Yes the furnace will shut down if condensate water does not flow.
You should see water in the open trap(gray box), if not , prime the trap with water and see if it is draining.

High eff. furnace means it is a condensing furnace? Induced draft? Sealed burner? System shuts off after one hour run and temperature not reached?
Suggest check amps on blower motor or induced...
Where is the furnace located? Is it a 80% or 90%? Has there been any new work doneto the house?
I believe he meant themidistat,which not only controls humidity into a dry house but also removes humidity when the house is damp. True most contractors won't install a humidifier in an attic or any...
I am an Amerasian and never used my minority status for job placement or benefits. I am an American U.S. citizen and want to earn my wages and respect as such. The most important person on any job...
Sorry to here about the bad luck with the 14 year old system. I work the DC and Baltimore area and based in Annapolis, MD. Heatpump systems in our area with annual maintenance, usually last 16-20...
If designed properly electro-mechanical zoning systems are excellent and can even reduce the tonnage and electricity needed to perform adequate heating and cooling. It is not cheap to install...
Need to know tonnage of eqiuipment and duct sizes to make proper adjustments. 8" Flex = 150cfm at .10 static. If it is a return....... less cfm
Been using Carrier Comfort Zone system for over 10 years, commercial and residential and works great. Hope you said variable speed outdoor system and not indoor unit. Don't believe you can zone with...
What happen to the old system? Age,burn-out,improper sizing....etc? With the new 13 seer systems make sure duct sizing and load calculations are within specifications, thus you don't repeat...
Lennox heatpump model # HP19-461-6P what is the tonnage?
TIA, TD
No your not asking too much from a distributor. You gave them plenty of time to get your order together and get what parts were necessary. At least to call you back to say if something was not...
If you're putting in variable speed system would not suggest putting dampers in lines to balance air flow or may have motor failure.
chillbilly this on the return side, I would suggest going to .08 to check cfm capabilities.
I agree with trane. Flex duct is not the same cfm as round hard pipe and the pleated filter does restrict airflow even more. You're vs motor doesn't know whether to #@%& or get off the pot.
OOPS thought I was in General Discussion for a "Cheers" revival.
Yeah,but your light stayed on and the batteries are dead.
bullshoot, you're new to trade stick around and you'll develop the tough skin you're going to need to continue in this trade. Judging from the replies, I don't think some of these guys knew that...
Trying to check in heating at that ambient is going to be tough. If I remembered correctly Trane doesn't even have a chart for that. You're in a deadzone. But I could be mistaken,maybe someone has a...
If it were hard pipe 10 would be around 350cfm and 12 600cfm. Flex duct is less. How much less, maybe someone else will reply. 10x20=550cfm 20x16=900cfm

A 13 seer unit made by one manufacturer or another is still only capable of doing 13 seer when matched properly. It's the install that makes the system last longer.
I would check to see how many...
It's kinda like holding a universal CFC licence, huh doc?
I agree with shophound. Need to take indoor ambient,indoor wetbulb,delta across indoor coil, outdoor ambient,pressures, subcooling and superheat, and compressor amps. Also indoor and outdoor model...
Dan most of my customers will not go with higher seer units. They are landlords of rental properties or transients. Here for a few years. Just letting them know about the minimum seer they have to...
That is correct between transformer and board.
will104 here in Maryland it's about the same rate for installers. Your boss is right about service techs. Soon the housing boom will be over with higher interest rates coming back. New 13 seer...
5 amp prong type with insulated spade connectors.
Company I work with installs Goodman and Ruud neither unit has low voltage fuse on AHUs. I tell install crew to install 5 amp off transformer before any startup.
Like I tell my installers, "just because you can, doesn't mean you should!"
Now I have a dumb question, "is this by any chance a heatpump?" If so, might be defrost board energizing reversing valve short or w going back to electric heat.
kcb203, have you tried Cropp/Metcalfe I believe they service your area. Please explain to the dispatcher age of system and what you are trying to upgrade to, if possible. This may insure you that you...
Definitely call the first contractor back and let them know repairs were made by another company. They may not know what their techs are doing to their customers and you may get your money back.
hvactex we need more info. outdoor ambient indoor wet bulb and model/serial #s would be nice. Would like to help you out.
I think Dice meant,"Wash 'er the indoor coil is blocked!"
Yes you are probably low on refrigerant about 6 ozs.
I have an old G.E. ahu 3 phase 460 volt model# BWE060C400EO and serial# 175662. It is being used to heat and cool a nursing home. Problem I am having is the blower motor is locking up,and don't know...
I use to be conceited. Found out it was a fault and I don't have any.
Are you trying to cool the house or heat it? Is this a txv or piston system? What is the indoor wetbulb temperature? There should be a chart on the outdoor units back cover. What are the model and...
Didn't want to go there shophound (about the techs} but well said!! It's sad that with all the training and education available to the techs, they still want to use pressures to diagnose problems.
Sorry to hear of the problems with your techs diagnosing your cooling problem. If there is an indoor thermal expansion device the tech needs to get into the attic to see that it exists. If there is a...
Thanks beenthere. Trying to find some way of getting customer what he wants, without getting company into trouble.
beenthere trust your opinion and advise. Maybe should repost, but here goes ,variable speed fan drive(Carrier}, attic system heatpump,not insulated well and new construction. What humidifier would...
Depending on the model Jenn-Air you have will determine length of run,elbows,flex duct,material,etc... need to know this before calling Jenn-Air.You should have the installation instructions with the...
I have not seen pvc used on a Jenn-Air system. I would definitely check the instructions or get a hold of Jenn-Air to see if this is permissable.
I agree with the "bald one" and due to the amount of water leaking during the summer, IMHO think it may be under charged or has a refrigerant leak. You need to get a pro.
C'mon guys at 285*F steam is not the actual temperature on the coils,just the temperature coming from your steam machine. Breakdown of oil and refrigerant though is something I did not think of,and...
Thanks guys for the response and the link. I am definitly going to research the cleaning process more and hopefully find something that can reduce the time and maintain safety.
When cleaning resturaunt equipment such as coils for refrigeration and AC, can one use a steam cleaner with 285*F without worry about the high temperatures effecting the burst pressure of the copper...
