I have a 2 ton Trane XL16i on the second floor of my house that has been off since last spring. Long story.

Anyway, is it safe to just turn it back on via the thermostat or do I need to have...

I'll try the bucket trick. Sealing and painting sounds like a plan too (after my 20 something list is caught up). It's sounding like even if I do that though, there will always be moisture in the...

Thanks for getting me on the right track. Your suggestions make sense. Couple fo follow-up questions:

Do I really want to try to get outside air into the garage? I always thought that pulling in...

Excellent! Thanks!!!

I don't get it.

I have an old Honeywell Chronotherm 3 thermostat. It appears to have some form of Adaptive Intelligent Recovery. It likes to try to achieve a temperature BY the time I set. I would like it to start...

I have a problem I thought some of you smart folks might know how to solve. I live in Maryland. I have a mostly above ground garage (cinderblock on one side and back, and drywall one the other side...

hvac-master,

Is the TSB being applied to all units or just ones exhibiting symptoms?

Will I be informed when the new control is ready for use and will that control work as well as if I had the...

Thanks!!!!

My email has been posted to my profile in case either of you needs to contact me. :)

Thanks for the info. When did they start using the 4 ton switchover valve? My system is less than 2 months old.

I also have to say that I notice an occasional distinct 4th level of air speed that...

I never lodged a complaint due to the reasons below. So you are saying that I can transfer my warranty (which was free with the system) to another company and that this is a warranty issue, not an...

I opened the two pannels on the outdoor unit today and I didn't see a white envelope :confused:

Part of my hesitation is that I figure Trane or the FSR will just have the same company come out and...

I'm not relying on them to fix it. I'd like to find another company. Can you make a suggestion from that list since you said you knew a couple of them?

The consumer is at a huge disadvantage here....

:D You are persistent. Isn't there some type of etiquette that says I shouldn't bad mouth companies that I have a 10 year warranty through? It would be just as easy for you to tell me who to avoid....

Thanks for the link. Who would you and wouldn't you recommend on that list? My dealer is on the list.

No, but pretty close by. Why?

Why can't tape be used on the air side of a supply boot?

Right, I got that. I was just wondering if I could use mastic caulk for that gap (drywall to metal). I'd like to use the least toxic thing possible. Daughter has asthma.

I was more worried about the fiberous mastic disintegrating or releasing fibers over time.

While we're at it, is it okay to use the foil tape inside of the air vents for leaks in ceiling boots?

A year would be perfect.

I decided to go against the ceiling filters because this does not allow the attic air that might leak into the return vent and any insulation from the return vents to be...

Any advice at all on the fiber vs non-fiber mastic?

Yeah, no UV, electrostatic, ionic stuff here....just want the plain old fashion filtration.

So Trion makes a Merv 11 filter that fits the 2200 and Lennox boxes. Cool. I will check them out. I'd...

Ahhhh...that would be like a dream come true...a qualified, experienced, knowledgeable professional...:)

Didn't know about them...thanks!

But man their website is about as barebones as it gets...not info at all on the filters. :confused:

Thanks for the input. My daughter has asthma so I want to get something that works really well. So you think 1 year even on the merv 16?

What about that model...that's one of the two I'm looking at. Are you saying you prefer it?
