Default rheem furnace blower speed?


"james" wrote in message ...
I have a rheem classic super quiet 80 furnace that according to manufacturer's
literature, has adjustable air speed that a technician can adjust. Does anyone
know how I can adjust it myself?

Also, if the blower speed is lowered, wouldn't the furnace run hotter and risk
overheating? I hope there is a way to dial down the burners.

I'm not using some rooms and are closing the registers in those rooms to save
energy. This cause the other register to blow stronger, too strong in fact.

For future reference (when I need to buy a new furnace), does any furnace
maker support home owners directly? I hate to ask the installer for support
since they are not necessarily the most knowledgeable.


Contact Rheem, and get a copy of the "installation manual". It should have this
info. Some companies make it easier than others to get this manual, but if you
are persistant, you should be able to get it.
