As stated those units are most likely very over sized for the home and the ductwork.

The Pos electric cleaner has a very low pressure drop when in operation. Any media filter is going to add to...

The fv4 is a solid airhandler but I hardly ever use it anylonger since it is not communicating. The communicating version is so much more adjustable and has more capabilities. And the communicating...

Also as stated by Vegas, the secondary’s now are stainless which is no longer an issue.

And yes I have seen some of the old ones that had issues early in life but I can tell you from experience...

Sorry Cincinnatikid, my company also would not be able to compete with the cost of bid you got. Now if it the company that I think Vegas is talking about, Goodluck with them- they are slam bam thank...

There are many Goodmana dealers in Cincinnati. Now how good of a company they are who knows, goodmana is known for selling to anyone with a heartbeat. Most all brands are on the same page of quality,...

Well I hope he is not a moron and just set the fan to a lower speed tap without testing the temperature rise.

Wow, I really hope.

If they are just connected together, then yes it is incorrect. However if they installed a proper concentric which is a pipe inside a pipe and installed it correctly then it is ok as long as it and...

Looks like you have had repeated issues with this unit.

Sounds like a poor install, furnace not sloped properly, flue pipes not sized correctly, flue pipes not supported correctly, flue pipes not...

We need to know the model of the indoor and out door units?

Also is this a single stage or two stage or modulating system?

How is your system controlled, I would guess it is from a...

Sounds like something is going on with the apartment building that is building up humidity.

Could be a person in the apartment building that is growing an indoor garden.

Could be the apartment...

Ok just caught that this is a apartment.

Is this apartment, a basement apartment that has a concrete slab as the floor?

What heats the apartment? Is it a steam boiler?

is your house a new real tight house?

If not, do you have any vent free fuel burning appliances running in the home?

When was the last time your furnace was inspected to make sure it was...

Your windows are not insulated enough for that high of humidity.

Is the duct can that goes to the outside wired to run all the time or setup off a controller. I have never seen this setup personally.

If you notice a theme on this website, we state over and over most brands are all the same, it is the contractor that is the most important,

Now I am not partial to Goodman at all due to I see...

The local factory distributors normally will not provide the factory warranty for a product purchased online. Sorry just facts.

So that means any parts needed for your unit under warranty, it is...

Just because they are on a list does not mean that they are competent in multihead or branch box mini split design or installation or they are even competent to even install a conventional system...

How do you think buying your own equipment and having it installed would be cheaper than paying a company to secure the proper equipment and having them install the equipment that they secured?

And just a word to the wise.

One of your statements about having multiple heads and cassettes being lower maintenance than a ducted system. That is false. Each head and cassette will need regular...

Is this log set vented thru a chimney or ventless?

And again is the gas supply propane(lp) or natural gas?

Sorry it does not exist.

Been seeing many of those Vegas?

I now I have seen a lot, so much for tubular being better.

Yet I have quite a few of the old Amanas from before the buyout that are getting long in the tooth...

That is still incorrect. You can’t use what you had as you have a different system now.

Like I said we can’t help with diy, your contractor should be able to get ahold a a tech rep if they don’t...

It is wired wrong for what you have and most likely programmed wrong. Get ahold of the installer and have him come out and wire and programmed it properly.

It is wired wrong then and possibly programmed wrong from the pics you posted. Time for your installers to go get more training on simple basic thermostat hookup 101. That’s right they are learning...

We can’t provide diy assistance. But I will say you had 6 wires on one thermostat and only 5 on the other one.

I would say the new thermostat is possibly wired wrong as well as programmed wrong.

The response from goodmana to why they crippled their higher end units was:

From customer surveys, customers are more interested about being able to install a nest simple WiFi thermostaf and not...

A side discharge furnace or airhandler as far as I know does not exist, they all require a properly sized plenum before branch ductwork is installed to change directions.

Hvac is not a diy...

Many manufacturers have 80% 2stage closer to your needs:

Example:
Tempstar F80CTL0451712
Output high 35k low 23k

You need to know your actual TESP of your system. As the furnace just has a rating. It is dependent on how restrictive your ductwork and your evaporator coil is if you have any static left to go with...

No never seen a residential system have enough pressure to blow off a register

A two stage 80k is not an upgrade if all you need is a 60k.

Now if you want to upgrade to a 60k two stage then that would be an upgrade.

Wow, 5 other installs that day. Just for him. How quickly did he rush through the install?

Sounds like you got hacked, and a hacked job is not worth any cost and is never known as a good deal.
...

Sound like he may have fixed it.

Sounds like it was a poor install. Most issues are not product related but are install related. It is in the manufacturers install manual to have the furnace at...

The two proper places for the static pressures for TESP are:

With filter installed!

1.) After the filter in the blower compartment if there is no duct between filter and furnace. This is the...

Also I just searched for that number on the google.

All the ones that were the actual motor and not a aftermarket unit were refurbished or remanufactured.

What they are saying is that they don’t want to do it right and they will not pull a permit.

If a permit is required in your area with a hers test, then that is what is required and what needs to...

🤙🙋*♂️

When a company is only replacing the furnace and evaporator, I am sure he is only pulling a furnace permit as there is no electrical or structural changes rock the outdoor unit. So should be no issue.

Carrier, Bryant, Payne, and all the ICP(Tempstar/comfortmaker/etc) are all the same equipment. Especially the coils and air handlers.

So I see no issue with having a carrier coil on a Tempstar...

If as you stare, you are a technician:

One other thing to quickly note:

If you have them set up the airflow to operate as well as possible but the TESP ends up being to high and you decide to have work done to the ductwork, like...

There are two reasons to replace ductwork:

2.) Was never sized Properly(Very common), will not move enough air for heating or...

An 8x22 could be for any amount of airflow. It depends on length and amount and size of connections, the type of connections, and so on.
