alright, I recently bought and moved into a new home in Charlotte, NC. I have had problems since day 1 with my hvac system (cooling). The original contractor has been out twice to "fix" problems. The problems are:
1. inefficient cooling of home, and a/c unit does not cycle (runs constantly)
2. all equipment appears to be compatible (I can't find exact info for the coil and the condenser unit)
3. water is coming from both the primary and secondary (emergency) condensate lines, and the pan is still filling with water
4. I don't know if this really matters but, the furnace, evaporator coil and the air condensor are all three different brands
Here is what I have:
1. Furnace: Carrier - 58STA070-12112
2. Coil: ADP - HE322236D145B1620AP
3. A/C: Heil - NAC03AKC3
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what my course of action should be? As I stated above, I think all three are compatable (meaning, I think all three are 3-ton equivalent), but I've heard that you should not mix-match equipment from different manufacturers!
I know that the overflow pan filling up is really non-related to the system operating properly, but I put it in as an indication that everything is probably not installed 100% correctly.
Thanks for any advice you can pass along!
