I have see what you are talking about with frost on and in the intake more than a couple of times over the last few days. I have also seen several frozen up intakes over the last few days where the...

I was waiting to see who would catch that ;)

Had the Bryant version of that doing the same thing last week. Support determined overcharge, but there is still an issue beyond that. I am interested in this line noise problem mentioned above.

Agreed. We have been replacing a lot of these this year and learned a while back to replace the whole assembly instead of parts

Have your HVAC contractor look into a product called Web Comfort from Jackson Systems as it will do all you are asking and more and it's reasonably priced for the features.

What part of Indianapolis? We do work on the south side.

Yes they do. I am installing one in a Waterfurnace today actually.

That's the max voltage you should apply to that capacitor and that it can store. So you can use a 440 in place of a 370, but don't go the other way and use a 370 in place of a 440

I agree with cleaner hands, but I have seriously seen more people mess with their HVAC than I ever would imagine. I also used to work on appliances and everybody thinks they can work on their...

Jackson also has an economizer package that uses the Belimo Zip. It's another really nice package and setup is easy.

LOL, it's all good man.

Note however that I never said "no DIY here". I just tried to explain why we have the rules and how you can know who you are talking with here. I explained that this is a...

I thought your horse was dead.

Yeah, I have the hat. I hate anything on my head though and the idea of a strap on... Well, nuff said. LOL

This, exactly.

Yeah, that's a dangerous situation. You really have to call someone that knows what to look for on this.

I am glad you are confident in what you found.

The greater concern here is to answer you as to why you aren't going to get assistance on issues like yours on this site.

The professionals here...

So what's your all's opinion on the best small flashlight that you can hold in your mouth without it flickering and going out or so heavy that you can't keep it there comfortably?

Oh I do understand it. I see it daily. Anything pressure switch related is a safety issue however. I can't stress that enough.

I really hate to use a doctor reference, so I am going to use a vet...

I suspect you're going to find that on most of the other sites that allow DIY, that most of the people giving advice are also DIY and not professionals in the field. Even if you think they are an...

It happens and people understand that. Keep it clean from here on out because that's going to mean a whole lot more.

I think it says something that you are worried about it actually. Some people...

Most of the people I work with have exactly zero idea what Heathkit is. I used to use their stuff and we talked about that in a Monday morning meeting a month or so ago. Exactly 2 of us were...

Where'd the OP go? Any new info?

I am curious about this one.

Strictly form a legal basis, I am sure an individual could get by with some of this as long as what is said is factual. That isn't going to stop an attorney from going after you if someone wants to...

Yeah, you have to be careful with that. I can smell the lawyers coming.

Dirty filter or one of those high MERV 1in allergy filters maybe?

I am going to repeat that the evaporator definitely should not have frozen up in heat mode. For that to happen, something went wrong. It will go wrong again. When it goes wrong your electricity usage...

The reason you need to call somebody is that if this is happening while you were supposed to be heating then the heat pump wasn't heating when that froze up that way.

You need to have someone out...

What's your backup heat? Electric strip? Whatever it is I bet it's working to beat the band.

Something isn't right there. The evaporator freezing up during heating?

You REALLY need to call somebody.

Amen!

I think the counterpoint is dealing with customer perception issues here as to why it appeared to be working better before. There may be other issues that haven't come to light yet or the...

I am definitely in the not enough info camp. With the data given all I can tell him is that there is an airflow issue with the system and the data I see points to a ductwork problem based on...

I'm seeing the same thing John is. The supply is leaving the unit and then hitting the furthest register having gained 10° while the return air seems to be picking up 4°-5°. That's not good. Combine...

Agreed.

Very sorry to hear. I cannot imagine.

Whenever moisture is getting in anywhere the worst thing you can do is seal off airflow. That's just a general rule.

Darn straight and Amen.

Factor in insurance, vehicles, office space, tools, more tools, fuel, staff, more insurance, advertising... You don't know what all that entails until you have been there....

Yeah, that's what I saw too, but then I saw the Evolution control mentioned. So there seems to be a little confusion about the thermostats being used.

I think he missed the part where you said "The Bryant says it's a evolution communicating controller" That is the Evolution thermostat and not a Honeywell.

I didn't figure they were putting a...

Absolutely agreed. This is why the installer takes the manual. If you get to messing around in the installer setup, particularly on a system like this, without knowing exactly what you are doing and...

You have the owners manual. The installers manual for that Bryant Evolution Connex is where that information resides. The installer usually doesn't leave that behind and I have had to search for them...

Yeah, wow...

So I really hate it when you can't help the laugh that comes out when the homeowner shows you something like this and you first see it. I used to have that problem a lot when I was...

I thought from what you were explaining that this is the control that you have and I am betting the settings are causing what you are experiencing.
The settings I am talking about are definitely...

What happens if the UI is set for either quiet or comfort settings with dehumidification enabled in cooling and then in heat mode it's set for EFF350?

Isn't that going to cause pretty much exactly...

Which thermostat/control/UI (whichever you prefer to call it) do you have with that system?

I'd replace those burners while you are at it if you wrestled with them. Just my .02

I asked whether it is set up to dehumidify in cooling for a very good and relative reason to the OP's questions.

Why? Because that setting is going to change the fan speed in cooling as it is...

Is it set up to control humidity in cooling mode? That's going to make a noticeable difference in how long it runs and the fan speeds it uses while doing so.

Ok, I am partial to Carrier/Bryant. Know that up front.

To be totally honest, in most cases it comes down much more to quality of installation and how much care the homeowner takes of the units...

Have you done like was asked above and swapped the burners around to see if the problem follows that burner?
