As a first year HVAC student, I found this book to be an excellent "go-to" source for much of the information being presented to me on a daily basis. The charts, diagrams, and pictures are an excellent source of information. This book not only covers older units, it covers newer technologies also. All three books in this series will find a home in my office.

I work as a Plumbing Pro at a home center, and purchased this book to help me field HVAC questions from customers. For anyone attempting to do their own work on heating applications, I'd highly recommend it. Because I live in Alaska, I can't comment on the Air Conditioning element, but would assume that information is just as useful.

This is book one, of a three book series (or volumes).Although at first, I didn't know which book to get, so just get all three. There's plenty of good info in all three making it worth while and they're not overly priced. (Material is pretty much spread across all three volumes.)One reviewer stated it's "Old Info", but has the HVAC manufacturers done anything newer these days not requiring you to know anything within these books? And, if a HVAC manufacturer does have some newer product with bells & whistles (ie. power venter), they usually package an instruction manual including codes and advisories.The books go into a little more detail then I really need for installing a boiler in my house. So they're pretty good. The only thing the books omit, construction of a utilidor or similar access way (ie. 4 inch ABS with PEX pipes).Your other option, buying some $100-500 textbook(s).Remember, safety first.

Carrier Achieves Breakthrough with Industry's Highest Efficiency and Quietest ...

May 22, 2012 | When combined with an Infinity® control, the modulating gas valve in the Infinity 98 furnace can adjust heating output up and down through multiple stages in one-percent increments from 40 up to 100 percent of capacity to more accurately match... "The Infinity 98 fully modulating gas furnace, in the 60,000 Btuh, 5-ton size, is the most efficient gas furnace a consumer can buy with an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of 98. 5-ton size, a 100,000 Btuh model in the 5-ton size and a 120,000 Btuh model in the 5. This is a tremendous accomplishment in the efficiency level and cost savings associated with gas furnaces, especially when standard furnaces typically waste 20 cents or more per dollar spent on heating costs. Instead of blasting a home with heat in a perpetual "on"/ "off" cycle, Infinity gas furnaces with Greenspeed intelligence operate at a gentle, low capacity up to 90 percent of the time. Unveiled in the fall of 2011, the initial launch of the Infinity gas furnace... Read more »

Questions & Answers

Furnace not heating after shut down for 2 months - equipped with auto igniter?

Nov 21, 2006 by Nitin A

My heating furnace is not heating. I was out of town for 2 months and have shut down the electric and gas supply to the unit. Now when I am back the heating is not working. The fan on ON position works. When I tried the connecting the red and white wire behind the thermostat, the heating system does a noise but does not heat. It is equipped with automatic ignitor. I think it is some small issue that I am not able to find out.
Or it could be the thermostat itself, I have changed the battries in thermostat it seems to be working fine now.
Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
**UPDATE** - I have found the problem. The draft inducer motor making the noise and it is not really moving. The draft motor is rotating very slowly. So I just added some cooking oil and then it STARTED working. The ignitor worked and so are the burners. BUT it worked for only 2-3 minutes, then again the motor started inducer moving very slowly, I then again olied and it worked.
BUT after oiling the metal rod at the back of the draft inducer motor it only works for 2-3 minutes and then becomes very slow thus stopping the burner and ignitor.

Is it just I need better oil and need to oil the fan rod more or there is something else wrong with my draft motor.

Were red and white connected to r&w?The wire color doesn,t matterit is what termials they are connected to.I suggest you get an inspectio/maintenance on your furnace.

can you add deep fry oil to burn in heating furnace?

Jun 18, 2008 by cristalprincess11

I WAS WONDERING IF IT MATTERED WHAT TYPE OF OIL CAN BE ADDED INTO THE HEATING FURNACE. CAN I USE FRENCH FRY OIL?
CURIOUS...

BY THE WAY I HAVE A BECKET BURNER.

Not without cleaning the deep fry oil of small particles. The burner has very fine jets which spray the oil into the combustion chamber. Any "crud" in the fry oil will stop of the jets and cut off the flow of oil.

In addition, the fry oil may burn hotter or more explosively than the kerosene or No. 2 heating oil. That would heat the chamber up too much, creating stress on the furnace, and causing problems.
