SOURCE: I have 2goodmanGKS9 gas furnaces(propane)

well lets start with the 2" pvc pipe. that is a combustion air intake it does not put air into the room, i hope. this is a 90% furnace and they should have installed it that way. there should be 2 pipes to the outside the other is combustion gases. the dust problem maybe caused by the air return pulling the air to that room. the bedroom normaly does not get the trafic that the rest of the condo does.so it would not have as much dust.

How do I get combustion air from outside of the house to my Amana propane furnace?

the furnace should have never been installed without combustion air in the first place, is it in the attic, basement, closet? The amount of combustion air depends on the btu's. you can run ,metal ducting to the space. propane is a heavy gas and needs to be installed carefully so gas cannot puddle and fill up a specific application if not installed properly.

Why does new furnance with propane conversion have yellow flames?

Make sure the kit included smaller sized orifice's and spring kit for the gas valve. The number on each orifice should be cross referenced with total btu's rating of the furnace. It does seem like there is too much fuel or not enough air intake (combustion air). The inches of W.C. seem fine, but you still may be getting too much volume of fuel with too large of sized orifice's. Hope that helps

My high efficiency furnace has water (possibly condensation) running down the air intake pvc pipe into the furnace and all over the burner, gas valve, and wiring.

First, check the drainline from the furnace. You have a 90% gas fired furnace. Where 80% furnace has 1 heat exchanger, yours has 2 heat exchangers. And the second heat exchanger will cool the exhaust enough, that it ends up below the dew point, and your furnace outlet/exhaust will condensate. This drain is probably stopped up. Now, I've installed and service many of these systems and I've only seen the piping at the roof you described once. And that was when the roofers replaced the roof, damaged the furnace flue pipe, and tried to repair it themselves. Normally, and this may not apply to yours, we tie in the exhaust/supply lines about 2-3 ft. above the furnace. Then 1 pipe goes through the roof. Thus 1 pipe is a kit that has an inner liner & outer pipe(2 pipes in 1). Now I'm not sure if this is a problem or normal for your system, but it may be worth looking into. You should be able to find it in the installation manual, or call a local parts house that sells your brand, or as your tech. And if it's just your drain, forget all about the piping I mentioned. Hope this helps!

We need to bleed the line from our underground propane tank to our Coleman furnace. We recently put the tank underground and had it refilled. Cheryl

you need to purge the line of air do this outside first , you will also need to do this at the furnace crack the joint at the gas valve /service valve ,but propane is heaver than air so be very carefull doing this , or call in a gas fitter to do this job

Just purchased a home and was never told where the air filter is

Well if it not in the boot looking thing coming off the side of the furnace then it is most likely inside the furnace.

Weather King Acclaim 2 Gas furnace efilters

If your furnace is easily accessed in the basement or a closet etc. then likely the filters are located either in the bloer compaertment (the small panel on the furnace) or in the ductwork attached to the furnace. There should be a removable cover. The size varies dedending on the size of your system. When you remove the old one it should be printed on it or you can measure it.
If your furnace is in the attic or a crawl space then you probably have filter grill(s) in your return air. Usually centrally located in the home.
Filters should be changed as needed depending on how you use your system but usually every 30-90 days.
