I think a 3 ton would better fit the load of the house and a right sized piece of equipment will do better with humidity removal, comfort and efficiency.

Its somewhat common to size ductwork for...

It’ll probably be sized right for first stage and will likely never go to second stage anyway. I’d go 3 ton 2 stage if I had to use a package heat pump, if a split system is possible I’d probably go...

Yes, I have several systems set up this way. I have 4 at one house set up that way with hydronic coils on top of the air handlers with NEST thermostats controlling the heat pumps and boiler, NEST is...

Aeroseal?

I don’t work for the school district but my shop is directly across the street from the districts physical plant. I can say that they do not do much other than filters, belts, cleaning coils/towers...

There’s e neat makeup add on your recent post.

It’s likely an algorithm that targets certain posts. It’ll get “better” with time LOL.870447

Looks like B vent, they probably replaced an 80%er with a 90 and orphaned the water heater.

I have several inverters that meet the federal tax credit thresholds.

The IRA is such a poorly written law that I don’t even want to discuss it.

Inverter technology is not new and is better...

But they’re marketing to a market of techs that likely already has 47 1/4vcrts and 37 5/16vcrts.

Probably on the wrong com port on your laptop. Did you have multiple usb ports on the laptop?

Me too

Seems to be the way of the world these days.

Whenever I go to pick up a warranty part, which is quite often, I make it a point to tell them that the warranty timer was bad on this one.

Residential multi-family new construction and they used window units?

Seems like a tower and water source heat pumps would be a better choice but window shakers are relatively cheap to replace.

What is the humidity setpoint for the Honeywell whole house dehumidifier?

My guess is that the system is not commissioned/set up properly but it would take a knowledgeable tech on site to do...

I agree.

What about when these A2Ls come out and they change to ACME or left hand threaded fittings? Gonna need another set of tools. Gotta keep switching up so the dollars keep flowing.

I like it!

I think for the very limited amount of time you would need the electric auxiliary it is a no brainer to go heat pump with electric aux, for your house where you’re maintaining temperature all the...

But if you buy a media filter we will wave the activation fee.

Last time I went to buy a new phone for one of my kids the girl told me she could only sell me the phone if I bought 3 accessories...

Spray foaming the roof deck would be your best option because you’re making the leakage between the attic and house a non issue since the attic is now considered conditioned or semi-conditioned...

I’m stil here as well, Yuengling is my jam, keeps me somewhat distracted, hydrated and flushed and has good flavor for a lager. I also know what to expect in the morning by the amount I consume...

I don’t get it, if GM, Ford etc are gonna get 75-100+K for a truck why can’t think make the SOB bulletproof off the assembly line? Probably something to do with government emissions mandates or...

If the gas is good and still in the system then I’d recover and reuse the r22. A lot of companies don’t have any virgin R22 because they chose not to buy it anymore so he may not have any to top off...

If you have one port with 2 indoors attached then those 2 heads will act as 1 indoor unit. You’ll have to wire those two heads as one.

I would call Samsung tech service to see how best to...

If it were then I’d add some supco88 in there and it’ll be fine, especially on a semi close coupled system.

If the refrigerant in the current system is unusable or gone then sure, pick your poison. I’d probably go with r407c since the new compressor will have POE oil in it. That’s just me, I chose to use...

My BIL is a mechanic and has been a die hard Chevy guy forever, he bought a new truck a year ago and went with the F150 King Ranch because of his experience working on the Silverado's versus the...

The inverter board usually has an aluminum finned heat sink that’s in an air cooled area of the outdoor unit. The board is attached to the heat sink with a heat sink paste between the heat sink and...

Looks like a Trion Air Bear

When we say the 3m filters are bad we are talking about the 1” high allergen filtrete filters, not necessarily their 4-5” media filters. Only way to know if any filter is good, bad or ok is to test...

If the media filter box says Honeywell on it then use the Honeywell filter for that box, if it says Aprilaire then use the Aprilaire filter for that box etc etc. I’d stick with merv 11 and not any...

Is it the inverter drive board or the main PCB? What brand VRF system is it?

Exactly, duct tape is not for ducts. It’s for making stuff stay that won’t stay temporarily and wd40 is for making stuff move that won’t move temporarily.

I’ll go to my grave saying that polyken...

The 2 ton outdoor is not expensive compared to others, it’s a band and a half band. The 14.3seer2 straight ac is less than a couple hundred less than that, 14.3 heat pump is a couple hundo more.
...

The 821 will throw 20+ feet at the cfm and the 682’s depending on size will throw about half that one. It’ll be fine. I didn’t just cobble it together, I built the duct system based on the available...

Been too cold to grill so I’ve been cooking on the cast iron skillet on the stove. Low temp butter with a hot sear is delicious for fatty cuts. Haven’t taken any pics lately but we’ve been eating...

It’s a JCI HMH72B24 minisplit style non communicating inverter/modulating heat pump.

I don’t know why I didn’t just 90 and go straight out with a basket hanger, I think I was thinking of myself...

It’s screwed to the square tubing

About 40% less than what we would normally charge for a similar job and they’ll give us a donation receipt for tax purposes for some of what it would actually cost. I thoroughly enjoy helping out...

Not sure if this is really WOP worthy but I worked with what I had. It’s a 2 ton inverter heat pump with 5KW strips. It’s for a local non profit soup kitchen. Everything I used except for the uni...

I’d call them and voice your concerns but not in a way that suggests you’re entitled to something. Just ask them if they can send a senior tech out to asses the system and see if there is anything...

Yeah, something like 85% of hvac systems are replaced due to catastrophic failure which results in knee jerk decisions by the homeowner based on limited information provided by the salesperson. It’s...

You need to downsize the btu rating of the furnace to gain comfort, efficiency and reduced noise. Furnaces are almost always 100%+ oversized and with the new flimsy furnaces produced today and the...

2 stage will make your utility bill go up because it’s for comfort not efficiency but It shouldn’t if you went from 80%AFUE to 96%AFUE.

The furnace was likely never set up and commissioned...

Stole this quote from another thread similar to yours.

I have installed one 2 stage furnace with comfortbridge and there was no way to connect a 2 stage thermostat.

I have 2 scientific wild ass guesses.

The system has a bypass damper that goes from supply directly into return (to relieve pressure when only one zone is calling) that is stuck open.

And/or...

I don’t trust any other technicians diagnostics so I can’t answer the first question.

To answer the second, if your house was built after your moms they possibly could’ve cut costs by adjusting...

Stay on them about it, they’re just trying to ride out their 1 year new home warranty.
