[VAC] Re: Furnace Replacement

[Chris Bryant <bryantrv@xxxxxxxxxx>]

         The circuit boards are actually made by the same company, but... 
in the Suburban "NT" series, the circuit board is right next to the 
combustion chamber, which makes it very hot- in the Atwood/Hydroflame 
models, the board is in the return air stream, which keeps it cool. I have 
toyed with the idea of moving the board to a remote location in out 
Suburban NT series, which would make it last much better.

         Did you have to cut a rib, or did you install it vertically? I 
have resisted recommending these simply because of the (perceived) amount 
of work involved, but they are *much* nicer and easier to work on- you can 
actually get to and test every component while the furnace is in and operating.
