Why is My Furnace Making a Loud Noise?  Specifically your new Ultra Low NOx furnace.

California State Regulations:

New Ultra Low NOx HVAC Requirements have been put in place in California in an effort to combat health and environmental issues created by NOx. The goal is to lower greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 by regulating the nitrous oxide (NOx) emitted by residential gas furnaces. The truth is greenhouse gases not only pose issues for the environment, but are also bad for your health. The EPA states, that NOx contributes to respiratory issues, smog and global warming. Currently residential buildings contribute about 25% of California’s total greenhouse emissions. Furthermore, a great amount of greenhouse gas savings can come from eliminating on-site combustion of natural gases. Steve's A/C Heating and Air can discuss installing a new Ultra Low NOx at your home, or can come out and quiet your Ultra Low NOx furnace that was installed.

 

California lowered NOx emission limits from 40ng/J to 14ng/J for all natural-gas-fired, fan-type residential central furnaces within certain parts of the state. An installation uncompliant with these emission standards is liable for a fine up to $450
