I did an inspection yesterday and the blower fan for the furnace is on a GFCI circuit. I can not find anything on codes against it, but it would be problematic for the buyers, if it ever was to trip (which it did when I tested the exterior outlets).


It is on the same circuit as many of the exterior outlets. Should’nt this be on its own circuit?


Any suggestions???

I believe central heating shall be supplied by an individual branch circuit with some exception allowed for directly associated auxilary equipment such as humidifiers, electrostatic air cleaners and the like.
