Dettson Furnace Commissioning
BC Wide commissions every furnace it installs: gas pressure and input rate, combustion analysis, temperature rise against the certified range, airflow and blower set-up, safety-switch verification and a full cycle test, all documented. Commissioning is also offered as a check on work done by others. This page covers Dettson furnaces specifically.

An installation is not finished when the furnace lights. Commissioning proves it: manifold and inlet gas pressure within the manufacturer's figures, input rate confirmed, combustion analyzed, temperature rise inside the certified range on the rating plate, airflow and blower speeds set for the duct system, and every safety control verified through real operation.
Manufacturer instructions used across this site require these checks at start-up: purge and leak-check the gas line, verify manifold pressure, clock the gas rate, measure temperature rise and confirm operation. Commissioning is the documented performance of those steps, and it is part of every BC Wide installation.
For homeowners with a furnace installed by someone else, commissioning provides an independent verification: if the numbers are outside the manufacturer's range, the report says so and the corrections are quoted.
Dettson specifics

How it works
Prepare
Gas, electrical and venting are verified before firing.
Fire and measure
The furnace runs through its cycles with combustion and airflow instruments.
Adjust
Blower speeds and set-up are adjusted to bring the numbers into range.
Document
A commissioning record is provided with the measured values.
Questions people ask
Is commissioning included in my installation?
Yes. Every furnace BC Wide installs is commissioned and documented as part of the scope. It is also offered separately to verify installations by others.
Why does temperature rise matter?
The rating plate states a certified temperature rise range. Outside it, the furnace either overheats (high rise) or condenses in the heat exchanger (low rise), both of which shorten its life. Commissioning proves the installed system is inside the range.
