Thank you for...

Can one of the pros give me the AHRI matching number for the following AMStd system?

4A7A7060A1 condenser

XL824 is a good stat for your system...I do think you should get a price on similar type condensing 95%+ furnace...maybe the S9V2 Trane model furnace...

You have been very gracious with your time and valuable help.
Thx again...

That is so nice and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. May I ask another question and your opinion. I have had a 15 yr old indoor Trane coil failure. It must be replaced, RXC054S3HPC. It is...

not certain what your winters are like, but I prefer the AmStd because it has EDD- demand defrost which eliminates/reduces unnecessary defrost calls over the cheaper time/temp defrost feature on the...

Hey Baldie,

I know you went to the RP17 class. Have you installed any of these model HPs yet? I suppose not much field history yet.

thx

coastal location or inland?...

What are the major differences between these Trane air handler models?

TEM6 versus TAM7 pros/cons please

ie noise, sweating, air leakage,

I will assume there is a price difference. The TEM6...

while your problem seems to be with upper floor system, it should be noted you have a mismatched first floor system with that Lennox coil. On a Payne outside condenser with a Carrier furnace.

IMO

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Your home's comfort or extending the life of your AC system? You don't provide your location, size of your home, or size of your AC condenser. Your...

Very suspicious of sizing especially the furnace. What thermostat for that nice 2 stage XV80 model? Needs to be a true two stage model that controls staging over a cheap Sgl stage model that will...

request a cash settlement...dump the 3rd party warranty company to the curb...purchase new evap coil and condenser of your own choice...

IMO

Need more information. One system or two? Sizes please?

On the Carrier you have been quoted their low end Comfort Series both condenser and air handler. I would recommend their mid range...

It would be a gross mistake on your part I might add if you are not sized correctly and also cheat a high end and very nice system with the wrong thermostat that cripples the furnaces capabilities....

I would want to see a written load calculation in hand both cooling and heating. Both furnace and AC seem oversized.

IMO

Surely not the correct thermostat for this furnace!

Probably the XL824 model..

IMO

As said, you get the proprietary top and extra 2 yrs on compressor warranty with the XLi condenser series. If you don't have snow storms or lots of trees, I would not pay extra for the XLi series. I...

2 ton HP systems, a Trane and Rheem...both have 9.50 HSPF heating efficiency. Notice the difference in operating costs on the heating side. Why?

More questions

Is the RP17 quiet in both cooling and heating mode? There have been reports about noise problems with these inverter condensers of all brands especially in heating mode.
...

:troll2:Yes you should be concerned...grossly oversized!

I suggest though another load calc for both heating and cooling be performed by a 3rd party.

IMO

thx Baldie...quiet both in cooling and heating mode?

Demand defrost?

any opinion on Rheem's RP17 heat pump? Rheem's matching evap coils are now all aluminum? thx

Mismatched evap coil and AC condenser can be problematic and lead to lower performance/efficiency numbers...what design temps both inside and outside were used by the 4th contractor? Don't know, then...

if switching to gas, I would not do dual fuel with heat pump and go straight high eff nat gas furnace with AC condenser. And I would think a 60 KBTU would be plenty for your home.

IMO

Baldie is correct. Make certain you are sized correctly and of course the best matching Trane evap coil, no third party coil acceptable.

Agree with Baldie on the XR14, much better and nicer than any of the Lennox offerings. You are pairing with a low end Lennox furnace. If you decide on the XR14, it should be paired with best matching...

First you should recheck your propane cost.

Generally, you will get better comfort with 2 separate systems. I think you have to weigh the cost difference not only of the 2 brands but also 2 separate systems versus one system that has zoning...

Depending on your location, I would not have a new HP system that did not have demand defrost feature. Neither Goodman or Bryant have this feature. Obviously option 3 is the best of the 3 systems you...
