Unfortunately (and stupidly, in retrospect), by check. I'm pretty sure it must have cleared yesterday or this morning....but maybe not. Would it be horrible of me to withold payment?110 volts and 220 volts

Except he never replaced the pump....just reused the old one! (Goes from bad to worse, doesn't it!!
He says now that he is going to replace it (first he said he'd replace it if it went bad, but I insisted he put a new one in). I'll bet he plans to send the same crew out to do these things as did the install!

He might of met he should have put in a 240 vac condensate pump instead of using a 115 vac condensate pump.

Female, yes. Of course, I could have dentures and a hairy back, too! teehee
So all the power issues that spring to mind have to do with the condensate pump?

Hmmm, okay. It just seemed odd that he walked in, heard the vents and started murmuring about voltage. Maybe you all are right and he has no clue and he just thought that would impress me.
Oh no, I am becoming uncharitable in my fatigue and frustration.I guess it's time I went to bed...and I'll check in tomorrow for any other thoughts anyone has. Can you believe I spent the whole night dreaming of HVAC issues? Go figure!
Regular Guest
Oh my. And on that note...Hairy, dentured ladies is what these guys desire the most.

I don't remember. Have we talked about the air handler maybe running off 120 vac instead of 240. That motor would run real slow and hum.Hmmm, okay. It just seemed odd that he walked in, heard the vents and started murmuring about voltage. Maybe you all are right and he has no clue and he just thought that would impress me.
Oh no, I am becoming uncharitable in my fatigue and frustration.
Probably overheat and just quit though.

You may have to increase the supply air runs by adding another run into a room close to the furnace to move more air easier. Try taking the filter out for a few minutes and you may have to go to a less restrictive filter. More return air may also be required. Try removing some of the supply air registers and see if the noise lessens. Maybe different registers. Every brand has good, better, best with the less expensive equipment often being noisier. Good luck.
