    changing a 1 speed furnace motor to a variable furnace motor
    I have a 30 year old natural gas ICG furnace with air with a one speed ac motor. Is it possible to change to a two speed, or a variable speed motor?

    The conversion can be done but it will be best left to a local contractor since it involves control system modifications along with safety concerns.
