I am getting ready to mount a 45,000 btu Modine ceiling furnace and thought I'd ask if there were any recommended placement angles for best coverage. Ideas are : Center of the wall blowing straight ahead In the corner blowing along the most exposed wall to prevailing winds In the corner angle...

Looking a a couple of different modine and Dayton hall hanging LP furnaces, but are old enough to have pilot lights... what are the down falls of these older units other than you can paint with them because of possible fume issues. Thanks, Barry

Am I right in understanding if you use this type furnace as an occassional turn on unit, rather than w/ a thermostat that there will be freezing issues if it's used in sub freezing weather? Barry

That makes sense... but doesn't heat from a slower /lower btu furnace also rise at the same rate.. or does lower btu rise at a lower rate<G>. I also wonder if the higher rated furnace doesn't/wouldn't have a larger cfm fan to 'throw' the heat farther and help control strafication. Thanks, Barry

Good deal... but maybe you missed what I was trying to say... If your 45,000 takes 15-20 mins... how much quicker would a ..say...100,000 do it in? Which would be cheaper to run? Now I didn't say buy and install, just run? No big deal just curious... Barry

OK guys help me out here... a smaller BTU furnace should take longer to heat an area up than a bigger BTU unit right... A bigger BTU unit will use propane faster than a smaller one ..BUT it will not take as long to heat the same area as a smaller BTU unit..So is it a trade off? I am just...
