The Three Types of Furnace Motors

Apart from energy efficiency, one of the most important things to consider in a replacement furnace is the motor that powers the fan. Fans that operate at different speeds help you better manage the heat provided by the furnace — making your home consistently more comfortable.

Single-Stage Motor

Single-stage fans are common in older furnaces and have just one speed, on or off. Parts are available, but these furnaces are no longer available for sale in the U.S. as they aren’t energy efficient.

Multi-Stage Motor

Multi-stage furnace motors typically offer the best balance between cost and value. These furnaces have two or more fan speeds, allowing the furnace to better manage your household temperature.

Variable-Stage Motor

Variable-stage furnaces have motors that can run at many speeds that are adjustable in very small increments. This makes it easier to precisely match your furnace to your home heating needs.

How does a furnace work?

A natural gas or propane high-efficiency furnace works like this:

The furnace starts up when the thermostat senses that the temperature had dropped below a pre-set level.
The ventor motor does a safety check to ensure the venting is clear, as determined by the pressure switch. The ignitor then ignites the burners inside the furnace combustion chamber and starts creating heat. The heat is transferred to the primary heat exchanger, which heats the air as it flows through the furnace. The combustion gases are then passed through a secondary heat exchanger to further extract heat.
The blower motor pushes the warmed air through the plenum and out into the house via the registers.
The combustion gases, including carbon monoxide, are safely vented to the outdoors from the furnace.
Outside fresh air is pulled into the burn chamber to provide a more efficient burn
Any cold air left in the home gets circulated into the furnace to be heated up.
