Just had a new oil fired boiler with a new burner installed at my mother's house. It's a Peerless WBV-03 with a Carlin EZ1-2-3 burner (not sure which exact Carlin model is on it).

Whenever it...

Wanted to get some opinions on my furnace exhaust vent.

I have a high efficiency furnace with a forced air exhaust vent for the combustion gases. A short length of PVC pipe exits the furnace...

I was going through the status of the various components of my Maytag IQDrive system. I notice the compressor is showing "Error code 1". The Active Fault status reads "NONE".

Any IQDrive techs...

I haven't measured the frequency of the sound, but it is in the upper range of hearing which would put it around 12Khz+. It sounds to be coming from the compressor itself but it's hard to pin down...

I hear what your saying, but back in July of 2007 there weren't many units like this one out there and no one was sure what was normal for these. I'm inquiring now as there should be more experience...

I still have the noise. I don't think the local techs are familiar enough with this system to troubleshoot an issue like this. I plan on writing to Maytag to find out exactly what the cause of this...

rpdstl,

Thanks for your input. The contractor was at the house the other day and got on the phone with Nordyne. I'm not sure who he was talking to but the service technician said the Nordyne...

The charge was checked and the installer says its OK. They also say that all these systems make that noise. I can understand a slight noise, but I can hear this thing out in front of the house as...

Thanks for the insight. The noise out of this thing carries right through the wall into the house. For a system advertised as being quiet, I can't believe this is running correctly. Mechanically it...

Checking with those of you who have experience with the new IQ Drive systems. The inverter board on mine emits a high pitched whine whenever the compressor is operating. Its a pretty annoying sound...

I just had a Maytag IQ Drive system installed at my condo. The condensing unit emits a very high pitched, penetrating sound, kind of like hearing a smoke detector through a closed door. It is very...
