I searched the forum, but could not identify anything on topic.

We have a Carrier Infinity system (A/C, furnace, controls). Today, when I went to switch from "heating" to "cooling" the control...

I just bought an LG 65 pint dehumidifier. I have inserted the hose attachment into the unit and then attached a garden hose to the attachment. However, I don't seem to be draining any water out...

I can't speak as to the cooling, but we have been very happy with our Infinity system in terms of heat. We have four zones, not so much for cost savings, as for comfort -- one bedroom is downstairs,...

Perhaps. I can check. But that would surprise me.

It seemed strange to me as well. All I know is the hot water lasts much longer and is much more in line with what I would have expected out of our hot water heater. And it definitely coincided with...

In connection with our furnace install, we had our chimney lined. Since then, the hot water supply has improved dramatically, and I am now getting hot water at a "much lower point on the dial" so to...

If I am using a remote sensor to communicate with a Smart Sensor, do I have to average the readings or is there a way to disable temperature sensing on the Smart Sensor and simply rely on the remote...

Is there no humidity detection with a Smart Sensor in a zoned system also?

Thanks. I guess the different r/h readings is one more thing for me to bug the installer about next week.

I am confused about the humidity detection. I get different r/h readings at the two different Smart Sensors. I know I can only control r/h at the main control, but it seems that different r/h's are...

I don't want the Smart Sensor to take a temperature reading, so that is better actually. Is it pretty basic. The guy I spoke with at the HVAC contractor (not the one doing the work) is not so...

Does anyone know if a Smart Sensor controller can receive its temperature information from a remote location the same was as the main Infinity controller can? I know that the main controller can be...

My piece of advice -- put in a drop ceiling. Don't put in a drywall ceiling!

Does anyone have any thoughts on the most efficient way to run the Infinity system? Leave it on Auto all of the time? Go with low?

A pro can explain it better. But, in our system, the ducts that lead to each register have a damper, which enables you to regulate air flow. The dampers are located in the basement, where the...

Maybe a damper is closed?

Reversing the fan should help a bit. We have a hallway without any heating source, but it does have a ceiling fan. It stays quite warm during the winter. Just be sure to re-reverse it when you go...

2hot2coolme, where do you live? I can't imagine a $96 gas bill. We have an ~3,300 sf house, and we will be lucky to keep our heating bills under $400 in a cold month, and that is with a variable...

It would seem that, if you are going to zone, you really have to put in a two-stage system, or else your system is going to be too big much of the time?

I was not too worried from our perspective. We went with a variable speed setup, which I think should cover us to the extent that I expect us to only run certain zones at any given time.

OK. I see the logic with the 2 systems adding up to a certain capacity, but, by the same token, if you run only one system, you are running at the lower capacity.

It really is a hypothetical,...

When we had a load calc done at our house, I don't recall the contractor taking our zoning desires into account in determining the calculation. He may have, and I am forgetting, but I don't think...

Wyounger, thank you. That is very helpful to understand.

With temperatures having cooled off a bit, the humidity levels have taken a fall as well. They are within the expected range considering...

As far as I know, the humidifier is controlled by the Infinity control. It was programmed to run only when the furnace runs (as opposed to running with the fan). I was wondering if there is a...

With an Infinity furnace, is there a reason not to have a humidifier (Aprilaire 600) run with the fan only as opposed to when the furnace is heating?
