POS furnace - what is "POS" ? (old furnace lingo)
 

Some HVAC guys use the term "POS" when referring to (I think) old NG
furnaces with exposed burners and continuously-lit pilot lights.

I think the acronym has something to do with the pilot light, but I'm
not sure.

Anyone know what the "POS" acronym stands for?

If it were not for Google Groups access, how would people learn from their
betters which end of a nail to hit? For example:

(Actual question we'll see someday)

"I just bought a compressed-air palm nailer. But it seems if I hold it like
I'm supposed to, it would hurt the back of my hand when I use a hammer? My
mother always told me "If it hurts, you're doing it wrong." Was my mom
mistaken?"

Actually, I wasn't defending children, I was merely insulting the
previous poster, another of the idiots who thinks newsgroups are google
forums.

Piece of ****.

I think the reason the "pros" don't like those old furnaces is that while
they might not be "efficient" they run "forever." The replacement parts
are dirt cheap and the furnaces often go 10 to 20 years without requiring
service.

The "new" stuff (variable speed blowers, electronic ignition control, etc.)
often has a failure requiring a service call every few years.
