Re: [DIY] Furnace wiring

 

*IF* it said 15A, (which indicates 14-2 min,) I would opt for 12-2.
But I ask...
Was it not a tendency for older furnaces to use motors that
had a bit of surge to them? ( If so - This may alone be a good
reason to go to 12-2. OR- if the run is a bit long...)

>Yes, a 120 volt circuit for the gas furnace is usually correct. 14 or
12-2wg is
correct wiring. Do verify on the nameplate. The outside unit circuit
is
usually 240 volts only + ground w/o a neutral for 120 volts. Also, the
outside
unit circuit is sized for that unit only.
