Diy gas furnace replacement.

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. Vacuum everywhere you see dust. In a hot air system a blower forces air through ducts that open into each room. Drain line to your vacuum hose.

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. To get at the back of the burners tape a 20 in. You can reshape or extend them as necessary. One for generating heat.

The other for distributing it. Furnaces consist of two main operating systems. First turn off all power to the unit and turn off the gas at the gas valve that serves the furnace. Turn off the power switch again and shut off the gas by giving the valve one quarter turn.

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. The second major safety concern would be ventilation. After all blowers are basically just large fans.
