First my sewer, now my furnace (Anyone know a furnace guy that has reasonable rates & quality work)

I don't w
ant to high jack this thread, but what happens if your furnace is not in an area that allows venting out the side of the house and you want to upgrade to a 96%?

We can run it between the floor joists to the outside. If your basement is finished then you're screwed and have to either remove drywall or we run it and you box it in and then drywall.

I can run about 200ft of equivalent pipe for the "good" 90%'ers.

Any thing can be done... Its just how much $$$ you want to spend.

I had a pipe shoved down it when I had the water heater replaced.

Then I'd hope that the guys who did the water heater had the common sense to run a big enough one for the furnace and water heater combined. I'd have to imagine that they were smart enough to do that.... Unless you had some ho-hum goat herder do it, then you might be screwed.

Well in my case, my house is a ranch on a slab with no crawl space. The furnace is in an area that used to be a linen closet, so it is in the middle of the house and the only option is up into the attic. Same for water heater. Don't worry about trouble shooting for me though, I'm just curious at this point. USMC is the one we need to help.

I recently had Hghclsswhitetrsh install a Bryant 96% efficient furnace. I'm happy with the work Scott did. Install looks pretty good to my untrained eye. He took extra care to protect the floors during the install and cleaned up when he was done.

Only been in the house a few weeks so I can't comment on the energy savings but I'm happy with the performance so far.

So it would appear that I have correct input voltage into the (120 to 24 volt transformer) and no output are these things a dime a dozen found anywhere or do I need to chase one down at grainger or some other supply warehouse.

Is there a polarity necessary with the yellow leads off the transformer or does it not matter which yellow lead goes to the two locations on the board. On the input side is appears to be obvious black to black and white to white. There are no fuses on the circuit board.

I have one of these lying around if you can use it (new in an opened box):

I had the same black/white yellow/yellow one on there and this one has black/black yellow/yellow. I got a circuit board a while back with it and the circuit board ended up being the culprit so I never installed it.

Ill let you know via post here this evening, as I already have someone scrounging for one and can not get get them on the phone. Is the yellow (secondary side) polarity specific or does it not matter which lead to which port.

I have no idea... The reason I went with doing the circuit board first was because I couldn't get an answer to that question. Also, since this one has no white wire either, I didn't want to mess with it. Hopefully one of the more knowledgeable folks in this thread can answer that.

[fitterjohn]

Yes the secondary side is polarity is specific.

Put an inline fuse in also if you mess it up you'll save the transformer
