Hi all! New to this site..Was searching for some options as to maybe figure out my HB stove 1557M.
First time burning wood in the house tonight. Got the furnace installed and working good except for one thing...I am not getting much air in my house through the vents. Both fans are working on the furnace and I checked all the duct dampers for each room in the house. I am getting some air in some rooms but not nearly enough as the gas furnace blower. Plus, I have 2 rooms that I am getting nothing if anything at all. Not good and not impressed.
Now, the duct work was installed into the gas furnace return correctly with one exception.. Instead of using 2-8" duct pipes, we used a "T" and made the 2 duct pipes come together in the "T" and out into one 8" pipe into the return of the gas furnace duct. I am wondering if going 2 into 1 on this wood furnace if that would be restricting air flow in the house.
Cold air return is installed and drawing nice as is everything else. If I run the gas furnace blower along with the 1557M blowers, I get great air movement but after a short period it cools down the air.
So, any suggestions, thoughts? Could I swap the two blowers for a single, larger blower and use a fan limit switch to control it?
Thanks!
