Highlights

  • The OL8 Series provides increased capacity in a lowboy oil furnace.
  • Quieter start up, greater efficiency, and more comfortable operation due to infinite fan motor speeds.
  • Delivery of comfortable airflow in both the heating and cooling modes. On a call for heat or cooling the blower motor starts at the slower speed and builds to the correct running speed.
  • Automatically compensates for restricted ducts or a dirty air filter by increasing the motor speed (routine filter cleaning is still recommended.)
  • Energy bills will be lower due to quieter efficiency of the ECM-CT motor (especially when you run the blower for long periods of time.)
  • Reduced fan speeds will run quietly and save energy when the blower runs constantly as with air filtration.
