A guy at work has one and swears by it. I looked online and they use similar to an automotive spark plug to combust propane or natural gas in a chamber so they dont have an open flame like a traditional furnace. From what I see they come with mufflers to quiet the noise they make. They are rated at 96% efficiency but for some reason they dont make them anymore. WAY ahead of their time in the early 80s when they first came out.
My furnace I have which Im trying to keep from running when I can has no manufacturers name, no model number, BTU rating. Nothing. Just a schematic of the wiring. It puts out at its hottest 100 degree F heat at the registers, and at one point a few years ago a couple times when it kicked on drew such a load that the lights in the house got dim. What that was all about I have no idea. I dont know whats going on. If my heat exchanger is messed up, or what. I have no clue even to the efficiency rating of it. In the middle of winter with no supplemental heat it will run for 15 or 20 minutes, go off, and start back up i n less than five. Its costed me over $400 in one month before to heat my house with propane.
Is there anything I can do to see what efficiency it is or if anything is wrong with it? I wouldnt mind getting a new furnace but dont have the money right now. I hear goodmans are good and very reasonably priced too. Otherwise if I could find a used Lennox pulse for cheap in good working order, maybe I could get one of those
