this is something we can't answer in this forum per site rules. this shouldn't be too hard for an experienced hvacker to diagnose. how do you know the motor is good?
how far will the water have to travel from well to indoor equipment? I think for radiant you could be ok but 120 degree water is kind of on the bubble for a fan coil.
I can't answer your question for you but there are tools that will show you the voltage.
I agree. nordyne has been this way for a long time. it makes us look horrible when it takes a week to get an inducer or something. the only worse company I have dealt with was quietside and the...
I wouldn't be stuck on one "brand". get multiple quotes from multiple contractors if the builder allows you to. if not make sure you research the contractor they use. installation is far more...
what was this part that the dealer didn't have or couldn't get? when you say "the unit" went bad do you mean the whole condenser needed replacing? and after 3 years? if so then there is likely an...
you can have your walls dense packed when they do the attic. I assume they can dense pack anyway. installing unit with the same capacity only gives you a new unit that is slightly more efficient than...
i don't think we can. if you flag it and ask the mods they might do it or just close it.
i always try to push customers to improve the envelope before upgrading equipment. air sealing and insulation would likely benefit you and the environment immensely. i am not familiar with California...
true. I don't know if I would do it at a farm I wasn't familiar with. I have been craving fresh milk since yesterday and don't know any farmers where I live now. I might take the hour trip tomorrow...
they won't have to turn the burners. I prefer to hang them for a couple reasons. blocking can hold moisture and accelerate rust. when done right it will not cause noise.
there is no better drink than milk straight out of the bulk tank. I don't have that luxury anymore and actually talk about it often. I certainly miss that thick, full flavor milk. it was my jug in...
that's a massive furnace for a small house. even if the ductwork is perfect I doubt you will be comfortable. how did they come up with the size? did they do any load? I am not from ohio but am in...
you can't use stud cavities for returns anymore. you really should be sure you can even modify the existing ductwork, it could create more issues than it solves. it is hard to picture your situation...
lol. never heard this one before. I laughed loud enough to make sure nobody at home heard me. I am just picturing the mouse sneaking to the trap and telling his dead buddy " ha ha, sucker" lol.
did they do any calculation to size the furnace or just go off the existing equipment? putting it on pads won't do much for the sound you hear. most new equipment isn't as loud but with it set up...
well, it could be a number of things. it's awful hard to say without being there with the proper equipment. it is dangerous to be pushing in the contactor manually. the spark could be coming from...
if it is going to set on top of something (blocks, etc) I would deffinetly use something like vibration pads. we use them on 90% of our installs. personally I would prefer to hang the unit. what kind...
as firecontrol said, get it serviced by a pro. preferably one who is familiar with trinity boilers. are you on well water? was the boiler water tested and treated? make sure the tech has a...
with all these heatload programs out there now they are extremely easy and doesn't take much time. I can not understand why anyone would refuse to do a load calc.
i wonder if the bung was cracked? i don't see a secondary drain other than the one they capped off. if you saw no water in the trap how did the drain hole get completely plugged in less than 4 days?...
I was the same exact way when I started this trade about 25 years ago. I had a hard time dealing with customers and the paperwork was a job in itself. looking back I can't think of any one thing that...
I doubt the manufacture will do anything in the matter of the installing contractor other than changing his status with them. if you have had multiple problems with the system then that is a sign of...
if it is actually free or close to it I would take the compressor and start researching the cause of the failure. also this would buy some time to do any improvements to the envelope and research new...
three story homes are tough get comfortable with a single, non zoned system. your issue is likely duct design and leakage. adding return could help but it's hard to say without being able to see it....
are you a tech? I am not a trane guy but what makes you say the model number is wrong?
there is no way for us to identify anything with the info you provided. we can't give d.i.y. advice per site rules anyway. this sounds like a job for someone who familiar with waterfurnace. there...
have you googled roof top hvac units? maybe commercial hvac duct system? you may not get all your specifics but there are commercial duct drawing programs that could help.
the problem with sanitizing before removing the debris/ dust from the ducts is there is no way to know if the correct amount of solution is needed. depending on many variables you could have pounds...
typically we use the long plastic zip ties on the inner part then tape that seam then pull the insulation over the connection and do the same. I have seen connections with tape only hold but that...
i don't see the pic but you are still lacking posts. I guess it's hard to understand without seeing it. a couple more posts and you should be able to post pics.
the tape probably isn't waterproof.
this is a job for twilly.
sounds like a decent company with lazy/ inexperienced techs. it is imperative that you start to convers through email as much as possible so you have record. you should get it inspected just in case....
what is a positive/negative flame test? we need pics. why is the closet door whistling? what size is the return duct, not the grates.
one of the best shows ever. thanks for the laugh.
where is the ductwork? maybe some uninsulated duct is getting hot during down time? duct leakage?
there are variables in deciding on the need for a/c here in upstate. i don't think summers will be like this for ever, at least i hope. it's been almost unbearabley hoy and humid for the last fw...
where was the trailer? did I see a different video or something? all I saw was this old house. I didn't think it was a trailer.
yeah, disregard my post. I didn't see the pic and was picturing it hanging from the return trunk in the ceiling. I sure looks like combustion or fresh air to me.
oh, no I didn't even see it, lol.
if the big box store isn't helping you then you should contact the codes office. they will likely be able to get the ball rolling.
are you sure it isn't an old abandoned dryer vent? the description is just like a dryer vent, from the aluminum pipe to the flapper.
what size is this? 4"?
I reset my password (I think) but how do I confirm it worked? it honestly seemed too easy so I had to have screwed something up, I hope so anyway.
since I was a little kid I have always battled pneumonia and strep throat. it used to be more strep but over the last 10 years I have had pneumonia almost every year twice a year. I did have a nasty...
does the lowest one actually thread into the plenum corner or a factory fitting in the coils case? is this located in an attic? of a house?I would get a drain pan installed a.s.a.p. with a drain...
sorry, i missed this question, i will be using a lochinvar wall hung modcon boiler running on lp. domestic will be an indirect tank.
great, thanks very much. i will look on the ultra air site for dealers.
I saw the interview on youtube. I try to follow him pretty close as he always has great guests/ interviews and really seems enthusiastic about the industry. I am in Pulaski ny, in between Syracuse...
