You are the expert - and I am not questioning this statement. However, I used the cheapo fiberglass filter for 19 years in the heat pump which I just replaced - and six months ago, I had to have...

I am not a technician, just a consumer, so I may be way off base, but I just had a Trane heat pump with XL800 series thermostat installed and it does NOT light up when auxiliary heat (heat strips)...

I find it unbelievable that Trane wouldn't include this on new heat pumps. My unit was manufactured in 2008, per serial number info and just installed last week. I would think that Trane should...

Where would I find more information about that? (Trane rubber piece).

I just had a new Trane Heat Pump (Model WCH-030C100A) installed, and it appears to be working fine. However, being overprotective of new acquisitions, I am aware and constantly on guard of any...

The contractor came by today with a technician and they checked the output temps etc. Then he presented me with the bill of $4,900 for the job. (That is the amount of the proposal I originally...

While I understand that the heat strips do not represent 50% of the job, the entire unit is not completely installed right now. It is not permanently attached to the internal ducts, building, etc. -...

Hey, thanks for all your responses. I think this forum is a great place for homeowners to get good info. I feel much better this morning. I set the thermostat on 72 degrees last night, and the...

Thanks, for response, smokin68. After I posted this, I lowered the temperature on the thermostat to 72 degrees, and it has been holding at 72 degrees, even though the outdoor temperature has now...

I finally broke down and bought a new Trane over and under unit to replace my 20-year old unit. Purchased it from a local reputable Trane Dealer, who is a Trane Certified Specialist firm.

The...

Thanks for responses - I just ordered a replacement heat pump which, unlike my old unit, has a hole in the top where the fan is located.
...

Doe anyone know of something which can be set on top of a heat pump which will not obstruct the air, but protect the fan from ice and snow? (And, why don't the manufacturers consider this in making...

Thanks for the input, dash. After researching firms locally, I think I will just stick with the over and under unit ( both American Standard and Trane make them) and there would be no space problem,...

No, Kevin, I didn't - I don't even know what it is - none of the companies who came out offered such a calculation.

Thanks for responses - I'm not sure what you mean by "a single changeover transition that goes between the new unit and my existing elbow". Is this a ready made type item, or do you have to have it...

I presently have a Trane Over and Under Package Heat Pump which is 20 years old and starting to cause me problems. It is a 2 1/2 ton Trane and has serviced the area (1000 square feet) adequately. ...

I have a Trane self-contained over and under heat pump, which is 19 years old. Last night the outside temperature was below about 60 degrees and I was "cold", so rather than put a blanket on the...

Thanks to all of you for your help. Appreciate the advice.

Read my post just previous to this one - you were right on target, smokin68. He did NOT clean the coils or the blower compartment, even tho he led me to believe he had. You were so right - should...

OK - I found my problem - and I mean literally I found the problem. After a couple of service calls by my technician, I was talking to a neighbor, who had a similar problem recently. It was dirt...

Does Bard have distributors in local area (Oklahoma)? Their site just lists representatives - mine seems to be out of Texas. Guess I just contact him and get local installer?

I am looking at replacement unit (2 or 2 1/2 ton total electric) which needs to be an over and under package unit. I have found two manufacturers - Trane and American Standard. Does anyone know...

Now that I am looking for possible replacement heat pump, I have scanned through the threads in here - noting that one comment was indicating contacting Sears was a joke. Does anyone have experience...

That's what I thought - thanks for confirmation. [I] sure hate to put out the $, but I can't see much alternative. Will get at least three quotes on this, since I don't know how much they cost now...

OK, fellows - here I am two days later with the same problem as originally stated, I am getting icing on the coils and the compressor, lines, etc. with no air coming inside. Obviously the leak (if...
