Gas furnace question
I'm looking to replace an old oil furnace on a rural property with a
propane furnace. I intend to do it myself. Since the property is just a hunting cottage I am not looking to spend a lot. I am actually looking for a used furnace if I can get one. My question is whether gas furnaces are specifically made for natural gas or propane, or are they all the same and just need a different orfice(s) intalled to match the type of gas used? Anyone know? Thanks Jimw |

Thanks Jimw I bought a new one and watched as the tech did a changeover to propane. While some may be shipped with the changeover already installed, they are essentially the same unit. Too bad I didn't know you a couple of years ago, I had 2 complete propane furnaces I scrapped out, one was in really good shape, I just couldn't imagine much of a market for them. I'd have gladly have given them away. |

And you go to the other orifice in the morning. "Honey, I'll
be at the orifice, if anyone needs me". Double entendre intentional. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "The Daring Dufas" wrote in message ... Stormin Mormon wrote: Usually different orifices. You breath through one and you...... Never mind. TDD |
