Just watched the weather report on the evening news and Friday we are supposed to have a low of 15 and a high of 20. This is very rare for us, so it will provide a nice test for the heat pump. I...

PSTU,


Thanks. I will check out that site.

"There was a time when the church considered reading the Bible a DIY item and discouraged it."

That's funny

'well, I will check with them, because on my literature and online I can't really find any mention of defrost characteristics. The board I was thinking about was a ComfortAlert Diagnostics one for...

Thanks Gary,
I have been reading a little about the defrost cycle for this Amana. It's got a little higher end board. I'm not sure how it does defrost. But, I do plan to call my guys and...

Strangely, the cheaper LUX thermostats have this function. It was nice to just go by, push a button, and get a read out of total run time.

No problem, thanks for your reply.

Thank you Beenthere

I assure you this is no DIY. If you read recent posts of mine regarding health, you can understand why. I just want to know if such an animal exists.

The thermostat with my newly installed Amana heat pump is a White Rodgers. My old Lux thermostat had a usage feature which would tally the amount of total run time for the day. The White Rodgers...

Will do, thanks.

Beenthere,

Thanks, I get what you are saying. Right now, it's 30 degrees and the unit is running about 50/50 on/off with ten minute run times, but with a bias of less on than off. So, if I...

I had my new system installed. Amana Heat Pump. White Rodgers Thermostat Model 1F95-1277. I want to minimize use of the heat strips and am looking at the specs for the thermostat's control of the...

I just had a new system installed on 12/30. It became functional on that date. I will be billed and will pay for the system in January, but can claim the credit on my 2009 tax return because it was...

Yes, I am happy to do the yearly maintenance thing. Have done it in the past, but you can forget. So, I will ask about that. It's crazy, maybe it's a guy thing, but I am getting excited about...

The lifetime condenser replacement if the compressor fails, seems too good to be true. We should be in this house for 20-30 more years as you really just have to look at the stats for lifespan for...

Yes, indeed. I saw on the Amana website that the system had to be registered in 60 days. I asked and the company will do it. But, I will double check. Just learned over the years to do that sort...

I am very pleased to hear this. I had studied, and as I have a 25 year old tank Ruud unit, that's what I wanted for a replacement. But, my guys used to be Carrier/Ruud but left Carrier to go...

Dan,
Close, West Texas. One of the problems I had when first learning about HVAC was figuring out that a lot of design and systems today are geared toward dealing with the humidity issue...

Thanks, that's exactly what I need to know. So, now we have the flexibility to ramp the system as much as the ducts will allow. I think we are going to get great sensible capacity in the summer,...

Hey Robo,

I have a question. My understanding is that Amana uses the same air handler from 3.5 to 5 ton. Does this mean the coil is larger able to be used up to the five ton capacity. I...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.

We have made the deal and install will happen in the week after Christmas. I have confidence in the company I work with. I love Ruud equipment as my present...

Thanks

Thank you Doc,

I think I am beginning to understand about the first stage. Am I right in thinking that for the input amps, in the first stage you get more BTU or heat work, thus more...

Thanks all for your comments. I get the idea that the sensible percentage will be roughly the same in each stage. The increased dehumidification is a function of longer run times. As we will be...
