bedrooms, a dirt cellar under only part of the house, a small living room and a small kitchen.
“I want the 80,000-Btu one,” he stated emphatically to me, the only problem being that I knew that 80,000 Btu’s would heat about six of his houses; the noise that this larger Pulse made would drive him crazy, and the constant short on-off cycling would wreak havoc with the blower motor, not to mention the drafty feeling that the larger blower would cause him.
I did my best to point out that I had much smaller furnaces in his immediate neighbor’s houses; that he would get by for less money; that the furnace would be more comfortable, etc., etc. Nothing would change his mind. I stuck my hand out to him, put a big smile on my face, and thanked him. He seemed unsure why, knowing that his opinion on all this was definitely contrary to mine. I said matter of factly to him: “Thank you for letting me know right up front that you and I are not going to get along on this.” And I left.

Furnace blower motor turns on and off repeatedly?
Feb 04, 9965 by Jeff W
When my gas furnace comes on, the blower motor turns on and off 3 to 4 time before it will stay on. Other than this start up problem, everything works normally.
When the furnace blower turns off and on it is very rapid like one second. I cleaned the thermocouple and it solved the problem for about a day. Now it only shuts off once instead of 3 or 4 times. I did install a programmable thermostat but this problem started a couple weeks later.
In most furnaces the blower motor is attached by a thermocouple to the heat exchanger. When the heat exchanger gets hot enough it triggers the thermocouple which acts like a switch to turn on the blower motor. I suspect your thermocouple is going bad. Recommend professional help.
Gas furnace blower motor rating?
Aug 23, 2006 by sky_jerm
I have a 16-year old Trane XL80, single-stage gas furnace. I am replacing is with a new Trane XL90, dual-stage gas furnace. I'm rewiring my garage, and I'd like to put the garbage disposal (1/2 hp) on the same 15A circuit as the furnace, since I'm just powering the blower. Problem is I can't figure out what the blower draws. Does anyone have any ideas or any ballparks? I've asked Trane and gotten no response. I've asked the contractor who's going to install the new furnace, but he's decided to stop returning my phone calls (a common problem with Bay Area contractors). Thanks for any help.
Answers to some questions.
The existing circuits are
- dedicated 15A for disposal (1/2 hp = 7A, roughly)
- furnace shares 15A circuit with upstairs master bedroom and some general lighting
Sq. footage, panel rating, main breaker rating, etc. are not relevant, since I'm not asking for total guidance.
The reason I want to share these two appliances is that I've run out of space in my panels to bring the kitchen up to code, I don't want to rip out an entire panel to add 1/2 slot, although I may do that anyway, and I don't want to put motors on the same circuits as lighting.
Per CA code, furnace blower should be on a dedicated circuit. Disposal must be. I'm cheating, because the probability of starting the disposal *and* having a 2-stage furnace kick into high (from a dead stop) at the exact same time is about as close to zero as it gets.
I install and service heaters and it is possible to do what your trying to do however its against code in most municipalities. The amp draw on those type of motors is maybe 3 or 4 amps however the max amp possible could be as high as 10amps. When you size a breaker it goes by full load amps not running amps so if you have both come on at the same time it is possible it will trip the breaker. I would add it onto another breaker or add a new breaker for it just to be safe.
