Half sizing my own furnace 88k to 44k made a HUGE improvement in comfort.
I've been considering swapping the orifice for my far right heat exchanger of my 75k Carrier 58GS to a plug to 2/3 size it. It would still meet my heat load. Almost considering dropping to 1/3 since the only flame sensor in the furnace is in the intermittent(spark ignition) pilot assembly and testing how a 19k heat output really affects things, at least until I hit the -5f balance point but I think it would still be comfortable until I hit -10f or maybe design load but I might not be too happy at -20f without more insulation. ..not sure I want to burn 288 watts in the blower for three times the normal duration though so it would just be a test. I don't think it would be safe to take out anything other than the far right burner though because the high limit is sandwiched between the two left burners.
