If it is a Rheem 13AJN, it is a straight A/C and not a heat pump. I'm not sure why the compressor failing would have anything to do with your heat not working.
Edit -- I see vstech posted above me.

They should verify that the suction pressure transducer is reading properly. An incorrect pressure reading could be causing the EEV to respond erroneously and therefore trip the low pressure switch. ...

With the UI (Infinity/Evolution controller) installed, the system will automatically detect system capacity and set CFM accordingly. However there are various "trim" settings available within...
Not a Lennox dealer, but it shows up on AHRI directory as a match.

The manufacturer tests the equipment with their own evaporator coils (in this case American Standard/Trane). Performance ratings of third-party evaporator coils matched to an OEM outdoor unit are...
If it were my choice, I'd opt for two separate systems for the two separate/diverse conditioned spaces, properly sized per load calculation. Creating a 3-zone system with a single 5 ton heat pump...
Because you are in a corrosive environment I would want the Trane or American Standard equipment that includes both all-aluminum indoor and outdoor coils, while the other systems quoted do not. Of...
Perhaps it is possible to make the variable capacity units compatible with TAM8A's with just a board swap -- I honestly am not sure, but hopefully another member can comment on this for the record....
Does that mean they will also be replacing your current Hyperion air handler? The XV20i (or XV18) need to be matched with a TAM8C air handler, and it's likely they installed a TAM8A (earlier model)...
Can you give an approximation of the vertical lift between the outdoor unit and the indoor coil? Max is 25 feet. Approximate total line length? Total lineset linear length should not exceed 80 feet....
Demand defrost for sure. It will eliminate many unnecessary defrost cycles over the lifespan of the unit. Nothing wrong with the Trane Climatuff reciprocating compressor compared to a scroll...
I agree with TD's previous suggestion. In this case, I wouldn't consider the XR13 a sacrifice at all. Comparing the specs/features of each model in the 3 ton size, I do not see anything significant...

There may be some older A1 models still in...
The A1 is the older 2 stage model, so that's why it shows as discontinued. Note the two CFM values (990 820, 860 730) indicating the rated airflow for each stage in the AHRI listing above. The single...
The 25HBA4 is a single stage (scroll) heat pump. Have you noticed if this happens when one zone is calling for cooling and the other zone begins to call for cooling? Does seem like a low voltage...
My information actually shows that the 24ABB3 Comfort series (formerly "Base" series) condenser has none of the above features. The compressor blanket and high/low pressure switches are optional...
No problem, John.
That combination rating is actually at 770 cfm (385 cfm/ton). On the TAM8, there are multiple cooling and heating airflow options that can/should be tailored to your specific application and duct...

You say a drain pipe with a big dip in it. Any way you can post a picture of the drain trap? It may not be deep enough and/or installed correctly (vent before trap, etc.). Water should drip out as...
Actually, it has a lot to do with the A/C. A lower fan speed (within acceptable range for the outdoor unit capacity) will raise the system's latent capacity and remove more moisture from the...
As previously mentioned, you need to have the installing company back out to investigate these issues. Water should not be leaking from the air handler cabinet (as it appears to be). If it isn't...
3/4 x 3/8 lineset is what the manual specifies for 3-5 ton XL20i heat pump models.
Sorry for your trouble.
If the 70K furnace is the right match, I sure wouldn't go to a 90K furnace that would run most of the time in first stage. Lennox and Carrier are both good brands. Installation quality matters more...
4TWB3030 = 2.5 ton XB13, single stage heat pump

How is the existing XE78 vented?
Is the crawlspace sealed/encapsulated?
For the upstairs unit: I guess my main gripe with the Legacy HP outdoor units in particular (which were formerly the new construction "base" series before a product line change) would be the lack of...
Consider the all-aluminum evap coil, 500-step EEV metering device, and internal foam insulation in the Hyperion air handler as well. Technology and design ahead of the copper tube/aluminum fin coil...
BL is right. The latent capacity (as a percentage of total capacity) tends to be lower during low stage operation, as is the case in just about all manufacturers' two-stage scroll compressor systems....
If the load calc indicated 2.5 tons, wonder why the 3 ton XR15 was listed (with the 2.5 ton TAM7). A possible oversight?
The compressor is still running in defrost mode (reverse cycle, i.e. air conditioning in sub-freezing weather), so I don't think I would consider that a rest. Luckily Trane heat pumps and other units...
While I don't see it on AHRI, I do actually see a THGF42 listed as a match with the AHE42 on the York technical guide sheet (can't find the THJF). I am not certain but I believe this may simply be...
I don't see a match with the AHE42. Only the 48 and 60 air handlers are approved matches with that outdoor unit, per AHRI directory.
I know you took the effort to have your HVAC guy do a load calculation, but unfortunately what is shown above isn't close to a true Manual J. Taking the room volumes and multiplying it by some factor...
Can you post the document?
Thanks for posting back with the resolution. Not a very uncommon issue.
Red LED would indicate a fault that needs to be investigated. Could pertain to the auxiliary heat, or something else.
That is a proper match (AHRI certificate ref. #5823447). www.ahridirectory.org - 13 EER / 16 SEER
With the 5 ton two-stage XB16, low stage is about 75% of total capacity. So the concern is that on...
They are still guessing on the size you need by not doing a load calc. There are many systems out there that were never sized correctly (typically oversized) to begin with. It's not all about energy...
It is my understanding that Trane stopped using the Alliance Climatuff compressors in the XB13 models (there was a thread about this on the pro side back in June), but I could be wrong. Otherwise, I...
Were you given model #s for the equipment (indoor and outdoor)? The 4ttb6061 uses a 2-stage scroll. Are you replacing the indoor unit (furnace and coil or air handler with electric heat) also?
The installer's guides for Trane residential products is available to the public on the "commercial" side of Trane's home page. Check under "Find Product Literature."
This page gives some expanded...
Technically the external driers should not have been added as there is already one factory installed inside the condensers. As for their location, in general they belong indoors to prevent them from...
Yes, the noise could certainly be attributed to the compressor operating without evaporator or condenser airflow, as you depict and describe. The cause of this unusual behavior is what really needs...
I would agree with this possibility, something for the techs to look into (particularly the electrical side). But for the indoor blower to stop running seems kind of odd, either in heat mode or...
Out of curiosity, what did they fix/replace while the unit was totally dismantled?
My thought is that it is an electrical problem, for the compressor to remain running without the indoor blower.
...
Yes they come out of the box without the Carrier logo/badge, since the same coils are used in Bryant and Payne installations as well. A Carrier badge can be added to the coil enclosure. The...
I would respectfully disagree. This happens all the time in commercial accounts, yet equipment still gets installed in an acceptable and professional manner. If a contractor reviewed and knowingly...
I agree with all of the good advice given above. Neither proposal is very professional; in fact I would consider them both unprofessional based on formatting and content alone (the Goodman quote...
