<blockquote class="cite">Hello Wrenches,<br><br> What is the best choice for a propane, forced air furnace for an off grid house? We would prefer one that doesn't have a phantom load, although the transformer for the thermostat may not be avoidable. Low blower current would be preferable. The furnace AC will be powered by a Magnum 4448 PAE.<br><br> Thank you,<br><br> Drake <br><br> <a name="_MailAutoSig"></a>Drake Chamberlin<br> <em>Athens Electric LLC<br> OH License 44810<br> CO License 3773<br> NABCEP Certified Solar PV <br> 740-448-7328<br> </em><a href="http://athens-electric.com/">http://athens-electric.com/</a></blockquote>
