Default Re: Any HVAC guys out there?

Appreciate the help thus far. I blew out the filter-it had some stuff in it, but it wasn't horrible by any means. It appears that this is one of the newer models that doesn't have the ability to just relight.

I took a short video and posted it to youtube for reference. Around the 15 second mark is where I flipped the fan switch. The status code LED seems to be "telling" me something, but I don't know what the heck it is.

As far as priority on this, it's not a HUGE deal at the moment. This furnace heats our first story and doesn't run very much as I have it programmed only to run for maybe 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in late afternoon as it's not a primary living area at all. Outside of cooking/eating, we don't spend much time down there. Temps over the next 10 days are as low as mid-20's and I can always throw some wood in the fireplace for a bit if it gets really outrageous down there.

Part of me is really wondering if this is overkill now that I made it just a first floor only unit. It's a 135k BTU furnace and it's only used to heat about 2200 sq. ft, so in the event it's overkill, the short cycling won't do itself any favors over the long haul either. Plus an 80% furnace isn't one I'd want to sink much money into.
