I have had 2 units in an attic.

And wrapped the tube from there with foil back insulation.
The second I had a 1" pvc line...

I checked on the cost and operations difference between the 15 & 18
I'll save the cost difference in 3 yrs of operations.

Go with the Variable speed drive air handler

It's a closed system.

It has to change state in 2 locations.
As long as the charge is correct it will change at those locactions,...

I know Lennox will run the H/P in heat for 1st stage but it has a sensor that will switch to 2 nd stage at a given outdoor temp.

And I think that temp is around 45*,

Why would they install the coil that direction ?
isn't the other end supposed to be on the furnce.
That could be why the gap is present.

The opening is away from the blower so the air is hitting...

BINGO,,,,, That matched VS air handler will have the correct TXV already installed. If it's a H/P it will need a few minor wire changes made inside the indoor unit as well.

Thanks for all the info guy's.

More neah's then yeah's says alot. To much to ignore, in fact.
I'll have to let this one slide it seems.

My area is very Very limited on employment.
We have lost 4 factory's in 8 months

People here aren't buying units, cutting back on maintaining equipment.

My original question is to see how other large outfits allow for stock.
I'm not worried about the equipment out there.

I thought it sounds odd to send a truck 2hrs out of town with little to...

Would think you would have to pick up extras along the way.
On the basics at least.
Contactors, capacitors, transformers, relays. motors, fuses.

I just can't see running a truck without stock....

Would be home every day.
They say to give me an automatic 40 hrs would mean I'm salary.
So they say 38.

Just seems like alot of waisted time. I want to fix what I find wrong , when I find it....

I'm looking at joining a service company that is nation wide.
From what I was told by another guy who looked into this outfit, They don't have much or any truck stock.
They don't have company...

Correct,
rule of thumb is not good.
Some thumbs are different from others

So which should I go with ?

Haven't you been reading the responses.

If your worried about the $400 more then cut back on a couple outlets .
Lennox has been the direction you been given, listen...

Just adding some input,
In your area, if you go with 2stg H/P.
It will run most of the winter in 2nd stage anyway.
You'll get your 2 stage operation best in the A/C mode.

So is it worth...

Leave unit as it is.
Set new unit on top of it,

Someone here is trying run before they can crawl.

I had to by-pass the plug on the unit giving me trouble

Or molex connector pin terminals are not making contact on the sensing circuit. Had that about 2 weeks ago.

I believe here in Ohio,
the first 3' of the ductwork is to be treated like the plenum, and there for would have to have the same clearences that the plenum has. Atleast 1" to combustables.

Your thoughts on adding a humidifier to an Electric furnace with heat pump ?

I wouldn't think it would evaporate as much, there for not work as well as if it were on gas or oil.

You really should have a service tech take a look.

If you try the fix it yourself and make matters worse,
then will be paying more for the repair. And right now you have some heat,
