AboutBill Brainard Expertise I can solve most heating related problems with furnaces and air conditioners(natural gas,propane, electric)(no oil or heat pumps) & some boilers and most control problems. Iam a heating & air cond contractor with 30 some years behind me. I spent 12 years working for Sears doing this type of work.
Experience I have graduated from 10 or 12 factory schools on gas furnaces ( 70%, 80%, 90%+ AFUE), basic air conditioning, air conditioning service, advanced air conditioning, oil furnaces, wall furnaces, floor furnaces, air handlers, coils, compressors, multi-speed (1 speed to 12 speed) furnaces, mobile home furnaces and air conditioners etc...
Question How do I turn on the blower to my forced air unit (Rheem) with out the heat
running? When I turn the fan on on my thermostat nothing happens. This would
also be a helpful feature to circulating upstairs air from our wood stove in the
winter as well.
Answer Rheem made a lot of different furnaces. What is your model # and how old is it. Give me the serial #...... BUT! Lets try the simple way first. Take the cover off your T-stat and tell me how many wires there are and their colors. Do you feel capable enough to pull 2 more wires from the furnace to the T-stat?? What T-stat do you have (model #)? Get back to me.
