Is it possible to do this with USB-C instead of a three-prong?

    Is that a gas system? It has to be if he’s just running the fan off some 1000w inverter I’m guessing.

    Also no, USB-C is going to come nowhere close to putting out that kind of power. What is the max for USB-C? Like 30W? A little more? That’s not 1000W.

      Well mine is oil but same difference probably. Curious, why does it require so much power just to run a pump and make a spark?

        It doesn't. It's the fan. The blower in a typical residential air handler is 400-700W. Moving the volume of air required for a whole-house furnace/AC isn't trivial.

        Strictly speaking, hot surface ignition (basically a piece of wire that gets white hot to start the burner) can be like 300W-ish, but that's only for a few seconds every time the thing kicks on.

        anything you don't understand must be easy.

            no you.

            OP asked a completely moronic question.
            OP is stupid.

            Excuse me gramps, 20v at 5a

            still doesn't matter it's not 120v and 10-15 amps genghis dumb.

            Anyone one with a tiny hint of intelligence would look at the data plate on the furnace and the volts and amps on the charger and conlude that NO one cannot use USB C. one could also lookup the specs of USB C and see what it can and cannot do.

            but instead OP asked here. in the center of mount stupid.

        Yeah that’s still not anywhere close to running the blower for the whole house. That’s like a desktop fan.

      USB-C 2.1 can do 240 watts but yes, still far short of the needed 1000 watts.

    >USB-C
    made for charging a phone using 5 volts and a max of 2 amps.

    electric motors need 120v and many many amps

        Wattage is irrelevant, what matters here is voltage and amps. And a USB cable/jack will not carry a 120v 15A residential current. I shouldn't need to explain this.
