Get a good HVAC contractor in to check your system and duct work. It sounds like you have a duct work issue and possible
insulation and or house envelope issue.
Just as soon as you think you have it idiot proofed "They build a better Idiot"
Average life is expected to be 1 heating season. You can have the old one cleaned and reinstalled and get maybe another 1/2 season. Make sure the power is off when this is done
If you really want it to humidify correctly check out the April Aire model 800 steam humidifier nothing else even comes close to the results
you get from that. I have heard the Honeywell has a new...
This is a fairly common problem wit the Intellizone system, the best cure we have found is to replace the power open power close dampers with the 2wire spring open power close
dampers and set the...
Go for it! I was 51 when I switched to hvac as an installer and then worked up to service tech but be ready for your body to let you know just exactly how old you
really are.
The wiring is totally different, you should check with a Bryant dealer depending on the age of the system they have some deals on replacing the complete system verses repair. Many but not all of the...
What is the complete model number? Is this a 2 stage ac? And do you know if it is the Bristol compressor or is it a copland compressor? You can tell by the number of contactors in the
the circuit...
Any update as to a resolution to the problem?
You should never have return air in a bathroom or kitchen due to
odors. :Faint:
Done it many times with out unhooking any wires and never blew the anticipator yet.
x3 on spider or spider web in orifice.
Either way you need to have a qualified tech check it out
Are you sure it is a 13 code and not a 31 code. I have had several issues with water in the inducer not draining properly causing a momentary switch opening.
Check for proper drainage of...
That is correct. I remember one system we installed several years ago where the header pit was 6.5 foot deep and we had to dig it up in the spring to add another loop. When we dug it up the frost...
At 25F EWT the capacity will be greatly reduced, yes I would say that there is an Issue with your loop system or possibly with the unit, are you having long run time on the system? If so you can...
We do 98% horizontal loops, due to the vertical loop costing approx. 35 to 40% more per loop in our area. I have personally installed approx. 150 geo systems over the last 12 years and the company I...
The numbers are maybe 1 or 2 degrees below average, but we had several long colder than normal weeks. All of those systems have horizontal loops. some were trenched at a depth of approx. 6 foot and...
In late Feb. this year I was seeing Incoming loop temps anywhere from 29 to 38 degrees here in West Central Illinois on the geo systems that I was working on. The worst I saw was one system with 26...
I've seen this happen probably a couple dozen times in the last 5 years. Mostly on Carrier units but also on on Goodman and a couple of other brands.
Wonder what the results of the service call was?
It depends on the age of the unit. On some of them they have had a 10 year warranty on the compressor, if so they have 2 or 3 options on repairs or replacement of the complete condenser with a new...
Call a service tech, I'll bet that they find a bad Bristol 2 stage compressor, I've had 4 in the past 3 years.
There is an issue that your installer need to address. With the numbers that you have given, the heat of rejection is at least 20000 btu low for a 6 ton system. the numbers that you gave show only...
Get a copy of the International Mechanical Code and learn where the different sections are. Also get the Modern Refrigeration and Air conditioning book. Check the IPBH and Prometric websites, the...
Is the water heater gas or electric? If electric it is fine.
Have him talk to a good tax man, but I think it all needs to be new product and then every thing including the labor is subject to the 30% tax credit.
Replace the air handler now , it will qualify for the 30% tax credit.
The model plug is the removable circuit board. It tells the controller what type system the outside unit is, 2 stage hp or single stage hp or single or 2 stage ac.
I had one that said the 2 stg hp was a 2 stg AC and gave an 87 code. Ended up replacing the control board on the outdoor unit and all is good. That was abt 6 weeks ago
every 4th week for the full week Monday -Monday. get $75 for the on call plus double time port to port.
You can change the defrost board to the version with the quiet shift.
We had one where the home owner built a wall in front of the air handler and cut a slot in the wall to change the air filter and built shelves on the wall . They did make the wall so it could be...
You should get a 30% tax credit on replacing the old unit, plus you need to check with your utility co. for any possible rebates that you might be able to get. Some of our local utility
companies...
Same Basic unit that Water Furnace calls Intella Start .Works great for stopping Light dimming on Compressor startup on scroll compressors. I have installed a couple of dozen of them aon Water...
As I once heard said "Just when you think you have it IDIOT Proof they make a better IDIOT"
Bad Luck. We have an installed base of over 2000 Water Furnace systems, and normally dont see tvx problems for several years after the install and once in a blue moon on the coax coils. The air...

Look at the midwest brand. I much prefer them over the Wiss. They fit my hand
better and I like the longer blades on them.
We get $75 for the week plus double time if called out from the time I leave the house
until I get home. With a minimum of one hour even if only out 20 min.
