The XV18 system shows it’s a AHRI match ( production stopped ) gives 18...
Nothing to wrong with a tech making you aware of what they observed. Or would you have liked not knowing? And many larger companies do push for the new sale rather than repair. They have to start...
Unfortunately, 1st Co has the market on what they make. Carrier used to make these, but because of government mandates on efficiencies, Carrier could not get theirs qualified. Only 1st Co was able to...
TXV's are kinda interchangeable. So far, I haven't seen an shortages for Carrier TXV's in my area. But I can't speak for anywhere else. With a little bit of know-how, they can use most other TXV's on...
The code relates to insufficient internal airflow, insufficient external airflow, or the ambient air is over 90*
What does your load calc say? What does Gree's installation manual say?
T6Pro revision 6. Do not have one installed prior to revision 6.
Anyone coming out or trying to help you with your system should have Carrier Infinity certification. Special classes for these types of systems that not every HVAC tech will know. And - at least in...
2x2 Styrofoam back lay-in diffuser. Pull the styrofoam out and use it on the lay-in you want. Cut the hole in the Styrofoam and use a 7" self adhesive airtight without a damper.
Just re-read your...
Not to be an arse… but the Federal government knows nothing about comfort. In the past, most of the rebates had oversized blowers that created short cycling, too much air for undersized ducting...
Does the motor have open windings? Are the capacitors you listed the correct size for the application? Just because it's a 30 doesn't mean it supposed to be a 30. Plus you could be barking up the...
Just remember... the first step of installation instructions on a fan belt is to turn off the motor.
Newer HVAC motors (non-psc) do not like dirty power from generators. Will it work? Yes in most cases. Will you have problems? I've seen quite a bit.
Not a major issue at all. This happens all day long. Yes - someone who takes pride in their work would have straightened them out. All you'll probably do is tick off the company by calling them back...
The musky smell could be similar to "dirty sock syndrome". The bacterial growth associated with DSS is only noticeable during modes of heat pump heating operation while the system is defrosting. It...
Curious... does testing it mean pressing the button and making sure it beeps? Or by applying CO to see if it recognizes it.
Also - for every single YouTube video where the guy got lucky with fixing...
L160-40 is the correct OEM part
Was limit previously changed w/ the wrong one and he put the correct OEM back in? Model/ser # can help us determine what the proper OEM is.
Also, I know there are the extended 5 yr parts warranties, to give it a full 10 yrs, on Payne equipment. This warranty is non-transferrable.
PAYNE/PAYNE AHRI 201977887
CARRIER/PAYNE - NO AHRI

If you have to ask this question - you shouldn't be messing with your furnace to begin with. Get someone qualified.
If it is not operating within the proper specifications, it has failed.
We used to get them from our local sheet metal supplier. Lyon Conklin (Ferguson) used to stock them back in the day.
"THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION"
They actually may be looking out for your best interest. Depending on how big the leak is and if the compressor got starved, replacing the unit may be a better...
Determine what unit you need to fit your application. And then try to find a deal for that unit. Don't find a deal and try to make it work in your application. That is wrong.
"Hey - I found a...
So what you're saying is this is a 80V igniter that is receiving up to 120V and no one can figure out why it's failing? Hmmm...
I laugh... when I worked at a certain supply house, I was told to sell to homeowners whatever they asked for. But never suggest the correct part. That way it would keep them coming back. Needless to...
There are companies in our area that put in the leak sealant when the install the equipment. They will actually charge extra to the customer for doing so. They say it's an added benefit. Just because...
I agree with the Lexus to a Suzuki/Toyota reference. You got ripped. But will it work? Yes.
I'm thinking there is code about this - but codes are different everywhere. So my two cents: The purpose of a garage is to keep your car in it. A car produces carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide kills....
Every manufacturer and distributor get the cheapest contactor that they can. It has nothing to do with reliability. And this changes all the time. The parts are made to the minimal specs to keep the...
In a good share of instances, longer run times lowers the humidity and can help stop stratification in multi-level homes. Lower humidity can make the home feel cooler without actually dropping the...
Have your installer come back out and exchange it. Have the installer make sure they wire nutted all unused wires and not ran to common. Make sure there are no splices in the wires. I've seen this on...
Your technician should know what needs to be replaced. He should have tested them. Common practice may differ from company to company.
Or... do it yourself and hope for the best that you don't blow the circuit board on the blower unit. Not that that's never happened. You can call Honeywell tech support and they may walk you through...
We've seen some issues with these ECM motors that make a propeller sound on an airplane. As I've been told - this is because of the magnets in the motor and is noticed mostly when ramping up or...
That's one way to make some money. Sell homeowners random parts cause you know they'll be back.
Lennox says to make sure there are two 90's prior to the lineset entering the home. There are lineset dampening kits. There are issues with the fan speeds, refrigerant charges, txv,s. What has the...
Agreed. Harmonics from the motor and "motor braking" can never be determined in the factory controlled testing room. So true dB's aren't known until after a unit is installed in your home. Too many...
Just remember, R22 became environmentally unsafe right after Dupont's patent ran out. Not sure when their patent will run out on R410a - but better be ready for another government change "to save the...
I'd be curious too. I've not run across generic coils for First Company units. These things only have a one year parts warranty and have to come from Texas if not in stock locally.
Drywall work... first thought is I hope the system was off. And once the work was done, the filters were promptly changed. Second thought is drywall work - were new rooms/walls created? Were any...
PSC or ECM? ECM motors do not work properly with dirty power from generators, alternators and other such "manufactured" power supplies.
Scratch what I said - I posted it without seeing the motor...
Longer run time equals better humidity control. Load calc should be done.
Suppliers are putting fear in everyone because of supposed trade restrictions that "may" make it difficult to get R410 in the future. They are talking over a 300% increase in price over the next...
Make sure you register the coil on their website in order to get the full warranty.
You might fry other components in your system if you try to do this yourself. I see a voltage issue ahead of you. Call a tech please.
Pricing isn't allowed. But to answer the question about replacing an R22 compressor - you're not only paying for the compressor, but also the R22 refrigerant. And for the company to stand behind...
