Whether split system or single package, an energy-
saving NORDYNE Air Conditioner is available that has

and vertical discharge fan. This type of unit connects with
the existing home air duct system (an optional close-off
damper is required with the furnace).

connects with NORDYNE cooling coil furnace (optional
coil cavity required with “A” model furnaces).

furnace roof jack (Figure 37). Small amounts of ice
forming on the roof jack will present no problems to

restrict the combustion air supply to the burner, causing
inefficient burner operation. If excessive ice has formed
on the air inlet or exhaust portions of the roof jack, it
must be carefully removed.
