2008 Rheem Prestige Comfort Modulating Furnace Start up

This is the Rheem I had installed today. This is video take at the same distance and conditions as the video of the 1975 furnace it replaced. This was to compare the noise levels of the two furnaces.

From 0:00 to 0:51 the induction draft motor is running. At 0:52 the burners turn on at 100% as does the blower motor

Hard to see for sure, but it looks like Teflon tape on the gas pipe. I know they make tape rated for gas (yellow) but that looks white to me. I would want the proper tape or pipe dope used.

@Nutintoitbut2doit You got that right!! Some people just live to complain. Or should I just say this. If someone gets a good brand, such as Rheem, and they have problems with it, it is only a lemon! But they have to go on and on about how much Rheem sucks. Well, I have news for them . If you Rheem is properly maintained, and installed correctly, it will last well over 20 years without have to have any parts replaced.

@HCVguy93 Rheem and Ruud Rock dude.

Nice looking unit.

@fanlimits No offense, but Rheem is the BEST HVAC equipment on the market today. They last longest, are very quiet, and are just an all around good unit. I am not just saying this because I have a Rheem. Please look a dizziedallas's channel. : )
