If your furnace doesn’t have a standing pilot light, then it has an electronic ignition. Furnaces have two types of electronic ignition — glow plugs or an electronic spark. In some cases this type of ignition may create a spark to light a pilot and then behave like a standing pilot furnace as talked about above. But for the most part, they behave a...
The combustion air blower, also known as an induced draft motor, has three functions. First, it purges or clears any residual gasses and/or by products out of the combustion chamber. Second, it continues to blow through to the flue to assist in the natural draft of the burned gas by-products. Third, it provides combustional air to the burners. The ...
For the most part the blower assembly contains four parts — the blower wheel & it’s housing, the blower motor, the fan capacitor and the temperature control switches.
