Furnace air filters
So what exactly is a furnace? Down here we have a heater option on our air conditioners, but I suspect you mean something seperate. I'm familiar with big indstrial furnaces, but it's hard to imagine something like that in a house.
I've lived in cold climates before, but we always had a wood-burning stove to heat the place. I'm not really familiar with this furnace doo-dad and am curious.

There's an air conditioning unit outside the house. The furnace is inside and is attached to the fan or whatever it is that moves the air. There are electric furnaces, and I think propane, but mine happens to be natural gas.TPRJones wrote:Hmmm, so why have a seperate unit? Or do you not have air conditioning?GORDON wrote:Same thing. Forced air with a heater on it. Air filter to filter the air before it gets heated.

I just rebuilt my furnace today. Cleaned the chimney. Replaced firebrick. etc. Match, so sticks for kindling furnace works again. Suppose to freeze. End of our gardens unless the warmth of lake erie saves us.TPRJones wrote:I've lived in cold climates before, but we always had a wood-burning stove to heat the place.

So. . . your AC compressor is inside or outside the house? The fan that forces the air through the house is inside the house or outside? The part that heats the air in the winter is inside or outside your house?
Our AC compressor is outside. Blows the hot air out into the back yard. The radiator is inside with the fan that forces the cold air through the house. That same fan blows warm air through the house in the winter. The part that heats the air is inside the house and is built in with the fan that forces the air.
How in the world do you do these things, if not like that?
I can only imagine that we are all using the same system. Except, up here, we say we have a furnace with an AC option attached.

The air conditioner is a two-part unit, the first part being the compressor outside the house. The second is inside the house built into a wall somewhere and contains a fan to push air through the duct system and a coil that cools that air on the way. There's also a small heating element in it that almost never gets used.
It's not some big separate thing, though, lurking in the basement. And it doesn't require someone to shovel in coal, or provide it with various explosive gasses. That's just weird.

According to my extensive research, this is a typical example of these furnaces:

Our cooling coils are attached to our furnaces. This makes things easier because it can use the same ductwork as the furnace.TPRJones wrote: The second is inside the house built into a wall somewhere and contains a fan to push air through the duct system and a coil that cools that air on the way.
