The components and operation of a gas-powered forced-air furnace, a common heating system in residential homes.


Air from the home is drawn through the return registers and ducts by the blower motor, passing through a filter to remove dust and debris. The filtered air then enters the combustion chamber, where gas burners heat the air via the heat exchanger.


Warm air is distributed through supply ducts and registers to the rooms. The exhaust stack safely vents combustion gases outside, while the draft hood regulates air pressure to ensure efficient operation. A damper handle in the supply duct helps control airflow.


Key safety features include the gas shutoff valve and flame sensor or electronic igniter, which ensure safe and efficient combustion. This system combines reliable heating with proper airflow management, creating a comfortable and energy-efficient indoor environment. Regular maintenance of the filter, blower, and burners ensures optimal performance and longevity.
