No, not in our area
Thanks. But the basement is very dry, never had water, knock on wood. And in the months other than June, July, August, humidity is in the 30-42 range
Hi,
I finished my basement a couple years ago and did not tap into the existing HVAC ducts. I installed 2 240V baseboard heaters that I have on a remote MYSA control system. During the summer I use...
But I guess I can assume that it will lower the static pressure. I just simply read the static pressure off of my infinity thermostat all that other stuff is too complicated for me.
Hi, Just a quick question, how much will a Merv 8 5" filter lower static compared to a Merv 10. Is it noticeable? Thanks..Geo
Hi. Nice to be back getting educated. Have about a 17 yo Carrier Infinity system with 58MV? Furnace and 13?seer ac unit. But if issues come up have been looking at Tempstar ION series which would be...
So basically putting in only a return would not help any even to draw out cool air in winter?
Would one supply coming off the main trunk be of any benefit?
I do turn on an infrared heater now and...
Hi
have not been back for a while. Just worked with someone to finish basement of 2 story townhouse. Finished part of the basement is below ground except for a small window well in the laundry room....
I think I better rephrase my question. What I meant is, is it better to use the main diverter in the plenum to separate amounts of air going upstairs versus first level, or is partially closing the...
Just curious if most people bother with the manual air diverter in the main plenum that separates the main floor from the second floor. I have it so equal amounts of air go upstairs and downstairs?...
Thanks everyone!
Hi,
Well I did it-purchased complete unit and replaced all parts except the metal cabinet, which was nicely sealed into place. Was a little worried at first because light did not come on, but after...
I am pretty sure now that the one cell is defective-nothing obvious? Anyway, calling company with good $$$ for complete unit-want to inquire if it includes the pre and post filters? F300E1019...
I think might have i figured it out
When I place one of the cells in the enclosure it zaps in the position if it is up front. The other cell DOES NOT zap in this position, SO it seems that is the...
Hi, again,
Just wanted to ask another question re: media filters.
If I check my static pressure using the Infinity thermostat under the Service option my static pressure is 0.17@470cfm, and when I...
Thanks,
i have my variable speed motor on 24/7 on low, so there is continuous air circulation. Funny you mention the blue post filters by Honeywell. I didn't use them for the first few years, then...
Thanks, everyone-no zapping yet. BUT will not do dishwasher clean anymore. Although I have a Bosch dishwasher with no heating coil, the wash may be too much. will get some Nu-Calgon cal cleaner, and...
I had a real close look at the cell that was zapping when near the door, and saw a couple plates that were bent a bit and a little closer than the others. I took needle nose pliers and tried to...
Please disregard my last post. I realize what these contacts are. I don't see any burning on the contacts or plates. I am at an impasse.
I'm sorry but not sure what you mean by the contacts(fingers) I see 3 metal contact squares built into the ceramic(?) square on the cell, and underneath there is a piece of metal coming off the...
I think I might have found the problem. I tried the 2 cells in different positions and different order, and here is what I can seeI tried each cell in the front position closest to the door. One of...
Reversed the cells and the zapping seemed to have stopped. Should I just suck it up and replace both cells and move on??? or replaced the one that caused zapping when it was the front cell?
zapping non stop again....Do I buy 2 new cells??? What you think? Please.
You guys are fantastic. Thanks so much with your help. When I say I reversed the cells , I meant when I slid them in i changed only their order. Now it seems to "NOT BE ZAPPING" continuously. We got...
I didn't think I saw any, but will check again. I guess I use pliers to straighten them out. I am pretty sure none are touching, but will check. Thanks
I am pretty good with maintenance, washing them each month if not sooner. Will a Merv 11 clean the air of pollutants as well as EAC? And the zapping-any ideas?
Thanks
Just did static pressure...
Hi, and Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays
Long time away. Always appreciate the responses.
Anyway, have a Carrier Infinity gas system with a Honeywell F300E 1019 16x25 EAC
Noticed a few days ago...
I have the furnace serviced 2X [per year. Last time the tech told me the area where they clean/observe was really clean. He said the filters must really be doing their jobs for it to be so clean.
Sorry just posted in AOC Residential. I think it was the wrong forum for my dilemma. Sorry
Hi, Wasn't sure what to put in title, but will proceed.
We have a hi-eff. Carrier gas furnace with a Honeywell F300E 1019 EAC, with pre and post filters. I am very conscious of keeping it clean. At...
So, I should have at least the left run done with 45degree bends and get rid of the wired flex ducting. The supply can be moved up one joist to make it all hard ducting from beginning to end.
TLhanks, and one more question- if I were to sell the house would this be something the inspectors would frown upon and list as a no-no.....?
Thanks.
I would have to see if crushed. If I stick my hand into the supply from the top it just seems bent. There was no cutting of joist. I guess that would be the one that is losing flow the most....
Thanks,
Here are various pics from both the left and right side runs. I do have them covered partly with insulation. The 2 90degree bends are noticeable. And I have one shot of the place in the...
Have 2 6" runs coming off the main trunk feeding the end room The left on comes off the trunk, goes about 8 ' or so then does a 90degree bend down, then another 90 degree bend across the length of...
Hi, Just have adopted daughter's 2 cats for a year or less. I have the carrier Infinity system with the Hioneywell E300 EAC filter. I have not used the post filters. My static without them on normal...
Thanks
I have 5 supply registers to the main levbel The one to the kitchen is the closest to the plenum and I have it dampered quite a bit because of the strong air flow. The other 4 are equidistant...
Thanks. I am thinking of asking him to replace the one run because it has 2 90degree bends, and a 45 and the last bit of run(about 1.5') is the aluminum type flexible ducting to fit(it is still...
so no difference in the flow of air? Air being blown out more forcibly?(dampers are fully open
Thanks. One thing is for sure is that every joint along the 2 lines were sealed with mastic, even the bends were sealed, take offs that come out of the main trunk-everythong sealed. I was strictly...
My friend who is a contractor put a couple of runs in this weekend for me which had rust inside.
I also have two runs at the other end of the house feeding an addition(these runns have bends in...
The installer said he would put the damper about 4" down the 6" duct, and when connected to the take-off it would be partially in the take-off, when fully open
does an open damper noticeably reduce the amount
of supply air? Thanks
I am having about a 3.5' floor duct from the main trunk line replaced(rust, smelly) I will never touch the damper. Should one be put in?, or leave it without damper. Will the lack of a damper make...
Thanks for the info, but you have me with the water stops, and the other stuff you mentioned. I do know about braided hoses, only. Thanks.
George
Should I tape the top of this downpipe for the washing machine and condensate discharge.
Sorry did not know how to delete the previous post....
