attic high effeceincy furnace frozen condensate
Two forced 90% h/e hot air units in a cold attic were blowing cold. The tech replaced the flame rod in each unit and said the condensate was frozen. There is about 15' of pvc that runs out to a gutter. The units are cycling on and off providing some heat. What can be done to eliminate frozen condensate? Thanks for any ideas. Regards, Bob.

That's why we don't advise 90% in attic.. Is this a new install??
Only thing you can do is heat tape and wrap the line.. Move the line out of the gutter, otherwise you may have an Ice Dam waiting to happen.
