Thanks, moto. My 1950s brick house is 2X4 stick built with a brick veneer and has plaster over actual sheet rock and a tar paper vapor barrier. This is standard fare for 1950s construction in my area.Originally Posted by motoguy128

It's a Honeywell Vision Pro 1028 stat. According to the OP, the auxilliary light has not been turning on as much since what ever wiring issue was corrected. But with the ducting issues, I suspect the heat pump is shutting down on high pressure, causing the strip heaters to operate more than they should.

I have a 1929, 2200sq ft plaster house. Clapboard siding, covered with white aluminum siding. No insulation. My electric bill with a 4-Ton trane heat pump is under 250 in the winter months. So, the OP has a wiring or an HVAC installation issue IMO. Duct leaks, heat pack wired with wrong terminal, not charged correctly.......something.........it's just not insulation.

1028? Sounds like the last 4 digits of the stat, now the model line numbers.

Those numbers maybe the "FocusPro" not VisionPro? 6000?

I have the same type of home.
Dropped the cash to have USA Insulation foam the walls and add a pile in the attic.
What a DIFFERENCE!!!
My propane bill has almost halved. My furnace is probably quite oversized, now, but I'll remedy that when I finally decide to replace it.

Well of all people to post just the last 4 digits of a model number. You should make it 49 lashes. LOL

I'll put it on the list, but my heating/cooling bills are not really that bad.

The last four digits are all we refer to on the distribution side. But if you insist, I'll go ahead and do the other 29 lashes.....did I happen to mention I like being whipped?

That reminds me; What did the sadist say when the masochist said; "beat me, hit me, treat me like the bad dog that I am!"?
The sadist replied; No.......think about it....

Really? 4 tons on 2200 sq ft and NO insulation..not even in the attic?
do you blower door test your house, ducts & do the air/duct sealing?
Nice job Robotech. glad you are in OP's area.

I just wish I could do more without creating a conflict of interest for myself. I will work with any contractor who is willing to let me work with them, and I absolutely hate seeing HVAC systems not doing the job they were intended to do because of a lack of understanding about air, refrigerant and sizing parameters.
Unfortunately, the OP is the one who is having to bear the brunt of the additional energy costs and most likely what it will take to correct the situation. That's just not fair and should not be happening because of a lack of knowledge in the HVAC industry.
