    No, the coil is just on the wrong end.

    I was thinking that the down flow unit was installed up side down.

    The furnace has to be upside down... Look at the writing on the labels on the blower door cover (its not aligned on the left like you would expect), and look at the energy guide on the side of the furnace. Also, I don't believe the flue was designed to be ran that way...

    It is a multiposition furnace, upflow, downflow, horizontal right, and horizontal left. The vent pipe, while annoying, is run "correctly". There is a full cover for the front of the furnace that has appropriate knockouts for the vent pipe.

    Actually, you can install those furnaces upside down, as per the manual.
    I've done it once.
    Mine didn't look like that though....

    There was a time when Lennox made counter flow furnaces with stainless exchangers and that application was acceptable. But that ain't one of em.
    If you really know how it works, you have an execellent chance of fixin' er up!

    Tomorrow is promised to no one...
