8 PART G - TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM
Heating inefficient during the first
combustions. Lack of draft.
Furnace burns well, warm air
plenum is very hot but there is not
much heat coming out in the
room.
Furnace consumes a lot of wood.
Fan start-up is too slow.
A lot of creosote, moderate heat
output.
Furnace heats a lot but the warm
air plenum does not get hot.
FOR, INSTALLATION OF A CENTRAL HEATING VENTILATION SYSTEM,
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO CONSULT A HEATING SYSTEM
N.B.: STOVE BUILDER INTERNATIONAL INC. IS NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR POOR APPLIANCE PERFORMANCES,
CAUSES
Improper adjustment of the
barometric damper (opened too
wide). Chimney flue restriction
o
(too long. 90 elbows)
Improper installation of the ducts,
low static pressure, unbalanced
system (too many warm air
outlets and not enough cold air
inlets).
The thermostat which controls the
damper is continuously activated
or is too close to a source of cold
air. Damper not properly
adjusted. House not insulated
enough. Ash drawer is not tightly
closed. Furnace too small for the
surface to be heated. Unbalanced
ventilation system, very little heat
where the thermostat is located.
Fan "ON" setting too high. Return
air is too cold (temperatures lower
than 65 degrees). Limit control
not well located on the furnace.
Wet wood, lack of draft.
Barometric damper not properly
adjusted. Sooted up chimney.
Wet wood or low grade wood. No
static pressure. Unbalanced
ventilation system.
IMPORTANT NOTE
VENTILATION SPECIALIST.
DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION.

SOLUTIONS
Adjust the damper, minimize the
smoke pipe length and use 45
elbows.
Rearrange the ducting to respect
the minimum static pressure of
0.20 in. w.c.
Relocate the thermostat. Adjust
the chain that links the damper to
the servomotor. Rebalance the
ventilation system in order to
increase the air flow in the room
where the thermostat is located.
Lower the temperature starting
point. Usually, the limit control is
set at 150 degrees, we can under
certain conditions, reduce this
temperature. Reduce the fresh air
flow. Relocate the limit control.
Use dry wood. Adjust the
barometric damper. Clean the
chimney, flue pipe and the
furnace exchangers.
Use dry wood. Rearrange the
ventilation system correctly.
