Furnace : ICP (KeepRite) G96CXTN0601714A1 2 stage. Zero performance issues present.
This is not new & has been present since instillation which was about 2 years ago. I get a faint growling /...
Since having a 2 stage condenser & furnace installed last year, I now find 69 set point to be comfortable. Since the original post the duct work to the 2nd floor has been replaced with larger duct....
Just an update incase anyone is searching around for information. On warranty replacement unit # 3 now. Not impressed with Honeywell's build quality. Next one will be a General Aire or Aprilaire.
Surprisingly after 45 years of use, the sheaves show little signs of wear.
Thanks for the quick replies. This application is all 1-2hp motors, single belt drive. I only have 1 3hp motor that is a double belt setup. I buy Browning belts. That’s what the hvac supplier here...
Good morning everyone. Have a simple question regarding life expectancies of belts. We have several dozen forced air units where I work that I am responsible for. They are old units with a very...
Good morning fellas. I have a general question regarding non condensing appliances. In my case a direct vent water heater. Are there any issues shutting down a unit for a prolonged period of...
The manufacturer no longer exists.
The item being accessed is manufactured in France ... need I say more? The thread is iso or metric straight thread. Not sure, I am only concerned about the 1/8" Schrader end. The fittings that are...
This is most likely the route I will go. See attached picture of the fitting I am requesting help around.828407
Brazing is not an option (I have no skills to do this anyway). I'll see if I can find a spare fitting and post a picture of it. If memory serves me right, it is 1/8" schrader x metric or iso straight...
You are correct : SF6. High voltage electricity industry. Yes, the access port is identical to what you would see on a car tire or bicycle tire. Unfortunately these poor choice for a fitting will...
Good evening all.
I'm looking for a 1/8" female schrader x 1/8" or 1/4" npt low loss fitting. Similar to below:

Great, thanks fellas.
Good afternoon. Hope everyone is dealing with the heat ok.
I am having a new a/c and furnace installed this month (contractor finally got the condenser I wanted; 4 month back order). I want to...
Great, thanks for your time fellas.
Good afternoon all,
New furnace & a/c being installed in early June. Would like a recommendation for a thermostat that supports 2 stage heat and 2 stage cool. It does not need to talk to the...
Despite the growing pains of personal electric transportation, I would bet a pay cheque that within this decade there will be at least one electric vehicle in most peoples driveways. The majority of...
You may also consider splitting your paternity leave. I know a lot of fellas at work are doing this. Take 2 weeks at the beginning, help out your wife while she is recovering. Then take the rest off...
Not free, but included in our tax base. I can't imagine the stress on families if basic health care was not covered. I took our system for granted until I recently had to use it for a few days....
Thanks for the input fellas. I have been pushed towards the 96 Model.
Good afternoon,
I will be having a new furnace & a/c installed in the spring. The contractor I use is currently installing Keep-Rite. I currently have Heil equipment, which he installed (it has...
Right, I'll have this looked at and rectified as best as this old house will allow without a complete interior gut job.
So basically in 1st stage, there is some gas always being returned from the high pressure circuit back to the low pressure circuit through what i assume would be an orifice or some sort of a check...
Good afternoon everyone.
I will be having my 13 year old 2 ton condenser unit replaced next spring. It needs to be moved to accommodate some construction. I am leaning towards a 2 stage unit for...
Thanks fellas. I'll start putting some pennies aside for a new unit.
The existing is just a single stage straight a/c. No bells or whistles aside from a fault monitor.
Hi everyone,
Getting ready to do some renovations & the a/c condenser is going to need to be relocated. Not a big deal, just wanted some opinions before I have the local HVAC company out that...
Electrician here. Excellent information above. The amount of voltage drop you listed in unacceptable. The contacts within the contactor have high resistance & are getting hot. The heat will be...
The picture just happened to be on my work phone; different application but same idea. Two winding's connected in series, start winding centre tapped between both winding's. Assuming the same...
240V motors : Start winding is centre tapped between the 2 run windings; it is only subjected to 120V. See attached picture.814038
The original failed late last year - slow Freon leak. Replaced under warranty which was a bit of a pain but the supplier was great & helped me out. The replacement is made overseas. I was hoping the...
Understood.
Thanks for the info fellas. I'm going to rephrase my question. For calculated heat load of 8000 btu/h and considering the equipment of choice is a mini split unit, which of the below units would you...
OK, so regardless of a units ability to modulate to a lower cooling capacity, you would still base the units size off of the load calculation as if it was a regular non modulating a/c? My application...
Is it better to have a larger unit running at low capacity or a smaller unit running at higher capacity? I have a space requiring 8,000btu/h cooling as per engineers load calculation.
Looking at...
Sorry for the confusion. I just grabbed a picture off the Internet ... without my glasses on. The MIT417/20 is the one in my work truck. I have no experience with the Fluke 1587. I'm sure it's just...
That is a great book; well worth the pittance they charge for it.
I'm an electrician. I have used many, but the Megger MIT417/2 is my go to tester.809222
Attached are pictures of the unit installed. Still working great!
X2. Spend the extra dough on the Oppo.
10-4 Mr. Teddy Bear. I cannot vouch for newer homes. Mine was built circa 1920. It is plenty leaky! If it was a super tight new construction home, I would have opted for the dr90 with fresh air...
Hi all,
The Honeywell DR652000 was installed last week. It was a great weekend to run it through its paces as it was very humid here. I am extremely happy with its performance! I am keeping the...
Please see attached. From the outside of the box.
10-4, thanks guys. Just for fun I ran the unit today for 20 minutes again. Outdoor temp was 65. I measured an evap coil temp of between 36-38. Patients I have; I'll keep everyone posted.
Cheers,...
Hello Mr. Beenthere,
In your professional opinion, do you think I should return the system back to the next higher level of fan speed? Not to deviate too much from the original post; I am still...
Hello all,
We finally got a warm day here in Ontario. The outside temperature was around 82 when I got home from work. The indoor temperature was at 64. I ran the a/c for 20 minutes taking...
Thank-you for the replies Mr. Teddybear & Mr. Beenthere
I will not have any need for cooling for at least another 2.5 months. The fan speeds that I have available are, lets call them, 1-4, 4 being...
I should also not I have added a 7" round return to the 2nd floor; there was none before. I also replaced a way to small supply duct to 2 of the upstairs bedrooms. These 2 rooms are fed from a 10x12...
Thanks all for the comments! The furnace is natural gas with the evaporator coil in front of it. The unit is 75,000btu input at 93% efficiency. The blower is rated at 1200cmf on the high setting....
Hello all,
I am considering having a whole home dehumidifier installed. Was just looking for some opinions from guys in the hvac trade (I'm electrician by trade). I typically keep the house quite...
