You should not need a booster fan on a furnace. If the duct system is properly designed there will be no need for the booster fan. If the system is not designed properly, you would be better off replacing it with a properly designed system.

Actually, this doesn't answer the question. There is no way to know if he/she needs a booster fan without looking at the system. You can get very clear directions with photos at the following site: http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/he_heating_cooling_systems/article/0,,DIY_13894_2274829,00.htm

How FD and ID fan control the air flow?

FD or Forced Draft Fans supply combustion air to the boiler. Different combustion controls demand a supply of combustion air in different ways but what they have in common they control the FD fan to provide enough air for complete combustion in the boiler furnace. In most systems in use today the ID or Induced Draft fan sucks the products of combustion from the boiler furnace, through the various passes of the boiler and pushes it out the chimney. How much or how fast this fan works is based on furnace pressure. The ID fan control set point is based on combustion side furnace pressure. If the furnace pressure goes up the ID fan removes more air to lower the pressure. As the furnace pressure goes down the ID fan removes less air. This air flow out of the boiler is referred to as draft. Both the FD and ID can be controlled by various means. The air flow can be restricted in the plenum or ducts by dampers or louvers or the speed of the fan can be changed by mechanical means from a fixed speed driver. Also the speed of the fan can be changed by the use of a variable steam turbine or an electric motor with VFD (Variable Frequency Drive)


How do you install a furnace in a house with a crawl space?

To install a furnace in a house with a crawl space, follow these steps: Assess the Crawl Space: Before installing the furnace, inspect the crawl space for any signs of moisture or damage. Ensure proper ventilation by checking and, if necessary, installing crawl space vents to promote airflow and prevent moisture buildup. Prepare the Area: Clear the crawl space of any debris or obstacles to create a suitable workspace for installation. Ensure there is adequate space for the furnace unit and access for maintenance. Install Ductwork: If the house doesn't already have ductwork in the crawl space, install it to connect the furnace to the rest of the HVAC system. Seal all duct joints properly to prevent air leaks. Position the Furnace: Choose a suitable location for the furnace within the crawl space, considering factors such as accessibility, clearance requirements, and proximity to existing ductwork. Secure the Furnace: Once the furnace is in position, securely mount it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure it is level and stable to prevent any movement or vibration during operation. Connect Utilities: Connect the furnace to the power supply and fuel source, whether it's gas, oil, or electricity. Follow local building codes and safety guidelines when making these connections. Test and Commission: After installation, test the furnace to ensure it functions correctly. Check for any leaks, unusual noises, or malfunctions. Once everything is in working order, commission the furnace for regular use. By following these steps and ensuring proper ventilation with crawl space vents, you can successfully install a furnace in a house with a crawl space while maintaining a safe and efficient HVAC system.


What do you do when a rubber ball with lights falls down the vent to the furness?

If it made it all the way to the furnace, doubtful, it should be laying in the bottom of the furnace. There is a filter to catch dirt which would keep it from getting into the fan.


How do solve problem of furnace condensation line from freezing up outside our building andthis causes our furnace to stop?

It is generally (pretty much always) a no no to run a furnace condensate line to the outdoors, there is no avoiding this freezing up and stopping your furnace short of wrapping it with electric heat tape, which would be a bandaid at best and no more cheaper than correcting it. If the furnace is running condensate outside, I have to assume there is no drain near by. The best solution is to install a condensate pump, which the furnace and AC can drain into, and it then pumps to a different location indoors, like a laundry stack, or if you must, tap into a drain pipe with the proper fittings. If this is above your skill level, it would not be a bank buster to call a good contractor and have done. The pumps are about $60 in my area, and you can figure 1/2 hr to 3/4 hour to install by a contractor.
