New residential development. Im kind of stumped as to whether a 15 amp or 20 amp circuit is appropriate for the gas furnace installs. The builder wants 14 gauge wire where ever code allows but I would think 20 amps would be more appropriate considering the name plate rating of the units. The rating plate does say 14.4 amps but I would think the 80% rule applies to all HVAC equipment, the other sparky says it doesn't and has always been putting them on a 15 amp without issue to date. Who would you say is right here?
Here some pics of the furnace:
