Call your local city/county code official. Also call your contractor and have him finish the job IAW acca guidelines.

If it's a heat pump the system has two MD. If a ac unit only one. If you change the piston to a TXV on a heat pump, indoor coil you can leave outdoor coil MD.

Contact a Rheem dealer, there is a field repair. It has to do with retire of defrost.

Both units the same, all he will do is put a Heil badge on it.

They are hacks. In

Ask to see the ACCA ManualJ. If they have deer in the headlights look, ask for refund and fine another company.

Another HO bites the dust.

He is the same tech who tells HO his refrigant is stale, and it needs changed.

That furnace has a single stage PSC motor. The furnace does not support 16 SEER.

Goodman is a good product, poor HVAC installs give them a bad name.

If they were worth their salt, they would hand you a AHRI copy of the cert. also register it on line for you, give you a copy.
Hacks will hope you don't register it on line, it would only give you a...

That cased evap coil has a piston, not sure you can get 16 SEER, need the furnace mod number

I hope you haven't paid them yet. They sound like hacks. Post pictures of your concerns. Did they pull a permit, have it code inspection and size it IAW manual J ?

Ask for an AHRI certificate. If the contractor is a pro he should have given him one. Make sure he registered it on line for you to get Warranty

No I don't do home warranty. I do believe in haveing integrity in charging a fair price. I knew a contractor who would add a XXX.xx in his invoice for EPA compliance. He would tell them he had to it...

Beenthere,

$ to put old compressor in truck, give them the option. While the HO is not looking why not get their billfold.

I hope that price includes a complete duct job and a high seer unit.

He is wrong

How do you think the warranty tech makes his money?

Disposal fee? What is there to dispose of, your refrigerant is gone?

Your Carrier's small copper tube should be insulated. I hope it's insulated in the wall to the indoor unit. It's low pressure, MD in outdoor unit.

some things don't look exactly right on that load calculation. what do they mean by equipment load

Red flag,
5 tons for 2000 sq ft? What did the manual J show as sensible heat gain?
Can u post the manual j work sheet?
400 sq ft per ton doesn't sound good.
Stud

There is heat energy down to -459 fahrenheit, theoretically a heat pump can remove energy.
Keep your heat pump running even at low OAT.

STUD

Randy, Read the instruction, if you don't have them do a web search. Call Honeywell tech support for help. If all fails call a Nate certified/licened HVAC tech for a service call.

Had complaint of odors from duct work. Furnace with cased coil in closet, took the coil cover off and on top of the slant evap coil was a lb of raw hamburger meat.

What is the name of your company? I'm retiring, I can recommend some of my customers.
Like you, HVAC is my passion. Good luck.
Stud

are you changing out the air conditioning coils?

if this is a new heat pump call the installers back out something is wrong. If they say a 45 breaker is fine get another Tech.

Tecjunkie,
don't get a service contract on a 14 year old unit.
Have a service call and have them clean the coils.
Any company you get is going to try to sell you a unit.
Stud

The service contracts that get me is the ones that are twice a year on a heat pump. How can a heat pump need checked twice a year.
Also how can a new heat pump need service? A new HP should only...

Contractor needs to address the ductwork. The unit is only as good as the installation. Demand quality from contractor. Stud

I would think quiet and comfort in a bedroom would be paramount.

Did you and the contactor consider a ductless min split? That system is to big for 500 sq ft

I hope all works out. There are lots of HVAC contractors who are very good at what they do and follow ACCA guidelines. Look at your case, who benefited from oversized A/C system, not you. The...
