I have a Quadrafire 2700i wood insert, installed April 2013 that does great to heat my house. To improve heat distribution in the house, I would like to run my propane/central air unit in cooling mode to utilize the programmable tstat. The idea is to have the furnace fan only turn on once a set temperature is reached in the house. Once the house cools down again, it would turn off.
So, to get the fan only to run in this manor, I turned off the A/C unit breaker, and disconnected the yellow wire inside the tstat. This keeps the a/c from running.
Has anyone else done this? Will it harm my furnace and/or A/C condenser unit at all? I have no power going to the A/C unit at all. It is a simple way to utilize what I have without buying a tstat with a programmable fan mode, as long as it wont hurt any of my other components and i dont have to run my furnace fan 24/7.
thanks.
