Conventional atmospheric gas furnace. This is the most commonly used gas heating appliance in Canada and also the least efficient. The furnace uses a naturally aspirating atmospheric burner (air for combustion enters the combustion chamber freely) and a standing (always lit) pilot light. Electric ignition has replaced the standing pilot light on some new furnaces of this type. 1, record 2, English, - conventional%20atmospheric%20furnace
