A Rheem 90 to American Standard
My customer was done with her Rheem imperial 90% gas furnace , the age and condition of the furnace simply did not justify the amount of money she was about to put in to it for repairs.
Rheem 90 to American Standard
Like I have said in many past posts “I love replacing Rheem furnaces” and here is another opportunity to do just that.
Single Stage American Standard 95% gas furnace
The new American Standard 95% single stage gas furnace has the exact same foot print as the Rheem furnace, but is a little shorter. All that was needed was a simple transition to adapt to the existing return ducting and it slipped right in to place. Because the existing Rheem furnace was an high efficient model we where able to reuse the existing PVC venting and condensate line.
We also converted the Honeywell electronic air cleaner to a 4″ pleated air filter bank so she did not have to worry about washing her cells every 3 months.

York to American Standard
Once in awhile I come across a furnace that my previous company installed … and very rarely one that I actually installed. This particular furnace was installed by my previous company that I co-owned back in 1996.
York 80% gas furnace.
After going over all the options and the paybacks on the American Standard equipment my customer decided to just swap back to an 80% gas furnace. I would have to agree .. sometimes the paybacks are just not there.
American Standard 80% Gas Furnace
I had to do some small transition work to adapt the new furnace to the existing base can and a few more transitions to adapt the new Honeywell F100 air cleaner to the existing return ducting. Other than that everything connected right back to the new furnace.

RHEEM oil to Coleman
I know what your thinking … why are we installing a Coleman furnace when I am An American Standard dealer? Well in this case we have a landlord/tenant situation where the landlord is under a budget and the Coleman line offers some really low end models just for this situation. So here we go, RHEEM oil to Coleman.
Rheem Oil Furnace
This older RHEEM is nothing but a huge waste of money … and the landlord doesn’t want his new tenants to have to be stuck with an oil furnace and its fuel costs. Never mind of the constant smell to remind you that you do have an oil furnace.
New Coleman 90% gas furnace
There are a few things I do not like about the Coleman/York furnace(s), and I do express those concerns when quoting them … but in this case it worked out great. As you can see the existing system needed a few modifications as well as new venting, gas piping and a new condensate drain. We also added a Honeywell F100 4″ pleated air filter to the system.

Spend Money to Save Money
The 2 Payne 90% LP furnaces were getting more and more costly to repair and maintain. My customer decided it was better to replace them than to have constant repair bills. Based on the condition on these 2 furnaces, I had to agree.
Payne 90% LP Furnaces
Uplflow Vs. Downflow
It’s not very often in a residential application I get to show a side by side comparison between an upflow and downflow furnace.The furnace on the left is an downflow and the one on the right is an upflow. You can tell by the way the ducting is routed.
American Standard LP Furnaces 95%
Honeywell F100 Filters for the Win
The 2 new American Standard 95% LP furnaces where fairly easy to install with some duct alterations mainly to the upflow furnace. You can see the 2 new Honeywell F100 filter banks installed on the intakes of the furnaces. Adding the F100 filters really improves indoor air quality in the home. These systems gives the customer the option of converting them over to electronic at a later date if need be.

My new customer was referred to Alpine by several sources … referrals is properly 90% of our business, its nice to know quality still pays off in such slow times.
Older York 80% Gas Furnace.
As you can see the existing York 80% furnace sits on a base can located in the garage. The weird part of the existing system was that the sheet rock came all the way down to the top of the furnace. It made for a little uncertainty when bidding but realistically you can pretty much tell how the ducting ran.
American Standard 95% Variable 2 Stage with Filter
After removing the existing furnace and part of the base can we cut the sheet rock up to allow for the new American Standard 95% 2 stage variable speed furnace, heat pump coil and Honeywell 4″ filter bank. By adding a heat pump coil at this point and time it allows my customer to add on a heat pump or AC at a later date without making major modifications to the existing ducting.

Another 30 year old furnace that should have been replaced 10 years ago, it took a home inspector and a new home owner to get this monster replaced.
Old 80% Ruud furnace
As you can see the Ruud furnace was tucked away in a closet, the combustion air was pulled through louver doors from with in the home. This is very typical in older homes.
The new American Standard 95% 2 stage variable speed furnace
The American Standard 95% 2 stage variable speed furnace slipped right into place. Because the home owner wanted a better filter system (Honeywell 4″ filter bank) I had to make a slight transition to adapt to the existing supply ducting.
Sun-Pure UV light
A new Sun-Pure photo catalytic ultraviolet disinfection light was added because one of the family members was suffering from allergies. Sun-Pure in my opinion and my customers is a very good product that really does what they say it does.
By running the optional 2nd PVC pipe out (combustion air) we eliminated the need for the louver door, so the customer if need be can replace the louver door with a solid door.

Many years ago I install tons of Lennox Pulse furnaces, and I absolutely hated them. Not only were extremely heavy, they were extremely loud. The very first thing out of the customers mouth was “wow this furnace is noisy”.
Lennox Pulse Furnace
The nice thing about Lennox pulse furnaces is replacing them. The American Standard 95% Variable 2-Stage is a little shorter making it easier to retro fit in … and the American Standard is VERY quiet compared to the Lennox.
New 95% 2 Stage Variable American Standard
As you can tell the American Standard 95% 2 stage variable fit right into place with a few minor duct changes. Because our customer was complaining about a musty smell in their home as well as concerns over filtration we installed a F300 Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaner as well as a Sun-Pure UV light system. I also added a low wall return duct to help pull cold air off the floor.
