Are there any new standards for this year in the residential hvac area? And where ca I find them? Ive read the ones for 2015.

Possible collapsed return duct. If the unit cant get enough return air, its not gonna give enough air

Electronics maybe, but relays and switchs, nozzles are good for a long while. Keep them away from moisture and im sure they will last forever

Turn the fan on from t stat see if u hear anything. If nothing start the heat to see if its inducer.
Could also be a mouse on the motor side of blower. Ive had a few so far this year.

If ive got a compressor thats not starting, i can take an analog volt/ ohm meter and check to see if its weaker than a replacement. In comparsion

I use a ohm meter. Check the terminals can tell by the needle if its weak or strong. I dont have much trouble with capacitors going usially either there working or not

I would change the contactor and look over the low voltage wires, since it only does it on ac. Ive seen contactors go bad that would do the samething

Could have a restruction on the low side ( txv, plugged oriface, cap tube). And could be over charged as well if the lowside of restricting that could be why the highside is moving up and down.

Now i have took an old unit and air handler for 22 and mixed 410 in it just to see what might happen ( i got a building at my house where i did this it wasnt a customers house i mind u). So far it...

That may be the trouble setting the stat that low. 70 is a magic number for me. At that temp the air moving across the coil is so cold it will start to freeze the condensation. And put in a regular...

I got alot still cause nobody else wants to work on them. But they dont run them as much since fuel is so high.

Thats pretty neat didnt know how they made them. I use these when im in a bind. Or when i dont have that large of a capacitor.

I would check the squrrial cage fan. Could be stopped up with years of dust on the blades. Theres definity a airflow problem.
