Hello-
I have been a member here for a few months now. I live in Florida, I work in the work HVAC business(tech). My mother lives South of syracuse area and she needs a new oil furnace. She has...

Evergreen motors are good ecm type for air handlers (i 've installed a few). They are having a time getting past the safety features of a furnace. From my understanding they have been working on the...

your outside unit will start with a "PA or PH"

Well-
In theory your idea is good. But, your gearing up for a bunch of work your about to do and to tell you the truth -----it won't work. Unless one of your rooms is the size of a small bathroom...

Do not know much about York-
I would go with the aprilaire filtration system and the uv light. It is worth the investment and your indoor air quality.

As far as the zone system they are great...

Hire a contractor--
Be sure that they test for Carbon Monoxide and ask what the ppm are. Make sure that they test every burner not just the system as a hole. They should be drilling holes in the...

I was thinking the same thing bet he bought a unit online thinking he was saving $$$ well i guess he is if it was than the bid price.

GREAT!!! Now I have to go to the store and get some ding dongs or ho-ho's and a mountain dew.

If you tell me how much your utility company charges per kilowatt. What type of unit you are intrested in (brand name, seer rating etc) I can tell you what it will cost to operate per month, under...

We would need a bit more information--

How old is your unit
How much insulation R-19. R-30, none
How about windows
Where do you live
What do you set you T-stat to
How old is your house...

Make sure you read your local code. They get a bit funny about things like that. For instance here in Florida, I have to have a min. of 1" of clearance(gap) between the primary house drain and the...

Did the first guy. Flush the system after he changed the drier and valve? May need to just change the drier again. But--- get a realiable tech there that speaks more than HVACESE and can explain it...

The 3 burners on Trane represents 20k BTUH per burner Downstairs you have a 60K BTUH furnace hence the 3 burners--4 burners 80k BTUH.

Carriers burners represent 25k BTUH per burner.

They did...

match the system.

check into your insurance too.

As far as the Manual J--You can play with the numbers to get anything you want.

Is fan secured properly? Also is the unit level ? A slight vibration on the decking may transfer through the duct system.

I don't agree--but, "the customer is the customer-- the customer my not be right buttttt--the customer is the customer."

As far as replacing the valves. Do it! As stated earlier -there is good $$...

thanks for the info I'll look into getting those blades!

I cut out the coils and copper. remove refridg. all flat metal and compressors I sell for general weight at the metal yard. The copper and coils I sell to the metal yard too. You get more $$ for #1...

Another benifit that I have seen with 2 systems is cost savings in running them. If you have a 4 to 5 ton unit coming on everytime a zone calls for air it is using a lot of energy to run that system...

Your not talking about that 10 ton super boost:eek: that the last tech left just hanging there because there was no room in the cabinet to mount it properly.:D

Yeah you don't want to get zapped with 208/230 that will set you back a bit. Do yourself a favor and call a pro!

You got that right!!! I would be running to that one. And if it is in the attic. SPRINTING to it--Don't wanna buy sheetrock and a paint job for anyone.

After your installing contractor fixes your drain problem. (Sounds like your Coil is not "level" in the air-handler. Or the primary pan is cracked. Or connections in your pvc is not tight.) Have them...

Thanks-
That says a lot. Propane that explains a bunch. If you do go to Natural gas keep in mind that you will need a conversion kit for your furnace before using the Natural gas.

Your HVAC contractor should be able to tell you about your duct sizing. It is just a matter of a quick calc. I would think they already know but do ask them and voice your concerns.
As far as...
