Diy gas furnace replacement.

Most furnace units will already have a gas line run so making sure the connections are secure and there are no leaks will be one of the main safety concern. The other for distributing it. Remove the door on the front of the furnace cabinet to give you access to the blower it might be on a slide out drawer check the number stamped on the belt and get an exact replacement from a home center or heating supply outlet. To get at the back of the burners tape a 20 in.

The main issue will be safety for not only installing a furnace but mainly when dealing with a gas line and exhaust of the furnace. The second major safety concern would be ventilation. Turn off the power switch again and shut off the gas by giving the valve one quarter turn. Drain line to your vacuum hose.

Vacuum the furnace burners and the furnace base. Furnaces consist of two main operating systems. One for generating heat. First turn off all power to the unit and turn off the gas at the gas valve that serves the furnace.

Vacuum everywhere you see dust. If you are replacing an existing furnace you just need to carefully extract the old furnace from the big metal boxes then seal the new unit to the same boxes. In a hot air system a blower forces air through ducts that open into each room.
