Yes, in the many years I've done HVAC, I've done that a couple times.
Usually we like to get the supply plenum hooked up. But I do remember the
one time it was cooking hot outside. The other guy and me had just hooked up
the copper to the outside condensing unit. We had a couple feet of supply
duct hooked up. One of us thought of firing that baby up to cool the cellar.
Worked slick as could be.

Hello guys,

We're wanting to do our own funace installation. We're pretty handy but
we've never done a furnace installation before. We've got everything mapped
out and parted out and just need to order and install all the duct work.
Since it will be getting cold here over the next few weeks, we were hoping
that we could use the furnace while it's not hooked up to the duct work. In
other words, is it okay to run the furnace with no duct work going to it (be
it supply or return) just so we can create heat in the basement while we're
working? We'll have everything else hooked up correctly and permanently like
the supply air for the flame, vent pipping, gas hook up, and electrical...

Thanks!
