I was afraid that would be the answer. We'll make it work. Thanks for the help!

Hello pros,
Appreciate any advice you offer. We are remodeling a basement in our 10 year old home by adding a bedroom to an open space that includes a furnace and water heater on one end. The...

My replacement HVAC system was recently installed and I noticed something unusual about the installation. My equipment includes a 4 Ton Amana A/C, a 2 Stage VS gas furnace, a matching 4-5 ton coil,...

seatonheating: I had asked for a bayvent during negotiations (because of what I've read here) and he told me they used concentric. I agreed to the concentric when the sales contractor said he never...

troyorr: They supplied the 600M and that's probably good since I am using the Honeywell IAQ to control it. I'll be getting the IAQ outdoor temp sensor and will let the IAQ work the changes as...

I bend metal: The line is definitely not horizontal where he installed the bulb. I just looked at the published Amana TXV installation instructions and it does say 10 or 2 o'clock, but it does NOT...

Thanks for the help, pros!

troyorr: you raised a few issues. The condensor brackets are still solid and "shouldn't" break. They do deserve some TLC and I can do that in the spring to help extend...

Thanks for the remarks. It is clear they put some thought and effort in making it look nice.

This filter is a change from an old standard 1" slot. It may not show well in the pictures, but the...

My replacement system was just installed. I read this board and learned a lot about the equipment and the importance of the installation. I see a few things that I, as an interested consumer, am...

beenthere;
Using several different online calculators, I only came up with a monthly winter cost savings of $29 to $75, depending on the calculator used. For 6 months of heating a year, that is...

dhvac,
We discussed it and I actually brought the option up to my dealer before he did. I guess I made the final decision against the heat pump for three reasons:
1. I expect gas to be available,...

Finally agreed to the equipment and signed the contract. The install is in about 9 days. I'm getting the Amana AMV9, Amana ASX14, AprilAire 5000 filter, AprilAire 600 humidifier, and Honeywell IAQ...

Beenthere: I have a "Normal" amount of windows, but I have 16 and 14 ft cathedral ceilings in 3 large rooms (more than half the house), 5 skylights, and a triple wide sliding glass door all add to...

Thanks for the responses. All the advice on this board seems to be credible. That one delaer was somehow misinformed or I had a major misunderstanding. The IAQ sounds like it is still the...

In planning a replacement system with a new high efficiency furnace, A/C, humidifier, and electronic filter, based on much of what I have learned here, I mentioned to the dealer that I am interested...

I am shopping for a direct vent insert and the FB-IN is on my short list. I've seen good first hand reviews here. It has the firebrick interior that helps radiate more heat through the glass. In...

I appreciate all the advice from the pros. Thanks!

One dealer is proposing a Goodman GSC140481, FMV950905DX furnace and a coil. Is a R22 14 SEER system. Dealer says I DO NOT need a TXV because it is only 14 SEER system. He said he would install it...

The last system is still working and there is no apparent contamination. A new lineset seemed natural to me, until they added a cost that approaches 4 digits, or more than 3 times the online price I...

Thanks pros for all the great things I have learned reading others' posts. I think I know the answer but I need to ask my question. I am replacing an 18 year old home system and all the R22 based...

I am replacing an 18year old gas furnace and A/C in my 2400 SF home in St Louis. From the 2 estimates I have so far and my board research, I have some up with a few questions. I will likely be...
