Old furnace was a counterflow with 20x8 duct coming straight down for return air. Had to build a small box with custom filter rails then made transition to existing duct. Replaced old unit with VS Trane.

Another good looking job!
Was anything wrong with the old 80% since you replaced with another 80%?

how big is that venting off the new furnace? It looks huge.
Nice work though! And guessing from the clock, it must not have taken too long either.

Venting...
Venting off furnace is 4" tied into a 6-4-3 wye. The old ventig was 3" from furnace and 3" from HWH to a 6" cap that was butchered, I just had to fix thatOriginally posted by amickracing

Didn't realize the clock in the pic, guess it was a smooth install
...counterflows usually are pretty easy. Believe it or not it would have been sooner, but I was sold the wrong size furnace, had to send my guy to pick up the right one
that clock shoulda read 12:00.

Very nice install. The one thing I don't like is the 1" filter in the horizontal air stream, those suckers cake up fast, but like I said, that's the only thing. Keep up the good work.

I see a bi-fold solid door in the first picture. My question remains, where is the combustion air?

I only see one set of bi-fold doors.. So, that means the door only covers up the water heater. not the furnace.

12-17-2004, 09:47 AM #13The other door that was removed in order to work, has grills cut into them to allow for combustion air within the room. Believe me, I would not run a system without combustion air, I know very well that this is important.Originally posted by irishmist

I've removed old equipment that was stuck in a closet, with no combustion air, and running like that for 20 sumthin yrs, how...i don't know. But when I replaced it, I would inform the customer that they must have combustion air for proper flame, mark this on the invoice, and leave the door off until this was corrected, whether by replacing the doors with louvered doors or adding openings into the solid doors.
