From my GREENSPEED furnace blower, the supply goes into that transition box I described, and then hits a "T" whereby it takes a 90 degree turn each way - left and right. Installing HVAC contractor...
Basement is 100% finished. Have no idea if there is a vapor barrier between the ground and concrete, but I would suspect NOT since that was probably not code back in 1972 when the house was built. ...
Last Spring, I spent a considerable sum of $$ to insulate attic to R70, apply 1/4" foam board around whole house under new Hardy Board exterior, New Roof, and also sealed attic professionally...
BEENTHERE - Excellent observation from a distance. The Sunroom was an add-on about 10 years ago, and the previous owner had construction crew pull from existing ductwork to cool & heat that extra...
Teddy Bear - Glad you arrived. :) Understand the statement to tie it in to supply before zone dampers. However, why have adjustable (supply) damper to the basement at all? Why not have it pull...
HELPMEHVAC: Your answer is a bit confusing to me. Do you mean DEhumidifier or humidifier like you said? I already have a humidifier tied into system (whole house). For the DEHUMIDIFIER on...
With GREENSPEED set at 72-75 degrees, this house would be FREEZING because of the low relative humidity. What I want is 78 degrees w/45% humidity at most. This GREENSPEED can't do it because its...
AC is set at 76 or 77 degrees when we're home. Wife likes it at 78. :)
I have a properly installed GREENSPEED system which is able to pull down the humidity in the house to ~ 52% in Summer. Not bad, but I'd like to get it 10 points less - to ~ 42%-45% max (or whatever...
Frustrating, but I understand the rule. You can see from my 963+ posts I'm not a newby yet I'm not a professional either. What the website loses in this rule is the end-user experience of real...
Anyone have any new info on the availability of this "new" control? Links, pictures, date of availability? TIA!
Any word as to how much "better" this fully modulating furnace is compared to the 3-stage MVC?
That's the question - what is Carrier's definition of "Fall"? October?
I'm about to install a 25VNA and I am interested in the timing of the new Infinity controller. I understand it might be a color LCD, possibly touch-screen. If it comes out in October, I can wait on...
Nearly a year later, I'm wondering if this new Infinity controller is coming out shortly and, if so, when? Anyone have pics or links for it?
TB, what is the cost to operate a "typical" dehumidifier year-round? Are they designed for 24x7x365 operation, or is there a brand which is built more rugged than the others for this type of purpose?
VERY interesting, Teddy Bear. I'll research this option! Thank you. For winter months, how would the Ultra-Aire/Santa Fe w/duct kit operate? I wouldn't want to dehumidify in Winter. Can I...
Dan, no doubt this is a sweet system. Since I already have my 6 month old gas HW heater, I was trying to save it if I could. I'd consider this if I had to get rid of it as a last choice. Thanks...
Genduct, thanks much for this info. I'll call the company and see if they have a product which might fix my issue. Certainly looks like they can guide me to where I need to go.
What product is this? Link??
http://www.aprilaire.com/index.php?znfAction=ProductDetails&category=16&item=8126 If this is the product you're talking about, I don't think it world work for me. What I need is controls to open up...
Hmmm. I'll check this out right now. Thanks!
The tester gave me the 3 choices I listed. Not totally happy with solution as the first one would introduce cold air into basement in Winter, I presume, with no air/energy exchange. 2nd solution is...
Hello all, I just sealed up my attic and super-insulated. 4400 sq' home on 2 floors - Rancher style. CFM50=3540 after sealing and insulating. Before work was done, it was >6600.
When hot water...
Hehehe
You are THE MAN, Ted! :) And yes, I follow all guru's on this board. :)
Ted, how did you swing that?!
SKY, what about HRV's that don't have motors. Passive HRV's. Any thoughts to those? They work when furnace/AC is on, and off when off. The ultimate "green" solution. Very economical as a result,...
SKYHEATING, is the Lifebreath HRV the only HRV on the market with an ECM motor? Is this a good brand/product compared to other HRV's? Its very difficult to identify the "leader", say the top 2...
Bouncer, we're talking about sealing ductwork. How does thermacote seal ductwork? Looks like a ceramic paint to me which reflects IR for roofs to reduce heat absorption... That was the point of my...
^^^^^^^ You clearly don't understand the principle of AEROSEAL.
The theory that ductwork leakage is not important is BUNK. Plain and simple. If I have a 4-ton system, and I'm leaking 1-ton via small leaks all around the supply side and return side, then I...
I'm Ted's "client" in Baltimore. This is my Aeroseal numbers:
Total leakage "Before Aeroseal": 484cfm
Total "After Aeroseal" leakage: 115cfm
Difference: 369cfm, equivalent to 1 Ton and...
How will you prevent the concrete from heating up in the daytime? Your "temperature storage" battery theory breaks down when consideration of heat capture is considered in all that concrete... ...
It is ducted w/4 registers. Not enough airflow. No return in this sunroom. Sunroom is 3-sides of all windows basically, with the 4th side wide open into the main house, so heat and cold do enter...
What do you mean about the Infinity Zone Panel? I am getting the Infinity zone system in these proposals - either 2-zone or 3-zone.
One SYSTXCCUZ01 – INFINITY ZONE CONTROLLER
Two SYSTXCCSMS01...
Thank you, HAVDADDY. I believe contractor #1 is relying on the Carrier Infinity zoning system controller along with the air handler to read static pressure within the duct system and only provide...
Existing home has a >20 year old condenser, and a 10 yr old indoor furnace. Plan is to replace both and go hybrid: Carrier 25VNA HP + Carrier furnace (Infinity 58MVC). House is 40 years old,...
You guys have nothing to fear w/these newer condensers. More tech equals more tech calls. Just like cars. More sensors to fail. If anything, you're going to make more $$. :) You just need to...
See my thread I started recently: http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=786112
I had the same question. Believe the Carrier system will use the next generation Copeland compressor in this new...
If that might be the case, then what inside furnace/fan to use to match appropriately w/this new HP outdoor unit? Won't need a 60K/80K BTU furnace to stand there unused year after year. Has Carrier...
Honestly, about 20 (!) years ago. Living in a condo w/HP, and froze in the winter. Electric bill way-high and only coolish-warm air came out of vents. Too young and stupid to know what to do or...
Unit looks amazing. I hope they make available the unit sooner rather than later, as they will miss a big part of the consumer purchasing season this year, when folks are looking to replace/upgrade...
Real tough tradeoff comparing the two - in Baltimore, cost for GEO is probably higher than the $20K, even after tax rebates. Unless gas and electric are going thru the roof, the economics are...
This may be true to an extent near-term, but remember that GEO systems will very likely switch to the new scroll compressor as well, keeping the advantage clearly in GEO's court from an efficiency...
Yes. See my post #1 in this thread. Also updated signature (Baltimore MD) location.
Will the new system also come with a new stat to go along with it, or will it reuse the current Infinity stat?
Neglected to mention that I just moved, and now am in a different home in need of a new complete system. Condensor is 23 years old; furnace is 10 yrs old (single speed). Probably oversized too...
~10K for furnace (95+ %), AC (or HP depending on my chat w/contractor) + electronic filter system or MACA. In the ballpark with the newer system coming out? Last system I installed was back in 2001...
Hmmm. Hope it comes out earlier than that...
Anyone know when Carrier will be coming out with their newer 23+ SEER AC/HP? Weeks, months, years? Looking @ this: http://www.westinghousehvac.com/wh23srac.asp Got to think Carrier will be coming...
