Question 1 |
A furnace that uses a direct hot surface ignition system will not ignite the burners. Tech A measures 50 ohms on the hot surface igniter and says that it is defective. Tech B also measures 50 ohms on the igniter and says that the igniter is not defective; the problem is probably a bad control module. Which tech is correct?
A | Tech A |
B | Tech B |
C | Both techs are correct |
D | Both techs are incorrect |
Question 2 |
A tech observes a furnace with an intermittent pilot retrofit ignition system and finds that although a pilot light exists, the main burners will not ignite: he concludes that
A | The gas valve pilot solenoid is defective |
B | The thermostat is not set high enough |
C | The thermostat is located too high on the wall |
D | The ignition system is not proving a pilot flame |
Question 3 |
When a measurement is taken to record temperature rise, the supply air temperature should be taken
A | 10” above the evaporator coil |
B | Above and out of direct line from the heat exchanger |
C | In the supply branch duct |
D | At the first supply run off the main trunk |
Question 4 |
One of the reasons that a pressure switch fails to close is;
A | Manifold gas pressure is too high |
B | The blower motor is not operating adequately |
C | Restriction in the flue vent |
D | Manifold gas pressure is too low |
Question 5 |
When there is not sufficient air available for the combustion process, one element of incomplete combustion that can become fatal is
A | Soot |
B | Aldehydes |
C | Carbon monoxide |
D | Carbon dioxide |
Question 6 |

A | Transformer |
B | Flame sensor |
C | Limit switch |
D | Pressure switch |
Question 7 |
To check a gas furnace with flame rectification, the tech would check;

B | DC microamps |
C | AC microamps |
D | DC milliamps |
Question 8 |
The type of voltage that a thermocouple produces is
A | Small DC voltages |
B | Large DC voltages |
C | Large AC voltages |
D | Small AC voltages |
Question 9 |
When installing thermostat wire to a gas furnace using a millivolt thermopile generator, care should be taken to prevent extreme lengths of wire because
A | Kinks may form in the wire |
B | Of the extra expense of the wire |
C | The thermostat will not work properly |
D | Of the possibility of voltage drops |
Question 10 |

A | A programmable thermostat is not interchangeable with an electromechanical thermostats |
B | A programmable thermostat is interchangeable with an electromechanical thermostat |
C | To operate properly, a programmable must be completely level |
D | All programmable thermostats require a common terminal |
Question 13 |
When installing a programmable thermostat that is used on a heating and cooling system that uses only one control circuit transformer,
A | A common wire must always be supplied to the thermostat |
B | The jumper between RC and RH terminals must be removed |
C | The jumper between RC and RH must not be removed |
D | There will only be an RC terminal and not an RH in the thermostat |
Question 14 |
