Systems and methods for controlling a draft inducer for use with a furnace. The draft inducer includes a motor for driving a fan for inducing a draft in the furnace that causes a pressure drop across the heat exchanger of the furnace. A memory stores information including a table of predefined speed/torque values for defining a set of speed/torque curves for operating the motor. A pressure switch provides a pressure signal representative of a reference pressure across the heat exchanger and a processor determines the speed and torque of the motor when the pressure drop corresponds to the reference pressure. In response to the determined motor speed and motor torque, the processor retrieves a parameter defining at least one delta value from the memory. The processor adapts the predefined speed/torque values as a function of the delta value thereby to define the speed/torque curves corresponding to a desired pressure drop. A control circuit generates a motor control signal in response to the defined speed/torque curves to cause the motor to operate as a function of the determined motor speed and motor torque for controlling the draft induced in the combustion chamber.
