The connection of the add-on to an existing furnace imposes a greater work-load on the air-circulating blower. Unless compensating adjustments are made, the additional restriction will reduse air flow, and overheating of the existing furnace can result. To provide a reference point for later adjustments,you must test air flow before any installation work begins.

There are two methods of evaluating existing air flow: the static pressure drop method and the temperature rise method.
