I was going to add my two cents but these guys got it all. Great input. A lot of very well seasoned smart guys come here.
After doing everything you did I would think it could be starving for air. If sealed i would try and open it up and see if you lose flame, I have had problems with 90' if not mounted near level ....
It could, but the intake air cools it, and the lower the intake air the better chance it will not trip. I would just add one thing make sure you have good airflow. no dirty filters , and it will not...
Go back with some duct tape you are getting water in the area of the mod. i get tons of calls in rain storms the day after and all my repeated call were water related
from the perspective of a owner that is really excessive. i would bet thats one out 100 companies would do that. Add it up -6 installers 8 Service tech's or dbl it. now i question what that company...

As a 75% res guy I can't totally disagree I will meet your opinion 1/2 way. please see my point . Anything can be repaired and fixed, but should it ? With state and federal incentives buying new...

I don't want to get into it but I so disagree with some points made here . not worth the battle so I will leave it alone. My question is for HVAV folks that are responsible for paying bills. What...
Personally i think your vent temps are too high. The cause may be a over firing furnace. , long run on venting , too many bends in venting. restricted air flow , high static. I think a static check...

Here's my question/ then comment. When i was doing my research on smoking as I was building a large smoker for a interest I had for smoking and or opening up a BBQ place I came across this stumbling...
California is behind the curve in growth, because of obvious reasons obvious to everyone except liberal voters . Not understanding of that? I can say this in my little res company could do 2 instals...
BBQ is kind of funny when it comes to stuff like asking for a receipt . I caught about 3 hours of BBQ pitmasters on TV last night and it's fresh on my mind. There just is not a lot of variation in...
Easy fix a quaffed HVAC Tech will make short work out of that. call a pro. It's not what you think
To me i would not run two filters as if you forget to clean or replace them the system might have air flow problems . That means the compressor will be stressed. The short cycling you speak of could...

I know this depends on your area however in most cases in a kitchen they use coolers and use air intakes to make up for the hoods that are sucking out air. If you are coretly replacing displaced air...
It is a older unit that has a rusted out pan. Most of the time it can not be rerpaired at a reasonable rate. A new system would be in your best interest.
Well, as a company that installs one new system a day we see a lot of different configurations of systems. Just from the top of my head I think your return is bringing in Attic air or air from an...
