I am investing in a PF100 this fall. The wife and I are tired of the rising oil prices and my Quad Castile in the basement helps offset the oil but we want something better.
My questions are:
How many of you hooked up your PF100 directly to your trunk line of your existing furnace or directly to the plenum of the existing furnace?
Is it really needed to hook up the return to your existing furnace return? or will the air in the basement it will be in OK?
What about the the damper? Do you need to put one in if one or the other furnace is off (as in the breaker is off)? Is it a matter of heat spilling into the other unit and causing damage with out a damper?
Im sure I will have other questions, and thanks in advance.
By the way I have been lurking of this forum for months and think the advice is great.
