Hello all,
I recently purchased a VF100 and will be using it as my primary heat source in my house. I currently have a LP furnace with an electric Plenum heater installed that can be used as backup or main heat source. This past winter I used only the electric heater and it worked fine to keep the house heated.
So moving on I want to remove the LP furnace and replace it with the VF, while keeping the electric plenum heater as back up for if we leave for an extended amount of time.
So I was wondering if anyone else had done this? I have been doing some looking about installing the heater and one of the things that worries me this that I've read that with some the furnace can't be putting out more than 180 degree into the plenum. I'm thinking the VF will probably be doing more than that. I know I can adjust the high limit down to that, but in the event of a power outage and the furnace is gravity feeding I think the temperature will exceed that.
Any insight would be appreciated!
