IMPORTANT INFORMATION FIGURE 3
ABOUT EFFICIENCY AND MIGRATION OF DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES, FUMES, AND ODORS INTO LIVING SPACES

INDOOR AIR QUALITY


Central cooling and heating equipment
is only as efficient as the duct system
that carries the cooled or heated air. To
maintain efficiency, comfort and good
indoor air quality, it is important to have
the proper balance between the air
supplied to each room and the air
returning to the cooling and heating
equipment.
Proper balance and sealing of the duct
system improves the efficiency of the
heating and air conditioning system
and improves the indoor air quality of
the home by reducing the amount of
airborne pollutants that enter homes
from spaces where the ductwork and /
or equipment is located. The
matches what is required for the
manufacturer and the U.S. NOTICE job specification.
Environmental Protection Agency’s IMPROPER INSTALLATION, OR

the heat exchanger. See Figure 49.
2. Insert a thermometer in the return
air duct as close to the furnace as
possible.
3. Operate the furnace. High fire and
low fire heating modes have the
same temperature rise range.
4. When the thermometer in the
supply air duct stops rising
(approximately five minutes),
subtract the return air temperature
from the supply air temperature.
The difference is the temperature
rise.
5. Compare the measured
temperature rise to the approved
temperature rise range listed on the
furnace name plate. See Figure 50.
If the measured temperature rise is
above the approved range, the air flow
is too low. More air must be moved by
speeding up the blower, by removing
restrictions in the duct system, or by
adding more supply or return air duct. If
the measured temperature rise is below
the approved range, the air flow is too
much. Use lower speed tap on the multi-
speed blower.
