Good deal. I know I am working with tools the pros use! Thank you again for all the information and to everyone that contributed!!!! I am a bit OCD and like things to be as close to perfect as...

Those are great references. Thank you so much! The HERS Rater site has alot of information I have been looking to find. I am in the process of familiarizing myself as much as possible with HERS and...

Based on the information supplied at this link I was able to determine I am about 3.7 off from the desired temp split provided in the chart provided. Looks like I may have a bit of low airflow. Can...

Whoops!!! Yes I meant subcool.

So found a couple of issues! One being that my low loss fitting was not allowing gauges to work properly. Changed fitting and now I have about 16 SH. Recovered charge and went just a bit overboard so...

@Mark Beiser i will have the unit charged tomorrow as you have said. I will continue with the maintenance as spoken of by udarrell. The maintenance is a must regardless. Thank you all that have...

So blower has been cleaned thouroughly and gained about 1 degree of temp split between return and supply. Getting into the evap coil is going to be tricky. There is only about an 8" transition in...

Here it is from a couple of angles...

Attached is pic of TXV.

Thank you udarrell for clarifying! Amazing the differences in terminology I hear. I am familiar hearing cap tube, fixed orifice, and TXV. In reading I see alot of...

This TXV is definitely external. It sits just outside the coil case as it is dripping condensate into the secondary pan. I will get a picture and post.

So a piston orifice and cap tube are both...

No. This has a gas fired furnace. @Mr. Bill No trick questions. After reading again, it does sound like it could be though. Just making sure the TXV or flowrater (now known to be a TXV thanks to...

Hope this works...

Hmmm.. very interesting. So the outdoor unit calls for a 90 piston and says Indoor TXV Subcooling 11. This coil is a slab and all I found for an orifice was a flowrater. The markings on the top are...

My apologies... I overlooked that question.
AH = 58RAV115-20
Condenser = 38TRA048310

Now that I am looking at the model numbers5 it seems the outside unit is a 4ton using a 5ton coil and a 5 ton...

Thank you for all the information!!! I will start by having the evaporator coil cleaned and move from there as suggested. Will update on the progress!

I have a heat pump in the "drop" ceiling, between floors, of an addition. The air handler is in a finished space above laundry equipment in the garage. I am trying to air seal where there is nothing...

I am the homeowner in this case. I however do some AC work and am working with a mentor, that happens to be unavailable today.

Thank you for the reply udarrell! Using a fieldpiece psycrometer I found the outdoor humdity to be about 55% and inside 46% . From the model number on the coil I found this to be a Accurater .90...

Looking at other posts I may not have supplied enough info.

Suction Pressure 70 Suction Line Temp 51
Liquid Pressure 160 Liquid Line Temp 86
Outdoor dB 82
Indoor wB 68

Coil is a Carrier CE3AXA060000ABA. Looks to have a Accurater metering device.

:gah:Just had system serviced but system does not seem to be cooling. Checked temp diff from supply to return and was 10 degrees. So checked pressures at condenser. What does a normal superheat (10...

Thank you for the information! I am in N. Louisiana. We see quite a bit of humidity so leaning towards the VS. There is a significant cost difference though and not sure if it would pay off to go...

Would like some advice on the air handler options for Goodman. I have the choice of an EEM or PSC motor. What would be the pro's and con's of each and recommended option? :limb:

I am not sure electric bills as it is not my equipment. She mentioned one of the last bills was around $215. I gave up some of my time but in the end get the replacement job. She just needed to get...

If i can pull this one through one more season then I will have the go for the replacement. System runs very well. Would not even know the age if just went by efficiency and cooling ability....
