I have a side-mounted Rheem heating system in my attic. It burns natural (city) gas The air conditioner is separate and is outside. The thermostat is an old style dial with a mercury bubble, but I can't see any model numbers on it.
Heater model number is RCAH-Z025S
I got in the attic to watch the cycles.
The blower comes on. 1 minute later the burner comes on for 10 seconds and stops. The 1 minute off, 10 seconds on cycle repeats until the 8 minute mark when it apparently gives up for a while. The air out of the vents, obviously is very cold.
Written on the top of the unit (in sharpie) it says control board was replaced in March of '05, and motor was replaced in February of '06. Near the unit was an empty box for a remote flame sensor that I'm assuming someone put on the system.
I don't know anything else about the system's history. I bought the house 2 years ago. The house is about 13 years old.
Any information you could give would be appreciated. Thank you.
