Get a second opinion!!:gah:

Been a lifetime member of the NRA for over 20 yrs and proud of it !!!

Package units are avaliable in AZ now. New splits-- first of March I heard.

I too atended one of Jim's classes. Well worth it!!!

Just don't treat your meters like Jim treats his!!!! (LOL)

edit

If you live where the temp. gets up there in the hot months (AZ -- parts of Cal) your better of with r-22. 410-a has some real issues in heat. It's capacity to transfer btu's is not what it should...

If you are tying your flue (natural draft)into a new furnace(induced draft) you should put baramertic dampers with spill switches in both flues to insure proper draft for both. Plus it's a saftey...

Most of the airhandlers are in the attic's!!! In the heat of the day , package equipment looks good!!!

There isn't an adjustment on the fluke 16. Don't worry-- have used mine for years with no problems. I have wore out a few pipe clamps, but the meter keeps on a ticking!!

Now live in COOL Glendale Arizona. lol Yea--

Jack You can take your amps of the start winding x 2653 then divide that by the voltage your reading at your capicitor and that will tell you how many mfd you capacitor is putting out under a...

Your problem might just be 410 a. It's latent capacity drops off fast at high temps.(much more than r-22) We are seeing a lot of units(puron) that are not able to hold 78 in the afternoons.They...

Yes ,there are different pitches on blades. The wrong pitch can and will cause pre-mature motor failure (not enough air over the motor) Too much pitch-- over-amping of the motor. That's just what can...

Amps of the start winding---Voltage --back EMF-- between start and run.

You may need a resistor between G and C to stop the ghost fan.

Some carriers have a internal liquid line filter dryer-- sounds like it may be plugged.

Check the temp. across the dryer, should be less than 3 degrees.
Sounds like you have a restriction...

In the Phoenix area,we sugest twice a year for some-- once a year for others-- Like Yuma said , the equipment takes a pounding here in the summer. Once before cooling season and once before heating...

I think water boils at 212 degrees at 14.7 psi (pressure at sea level)

95% of the homes in Phoenix were sized with 400-450 sq.ft. per ton. The 400 ft. comes in if you have high vaulted ceilings. Most are sized with 450 sq.ft. per ton. You can look what size a unit is...

Why not put in 2 returns and a supply?

When possible, cross check using at least 2 methods. Start with a charging chart in the unit. It has its limitations though, if your air flow is less than 400 CFM per ton(most are ) and your line set...

It sounds like Dash and tinknocker are right --air-flow. One way to check is to lock the unit in low fire turn your t-stat up like you normally do and see if you get a malfunction. If you don't get a...

Well, I think most all package equipment(carrier 50JX 50JZ and 50XZ)--still use time and tempt. as do the carrier split pumps 38yra's 38bco's 38yxa's(puron). The heil--tempstar--...

Time AND tempture acuated---- Time OR tempture terminated. You need the time( 30-60-90 min depending on the setting )and a outdoor coil temp. of 27 degrees to close defrost sensor to start the...
