They already tried the GSH13 route and I would not go for it.

The leak was due to a faulty accumulator. No issues with installation or handling.
The distributer called me today and told me Goodman was taking care of me and a new condenser is on its way. I am...

I have contacted my installer, the distributer, and Goodman regarding this issue. I have requested a new condensing unit because there is a good chance the compressor is degraded, beacuse there was...

It was on the accumulator.
Is it a reasonable request to ask for a new outside unit/condenser unit?
I would think Goodman would tell me i am full of it for that request??

I have a quick question. I had a Goodman CPLT30 heat pump installed in November and there was a leak on the accumulator from the start. I called the installer in Jan because I had a puddle of oil...

Believe it. He works alone and has been doing this type of work all of his life. He is 63 now and could use the help moving the units around. It was a win win for both of us. I helped him and in...

The instructions made it sound like you need to rotate it to prevent moisture intrusion into the motor. I am glad I rotated it because it allowed me to find the bushing issue and fix it now.

The guy that did my install normally installs only carrier and he said all units where made that way today. Man-handling units in a 36" crawl space do not help them either.
I also got the 10 year...

I wanted to take a moment and comment on the Goodman units I had installed last week. I had 2 split unit heat pumps installed. CPLT 24 and 30 with AEPT 30 Air handlers.
My local contrator...

One other question. I have some mold in my duct work. When we unhooked the old package unit there was some mold found growing. What is good to kill it?? All my duct is metal.

Rob

I agree that is a big No No. Granted I do not do any residential work but I work at a Nuclear poweer facility where we work on units up to 400 ton. We have large York centrifugal units, Dunham Bush...

The reason I ask is because I wired this last one in when I bought it.

I have a trion IAQ 2000 Electrostatic air cleaner on by present home setup. It is on the return to my 4 ton package unit. Its dimensions are 20" x 25". Its deisgned for a maximum rated air flow of...

RoboTeq I do appreciate your help. You would not believe the confusion I am having with the contractor and the distributer. They are telling me that I need the vision Pro thermostat and I am...

Or I could get this

I take it that when the humidity is higher than desired the contact in the humidistat will open and that will open the circuit from the "R" and "Dehum" terminals. When this circuit opens up it slows...

Does the humidistat need to close or open the contact when humidity is higher than desired??

My contractor told me it was a vision pro model with built in dehumidification controls. Does Honeywell make a vision pro that will work for me?? I found the link myself on Ebay. I am positive he...

I am having the Goodman CPLT30 and AEPT36 installed and I want to take advantage of the Dehumidification feature of the Air handler and my installer has recommended the following thermostat....

Which one of the 2 instruments below would be the best to spend my money on?? They are close in price.

Dan,

Would you leave the diffusers installed on the registers??

NO the 800 SCFM was not verified but there are some Duct issues. I have a variable speed AEPT 30 air handler that I can adjust. The main trunck is only 16" x 8" and it goes up 20 ft to the attic. ...

I want to enure I have a total of 800 SCFM going upstairs.
Shouldn't the Kestrel be close? I can pull the diffusers and get a reading in the center of the air steam.

I am looking to buy a simple air flow meter to allow me to take air flow readings at my supply registers and return duct. I am not looking for the industrial grade device or the most accurate, but...

I have an old 4 ton package unit for my entire house. I initially had problems with it and I had to install a large hard start kit for it to keep voltage up to start the unit.
I am now going with 2...

Will this one work or is there a better...

I am replacing my existing setup. For the 1200 sqft down stairs I will be putting a CPLT 30 and AEPT 036 AHU. Should I put a thermostat with dehumidistat built into it on this system?? If so which...

Guys,

Need a little input. I am thinking of going with the goodman 1.5 ton split system with the AEPT030 series AHU. Do you guys think it will work OK?? I wish I could put the AHU upstairs but...

I have no other options without huge expense. I may just go with a single unit again if it will not work in the crawl space.

I really appreciate all of the help this site offers. I am curious if I could place the AHU for the upstairs in the crawl space. Prersently I have a single 4 ton unit for my entire house. Total...

Just curious, if I decided to go with 2 systems to try and do this right. I would have to place both air handlers in the crawlspace. I do not have the money presently to do the mods required to put...

Looks like it will cost me $50.00 to do my own. I downloaded the trial but it will not allow me to change my location to Athens, TN. I hate to spend $50.00 when the contractor is supposed to be...

Thanks for the input. I do like the house at 72 in the summer and 70 in the winter. I guess I just like the cooler weather.

I will be honest. I do not believe any of the contractors in my general area do their homework upfront to properly install a unit. I would pay someone to come in and do the heat load calcs and tell...

Backup will be 10KW electric strip heat.

I would really like to do my own calc. Is there anyway I can get access to the software to do one??

Rob

I may have misled you. I have 1230 on bottom plus the 1000 on top. total is 2230 for the single unit.

I am getting ready to purchase my new heat pump and my heat load comes up with 4 ton or 3.5 ton depending on which contractor you talk to. I will be heating/cooling 1230 sqft on the bottom and 1000...

I am sorry. I will edit the price out. The price I posted was for the air handler, outside unit, thermostat, and dehumidistat. I still have labor charges and the misc. charges for ductwork.

Rob

I do feel better about my choice of the Goodman. Initially it would have been nice to go with another package unit outside. It would have made the install very easy but the only unit I could find...

Thanks for all the input. I am just curious, if I spent a little more money and went with the same unit in the Amana brand would I be getting a better quality unit??

I was told the Goodman units are very good units these days. I was told they are made right beside the Amana units and they share many of the same components. What would you consider a descent...

Thanks for catching my mistake on the outside unit. It is the CPLT series. I was intending to put my trion electronic filter back inline with the air handler. I have one that is designed to go in...
