Question Varying the Speed of a High-Efficiency Furnace?

Hey CP,

With winter coming I did a few mild upgrades to my 3 year old home with an H.E. Furnace, which included a wifi-enabled thermostat (kick ass, I highly recommend it - I changed my temperature from Paris last week!) and a new filter. This got me thinking about my previous winter....

Last winter was my first with an HE furnace, I was wondering if the following is possible:
  • Can you change the fan speed on an HE furnace? I know there are some variable-speed models out there, but I am unsure if mine is (I'll check when I get in from work, but I am assuming it isn't).

  • If I have a 'one speed' fan in my HE furnace, does anyone know if you can retro fit a variable speed fan, or some form of fan speed controller? The jet engine roar is annoying at times (but the cheap as borscht NG bill is awesome)
