Gee, I wonder why there is a gas line connected to my a/c, and every time the a/c comes on, the furnace comes on also. A/c fans are electric, but the part of the a/c that removes moisture is gas powered. Moisture breeds mold, that's why the new a/c's come with a humidistat to regulate the moisture content in the house.
Ask me how I know.

How does furnace and AC work?
During warm seasons your heating system works with your central air conditioning. Air is cooled as it's blown over your air conditioning unit's cooling coil, often attached to the air circulating fan of the furnace, and then sent through the same air ducts throughout your home. The furnace isn't on (gas) just the electric fan. Last edited by CWGUY; 07-15-2019 at 03:09 PM. Reason: Should have been nicer. |

Of the ones I have seen, most are for travel trailers and are propane.

Does anyone else have their furnace fired up to cool their home? |

It does run in the winter also to heat the house and remove moisture from the air.

"It does run in the winter also to heat the house and remove moisture from the air." from post 23
I think you are a little confused. You are heating with gas and cooling with electric. It called a gas pack. There are AC units that run on gas but I don't think you would have one here, at least I never heard of one installed here. Steve |

Most houses in The Villages have a heat pump, which is all electric and is an air conditioner that can run in reverse in the winter to heat as well as cool. So, in the winter, the cooling coil becomes the heating coil. However, some houses have an air conditioner that only operates as a cooling device. But, there is a gas furnace built into the air handling unit that heats the house in the winter. Even though the gas furnace uses the same air handling fan to circulate air throughout the house, the heating and cooling functions are totally separate. The gas is not needed for cooling.

It would have been nice of the installer to explain how it operates. Mike from Chuck Farrell did that for me. Seeing as how you have a gas furnace as part of your HVAC .... I sure hope you got a check from TECO's rebate program for $500.00 made out to you.

I agree with Steve in Post #26. You probably have a gas furnace for heat and an electric AC for cooling. Those areas without gas will typically have a heat pump (an AC that can operate in reverse to generate heat).

I did get the check....pleasant surprise. The a/c people said they would either take the $500 off the final bill, or I could have the check, I opted for the check.
