How To Install a Gas Furnace - Complete Process

Thank you for advocating for heat load calculations. They are important!

This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. youtube.com/post/Ugkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B… The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).

Check out the tagged furnace options! If you doing a DIY furnace install I would highly recommend purchasing a furnace from Mr Cool. They offer a full warranty even for DIYers. I linked to all of the common furnace sizes as well as the LP conversion kit that you'll be needing. For other tools & supplies I recommend you can check out my Amazon page here: www.amazon.com/shop/benjaminsahlstrom Good luck on your installation!!!

Been in the hvac biz. for 24 years. I like the furnace base your brother fabricated. need to patent that and sell to hvac supply houses. Seen someone make a Ton of Money by coming up with the clear P trap.

That shower reminds me of the house I grew up in!

I have a house that from 1948 to 2012 had a section of copper pipe used for natural gas. I did not know until I helped my plumber repipe my gas line under my house. We sized the correct black pipe for the number of gas appliances. Thank you again for your interesting videos..

Holy crap. What a massive job altogether.

Good review. I love the shower set up in there.

As always, a great job.

Thanks, it grest!

Appreciate your documentation fellas, lots of little details that will help me immensely.

Very interesting. Thanks for your time.

One thing you didn't talk about is setting the cooling blower speed properly for the size of a/c installed. Most of these furnaces ship with it set to high, for a 2.5 to 3 ton. But in a northern climate a 60000 btu may be matched with a 1.5 or 2 ton, necessitating cutting the speed down to get proper dehumidification.

Great video, tons of really useful and interesting info! Thank you both

thanks so much! yall helped me get my furnace together. much appreciated..

Who else saw that NASTY A-Coil at 5:46 and wanted to shout at Benjamin that he needs to deal with it?.
