On out of warranty X13 failures we give the customer an option of an X13 or a PSC, most go with the PSC.

I will be doing the same when mine fails out of warranty.

Trane is our main line and so far I've only seen Genteq motors in the air handlers and we have had almost no issues with them.

Same brand motor as the majority of the Comfortmakers we've...

I feel that it has more to do with the way they have spec'd the programming that they want than anything else. We have absolutely trash duct systems around here that it seems like either a lot of...

They also use Broad Ocean and they seem to crap out more often than the Genteq.

I had 3 fail in the first 7 years at my house, the system is now 9 years old and nearly out of warranty.

I had forgotten all about this thread, no, we have none of this equipment left.

It was a Trane XL1800, XL18i, XL19i or an XL20i (R-410a) depending on age of equipment. Single phase dual compressor, the smaller of the compressors was half the tonnage of the larger.

I installed...

Our last hire is still in tech school and purchased a Tech LC through this program.

It took around 5 months or so if I remember correctly. The bag was in good shape but was definitely a refurb.

Which thermostat have they included in the Trane quote?

The TCONT824 and the TCONT624 would be capable of increased dehumidification when connected to a Trane variable speed air handler using the...

Start the installers at 7 AM or hire runners and warehouse personnel that can take them their needed equipment and materials. They can then be sent to the job at 8 to get started on the equipment...

We have been using a product called Drain Solve for the last year on hard clogs, it works great.

As rundawg said it will be a 1/6 hp 825 motor, 13 SEER condensing unit. The 4TTB used a 1/4 hp 825

It's big because it's a Trane, they only have 2 cabinet sizes for their outdoor units for the...

I've never seen that model # from Trane, are you sure its not 4TTB3042A1000AA. If it is it would be a 1/4 hp 825 RPM

Does anybody have the SB # for this problem? I have an older TSC120A3R0A29 S/N 705100418L that has both headers at the evap coil plugged. I was going to install TXV's on both circuits but if this...

With a 25* split I would be checking static, that points to low airflow across the coil. It looks like the return is pretty much free draw. That would mean the supply duct is undersized for the...

Like every one else has said, you need to get that ductwork fixed. Going to a 4 ton is not going to do you any good with the existing ducts.

The 4 ton does match with that air handler (AHRI#5720611).

I would have them back out to verify the system charge and get a temp split across the air handler, that will let you know if it's the...

Installed this stat in my home this afternoon. Easy set up, no frills wifi stat that is priced right.

No code that I'm aware of. We always install a T before the trap and cap it, then a vent after the trap with a threaded coupling so we can plug it when cleaning. Most cleanings we use only the shop...

With out a regulator to step down the pressure you could be as high as 2500 PSI straight out of the tank when full.

If the replacement board is the most recent version the thermostat has to have update 2.1 installed to allow them to communicate. They will not recognize each other without the update.

If the latest firmware update has not been downloaded to the thermostat I would try that next. I have yet to have an issue with an XL950 thermostat that wasn't solved by installing the latest update.

A control board in the TAM8 was updated and the current 950 stats were not compatible with that board.

I was told that they have a fix and that it just needed to be executed.

Same as what Dave here has said, I have never talked with our FSR outside of the training classes.

I did not know that it would flow properly in one direction but could be restricted the other.

Learn something new every day.

I wouldn't expect a restricted filter/drier in the outdoor unit due to his statement that the system works correctly in heat.

Its working in heat and in cool your liquid line temp is 5* below outdoor ambient I would lean towards a bad indoor TXV. You're stacking liquid refrigerant in the condensing unit and liquid line.
...

If the load came out to be between a 3.5 and 4 ton and was in my house I would go with the 4 ton system.

If the budget can handle it I really like the 2 speed systems.

Did either of the contractors perform a manual j load calculation to come up with their equipment sizing?

The 2 speed would likely be a 4 ton. I'm not a Bryant dealer but I believe the 2 speeds...

If your extended warranty is backed by the factory it may still be good provided that you can find another Tappan dealer in the area.

It does sound like you may still have a refrigerant leak...

Also have and like Wintac, what problems are you having?

There is an optional relay panel that allows the use of communicating thermostats with the TAM7 air handlers. Your system will work just fine the way it is. You lose a few features of the 20i and a...

The TAM7 is non communicating and requires the additional relays. Just installed a TAM8 with a 4TWZ0048 on Tuesday, customer didn't opt for the 950 stat though.

When I have searched by the owners name it shows me all properties in the county owned by them.

From there I would just open the file associated with each address and find the one that listed a...

If you have access to the Property Appraisers website you could do a property search under the owners name. Check any property listing under his name for the one that lists a Homestead Exemption (If...

Have a few Fujitsu condensing units and air handlers for sale. No complete systems, all R-22 equipment never installed, still crated.

The low voltage wiring needs to be ran properly for starters. Trane has sent out bulletins stating inadequate gaskets on some units and has spelled out exactly how to remedy the situation in the same...

They also have a 5 year warranty and are made in the USA.

I haven't had any cost complaints since I started pointing this out.

It's certainly not intentional, but the way that showers move through here in the summer time it's unavoidable.

Many times I have been working under a blazing sun only to have our famous 5 - 15...

With the exception of not knowing about the grounding strap I would classify it as damn near bullet proof.

It hangs on the rack with my analogs and gets no special treatment. They are used daily...

Use the grounding strap. The original one that I bought did not have this and a static discharge took out my temp sensors. The strap is to prevent this.

It was taken care of by Testo with no...

They felt that it was a static build up due to liquid refrigerant flowing through the hoses and that when it discharged it took out the temp sensor ports. The screen quickly shut off then back on. ...

WOW, got a call from Jim @ Testo within 5 hrs of this post explaining what likely happened, explaining what they have done to fix the issue, and assuring me that everything will be taken care of.

The unit will not allow me to switch between the different temperature modes, it is stuck on saturation temperatures. I have replaced the batteries and tried different temperature clamps and still...

If it is at all possible we like to set the condenser a couple feet away from the existing location so that the slab can be poured and allowed to cure for at least 48 hours. When that is not...

What is this Fall and Spring that you speak of?

New construction gets poured slabs or well built stands depending on where flood level is, but I have not yet found a customer that will let us disconnect their a/c, pour a slab, the install the new...

I tried a Google search for FRCC to take a look at the pad that you have but came up with nothing. The only one I'm familiar with is the DiversiTech pad. According to the labeling the FRCC would...

According to the labeling it has been engineered to meet Florida standards.

These are the pads that we use and are approved for use in Florida up to 150 MPH winds. If this is what was installed under your unit you should have no issues.
