Abstract
|
This Measure Guideline covers installation of high efficiency gas furnaces. Topics include: when to install a high efficiency gas furnace as a retrofit measure; how to identify and address risks; and the steps to be used in the selection and installation process. The guideline is written for Building America practitioners and HVAC contractors and installers. It includes a compilation of information provided by manufacturers, researchers, and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), as well as recent research results from the Partnership for Advanced Residential Retrofit (PARR) Building America team. Content that can be shared with homeowners is written in a way that can be understood by that audience.
