I purchased an American Standard AC and Gas Furnace for my home.
We ran the furnace for the first time a few mornings ago to take the chill off the house.
When on heat mode the furnace blows at a very low speed for the first 20 or so minutes, then it increases the speed after 20 minutes to what I could consider normal.
It is a standard 80 percent gas furnace from their Silver line.
I was thinking about why it operates like this, when our old furnace would just blow on high and warm the house up almost instantly then shut off.
I also noticed in "Texas winter" we would get some condensation on the inside of the windows during cold snaps.
So am I correct to think that the furnace has a variable speed blower on the heat mode, and it runs a long time at a low speed to drop the room humidity, and if the temperature is not satisfied after X amount of time, it ramps up the speed of the blower?
We live in a climate where it is not uncommon to run the heat in the morning, and the AC in the afternoon.
