Step-by-Step: Gas Furnace Propane Conversion Kit

[@LaughLiveLove563]

There is so much that goes into this trade . Thank you for these videos . Helps me sharpen up .

[@TaddyDigest]

My pleasure!

[@richardwolske2015]

Your honest, blowing the doors off and admitting it is a real way to make that point 👍

[@TaddyDigest]

Absolutely

[@andreeriner811]

Awesome vidio, I’ve done hvac for many years but hardly get a gas furnace to work on. I like to watch these videos to try to stay up on these things. Thanks again.

[@TaddyDigest]

You're welcome man thank you so much for watching Please share the videos when you can

[@paulmanzone8373]

Great video, 26 years in the field on the install side, all those parts used to confuse me but after watching your video i feel confident and doing conversion . Just moved from California to Indiana, not much need for conversion in CA but finding it's a good thing to know here in Indiana Thanks man!

[@TaddyDigest]

Glad it helped Thank you for watching my friend. Please share the video when you can

[@paulmanzone8373]

@@TaddyDigest I have a question, can you use a 3 ton fau with a 2 ton condenser and coil? I live in Indiana and trying to help a friend, he has condenser and very old fau , he wants to buy new furnace and I want to get more air flow because his ducts are all screwed up and in the floor so can't really change them to correctly size everything. Trying hard to accommodate this but worried about enough air Thanks for your help!

[@TaddyDigest]

no, I would go bigger with fan but not smaller

[@paulmanzone8373]

@@TaddyDigest That's what I thought, wanted to confirm, thank you

Gracias my friend I done this One time and I struggled This video is going to help me thank you

You can do it!

Interesting on the orifice size. With my propane fired Rheem furnace, a couple years ago I noticed on the very cold days that the furnace was having trouble heating up the house sufficiently. All burners would light up, everything appeared normal, but the house was cold and the furnace was running constantly. Well, had a tech check it out and even he was a bit perplexed. Finally, he checked the orifices for the burners and noticed they were all somewhat gunked up!! Replaced them and the furnace finally started heating up the house like normal again. I'm guessing those very small openings in the orifices for LP gas is why they probably gunk up easier than the larger openings for natural gas?? I'd never heard of this happening to anyone who has natural gas for fuel.

Waiting for the premier my brother! 😊

[@millenialmemoirs]

We install a lot of 90% furnaces in crawlspaces in upstate South Carolina. It can be problematic with condensate pumps freezing right out the outlet.

[@meangreen2792]

Great Video. Thanks for showing the ins and outs. 💯. Keep them coming.

[@TaddyDigest]

Thank you for watching brother appreciate you

[@TheSoloDIYer]

Excellent tutorial! Eases my mind making the switch myself

[@Jw_717]

Thanks! What I learned was that I'm calling my buddy who is a professional to do this part... 😂

[@GuruBrew]

Thanks for video, how would you toggle between hi and low fire to check pressures if you have a duel stage unit with the two valves and springes

[@TaddyDigest]

What brand is? It, it must be a commercial unit if it has 2 valves. I would just go from one valve to the other

[@americo197]

you are a great technician .

[@mikestanescu3661]

You are a great teacher thank you

[@HighIntensityFitness]

great video ive done a bunch of servicing on these type of furnaces single stage, 2 stage and mod in the Gta (Greater toronto area) today I went up north to a propane furnace and noticed all my safeties shut and the HSI Lit up and I got my 24 volts to my gas valve opening it. I assumed it was a bad gas valve I changed the gas valve and re used the springs Im getting 11-12 w.c in but out with the set screw all the way clockwise only getting 6.5 w.c this is a 2 stage. Burners don't light i'm assuming its either a spring issue or the orfice or burners are dirty. Im going back tomorrow with a conversion kit also to confirm its the right spring and orfices to me it looked like the orfice was a natural gas orfice and the spring ill have to make sure its the right spring for propane i just assumed it was already set and swapped springs.

[@ramoncaraballo9097]

Great job!!!!

When Hank Hill says "propane and propane accessories" this is what he means.

[@masterpopeyoda3290]

Butane is bastards gas

[@GuruBrew]

It's a goodman. So just jumper the m to the hi?

[@TaddyDigest]

not sure check install manual maybe

[@fgbw11]

Thx. A great vedio for DIY from concept to completion.

[@TaddyDigest]

Glad you liked it

[@clarksworkshop]

Awesome work!

Thanks for watching brother!

[@danielleholmberg8484]

Appreciate what you do. Learned a lot from your channel!

[@TaddyDigest]

Very glad to hear this thank you so much for telling me.

[@ThomasWalker-m2y]

You have a flex line running through the furnace cabinet. That not allowed in most places , it can run to buy not through the cabinet. It can get cut. It needs hard pipe.

[@TaddyDigest]

I agree

[@khoatran9560]

It’s code in all of the US, it can be used outside or inside appliances but NOT thru. So in earthquake areas it’s a must per code.

[@murrayjonasson]

Thank you so much, that really helped me out.

[@TaddyDigest]

You're welcome!

[@luisvenegas9896]

Wasn’t clear on the pressure switch do you have to change it out too when changing to propane?

[@PhillipFrischman-vo8gm]

Thanks for all ..that was so important...great job 😅

[@TaddyDigest]

You're welcome!

[@philaskiphil9487]

wow excellent job !

I appreciate it, thanks for watching!

[@beemikeme]

Very good explanation!

[@TaddyDigest]

Thank you so much

[@kevinpearce3281]

Hey tad. Should I be checking my furnace installs. Or just assume there set properly. I don’t have a manometer

[@TaddyDigest]

You really need to check the gas pressure on every one of your installs. I would definitely invest in the right tool

[@1991syna]

Is there a reason why you installed p trap on a natural gas? thank you for making great videos always learned from them.

[@JuanMonoz-o1j]

Good video 👍

[@geovanygarcia8566]

How do I check for low pressure? Where would I hook the hose to?

[@TaddyDigest]

Converting a Rheem. There is no low pressure switch in the kit. Pulling out a Payne, there is no low pressure switch on this unit as well

Blew the doors off the unit , oh my lord,lol

[@chrissipple1018]

At the beginning of this video you were talking about orifice size. With any fluid flow you are dealing with Bernoulli's Therm. If a fluid like gas or propane flows through an orifice the small the hole the less the pressure and the greater the velocity. Just some useless information.
