Pulse Type Gas Forced Hot Air Heating Furnaces ?

Pulse? wasnt that Lennox`s lemon? Are they still made? Consumer reports just put out a 7 year survey in the Feb issue on reliability. American Standard was the top brand. Goodman the bottom.

In the long run, you are probably better off to stay with a brand name with parts availability and knowledgeable repair people.

When I bought my first house, I noticed what sounded like a car idling at night and thought somebody was casing the neighborhood. While raking leaves, I noticed 2 PVC pipes on the side of my neighbor's house that sounded like a generator running (with PVC exhaust?). Turned out to be one of those pulse furnaces. While the noise does not really bother me next door across a double lot now that I know what it is, it does bother the owner of the furnace who had made various unsuccessful attempts to muffle it.

I instead enjoy good old fashioned comfortable 1-pipe steam heat.

"The Wall" a moderated group where normal polite pros answer anybodys questions about anything regarding HVAC

Alt hvac an unmoderated bunch of PJMs cronies who tell every H.O. to east s*it and in following PjM have a crap for a group

You don't hear that often, liking the steam stuff. Congratulations!

Have you ever been to the Wall?

You peeked... :)

There are still a good group of techs there if you don't mind wading through the "crap". It's only a few guys over there who bug it up. It must be their egos are too big, but with a few plonks it works out ok. I actually prefer directing the HOs to this NG. And have come here to help where I can. I believe you have to be careful when giving advice on repairing electrical and gas equipment for safety reasons.
