Gas install complete

With underground lines connected to the gas main, we just had to wait a few days for Atco to return and install the actual gas meters. With an account set up at a retailer, a site id, line install and permits/application forms all filled out the process, once you complete each step at the right time and in the right order, is fairly straightforward.

With gas installed but no plumber or electrician to be found, we managed to turn the gas on, get it flowing to the furnace only, and connect power to the furnace.  This is needed because even in the extremely hot and dry weather we have been enjoying, the basements are just not quite warm enough to dry our taping compound

With the meter in place and connected to our plumbers pipe that distributes gas throughout the house, we are ready to generate some heat for our drywall compound

With temporary power, permanent gas and a drain line and thermostat rigged up we are able to fire the furnace and get it running. These are extremely quiet and efficient dual stage burner variable speed fan furnaces and work extremely well
