Just had the blower motor replaced on our York furnace this morning.

How many degrees per hour is a usual rate of temperature rise for gas
forced-air furnace?


* 2(+/-) F/hr unless _WAY_ oversized would be pretty typical....you're
about right sounds like.

A minor quibble: 20 degrees in 7 hours is (much closer to) 3 degrees
per hour. -- H
