In most newer operations, the indoor fan motor will come on first before the actual heat comes on.
However if you shut off the power and Remove usually
the upper panel. Located on the inside on the right hand side there is information that will tell you what
the temperature rise should be between the supply air and return air.
Usually this requires a thermometer that you can insert about 5ft away from the furnace, for both
the return air and supply air.
If the temperature rise calls the unit to be between 25
and 45 deg F, Adjusting the blower speed lower should give you warmer air maybe as much as 10deg, but 5 deg seems more probable
