Hello,
I am hoping to find some help with my electric furnace model e2eb-015ah. I have a 32x80 mobile home with this unit installed. My last 2 electric bills have been around $520! It has always been high here, but nothing like this.
I replaced the sequencer and all of the wiring this summer because the old sequencer caught fire due to water leaking from the overhead coils. Everything appears to work fine and I read the proper voltages talked about here on the forum. About a month ago (first $500 electric bill!) I went under the trailer with some foil tape and tried to tape off all leaks coming from the duct work to the registers inside the house. This was a pretty tough project and took a couple of hard days work. I feel that all leaks have been repaired and all of the air in the system should be coming inside the house now.
It has recently turned very cold here in Alabama so I have noticed the furnace is running non-stop. I guess that explains the expensive electric bill. I inspected the air coming from each register inside the home and found that the air coming from the ones on the far end of the house is kind of cool. I thought that maybe I had a bad heating element, but each one measures 240 vac and about 11.2ohms on each one with power removed.
I found that the yellow wire was connected to the blower relay indicating med/low speed while the elements are heating. I changed this to the red wire for low speed hoping that the air would be warmer coming from the registers. The air still feels very cool to me. Any suggestions?
