The temperature difference between the two levels is about the same after I partially closed the air vents on the main level--James

I notice that my second level ceiling metal air vents/grills are sweating. Just beads of water on the metal vents. Am I the only one, should I be concerned, what is the problem, and how do I...

Thank you for the clarification. Yes I have the new swept wing blade on my XL16i. I guess Trane needs to correct their online advertising.

Today's Trane website says that the XL16i has a multistage fan. I got mine installed October of 2006, I know it has a 2 stage compressor, but the fan itself seems to spin at the same speed all the...

The trane website says that the xl16i heatpump has a multistage fan. But brochure says that only the xl19i has the multistage fan. So does the xl16i heatpump have a multistage fan?

I understand...

Dear experts, it seems that my heat pump is using it's aux. heat only. It is 45 degrees outside. Is this normal? What is the operating temerature of a heat pump before it starts to use aux. heat...

What is a direct vent water heater: new vent or new type of water heater? I wonder if most people in my situation stick with 80% furnace to avoid all this trouble... James:-)

Hi, I have a 78% furnace in zone 1 of my house right now that shares one big vertical vent with my gas water heater.

I heard that switching to a 90% furnace is not as easy as simply taking it off...

Dear Experts,

Thank you for all the help on these boards. I just purchased a Home Depot HVAC installation in Maryland. 3 ton heatpump Trane 16XLi with variable speed handler. I am very excited....

I just noticed that the "037" AND the "040" are both 3 ton handlers on the Trane website. My tech recommended the "040." Funny that he calls it a 3.5 ton while Trane calls it a 3 ton. Thanks for...
