Will furnace run on 120v

dick66 · Nov 4, 2010

Just wondering if the furnace will run on 120 volt. We are installing some cabinets and want to put formica on the top of the cabinets but want it warm inside when we do that. Is there a problem running the furnace while sitting in the driveway?

The furnace runs using 12 volts and LP. You will not have a problem using the furnace while sitting in the driveway. Just be sure that the outside vent is not blocked or to near your siding.

If you have 120V available, you could also use a couple of electric space heaters to supplement the furnace.

The furnace needs to run on 12 volts DC for heat when you are boondocking. When you are plugged into 120 volts AC, your convertor will be making all of the 12 volt power you need for your furnace.
