We'll I got the model number and a compressor nis gonna be about $800. Doesn't seem worth it. I'm gonna try and call the LP company and see what they can offer.
Yes natural gas furnaces can be converted to LP just have to have your orifices changed out.Can traditional gas furnaces be converted into propane?
My father in law has a whole system that got removed from a house but it's gas.
Most house gas furnaces can, easy enough just by changing the orifices...….
How to Convert Gas Appliance Spuds or Orifices from LP to Natural Gas or from Natural Gas to Propane
Actually "it's not" that easy. If a burner is old enough, you won't be able to get the orifices, and you also have to change the spring in the gas valve, and again if the valve is old enough, you won't get that, either.
If that is the case, the furnace is old enough for me not to use it.....why would someone install a 20+ year old furnace, without checking it out first?
Use jet fuel....burns hot with zero fumesoh ya,I have another shop that's not well insulated and those torpedo heaters work really nicely if the fumes don't bother you.I don't have a problem with them,but a lot of people cant handle the fumes.
Not true. I get instantly ill from jet fuel exhaust.Use jet fuel....burns hot with zero fumes
Forced oil furnace is what I've been looking at. You can get them almost free used in working condition from people doing natural gas furnace upgrades. Then have an hvac shop bend up some ducting that comes off the unit and has two directional arms that blow heat. A 250 gallon tank outside, a small exhaust vent and done. The HVAC guy I talked to about it said its probably the most efficient and affordable option for a shop. Said $500 would get all the filter ducting and heat discharge tubes built.
