My contactor each year the Ohms goes up on the low voltage coil. I suspect that at some point it will get incremental and not pull in effectively and not cycle the condenser on.
I do that...
I have a 3 Ton Goodman straight-air 410a 13 Seer from 2015.
I noticed today that it is not quite keeping up on both floors though it may be because the garage was open for hours today letting hot...
No, but my meter usually does fairly good measuring around 45 for a 45 mfd.
Okay, so basically you would be good with that even in your own unit provided the 45 is not higher than 49.5?
Thanks
Got some new caps and have a 45/5 that is measuring 47.94/5 out of the box
Would you consider that too high?
It is a made in USA Trade-Pro
Where was the carbon monoxide reading. If you get ANY at all at the vents then you need to red tag the unit and replace the heat exchanger or better just buy a furnace. If the carbon monoxide was...
I cannot imagine not processing warranty I mean a customer bought the equipment wirh warranty and a good warranty experience helps sell new equipment later.
Certainly for a heat exchanger, blower...
That is pictures of the air handler. Please also include pictures of the ductwork for both floors.
By the way that drain pipe should ideally have a J trap, and a float switch wouldn’t be a bad...
That little rust spot isn’t much. I agree look at the flame, combustion test, and do a carbon-monoxide test. That heat exchanger can probably get you through the winter no problem…
But I would...
How does he know the heat exchanger was cradked? That could be deadly if you run it wirh a crack3s heat exchanger. That said, it could be a sales tactic from an unscrupulous company.
Might get...
Is it one unit or two?
Did it ever work right?
Where is the air handler located? Is it on the first floor?
Can you post pictures of the duct work?
Which zone boards do members here like the best, and which dampers?
Thanks.
Is that a heat pump ?
Looking for a 2 hole unit
Some thermostats also have settings for Oil/Gas and Electric. Often it is even a switch or setting. If you check that and ensure it is on oil/gas it should reducing the cycling a little and also...
Furnace reliability... they are all about the same in that I cannot tell you for certainty a motor from Trane is better than one from Goodman. In your case, I would certainly find out if the rollout...
Looking to buy one portable HVAC units like one of those gizmos with the hoses that go out the window.
What I am looking for is a unit that has two hoses and heat pump capability. I would really...
We have been loaning non-oscillating ceramic heaters. We have 4 of them. They are small, light, and shutdown if tipped. They have a fan and honestly are no better than any other 1500 watt unit....
What a jerk. I was perfectly fine, fed, happy, and warm then you came along. Now I am shivering cold just reading that. *turns own furnace up*
Okay. Now what about for leaving with a customer? The radiator ones are heavier and more expensive than other cheaper units that use the same amount of power.
Okay, Which Electric, portable space heaters do you like?
I know the answer is none, and I know they are all horribly inefficient junk, but which ones do you like?
Which ones do you feel work...
Naw... just charged the service call. Already going to the supply house anyway, and you were right. They were good wirh the warranty. Where I charged time was confirming the furnace was under...
Do these fall under the 10 year (if registered) warranty, so I can keep some extras on the truck and not charge my customers the parts if Goodman will replace my inventory as I use them up?
Just...
Thanks for providing the manual. That's pretty neat how they lay out the parts list for these furnaces with m1, m2, etc depending upon which furnace
Which part number is proper for the Hot Surface Igniter for this Goodman furnace?

Thank you
I do HVAC exclusively now. Used to do plumbing prior to HVAC.
The brass valves are lead-free and may actually have 0.25% the supply house says. The old low-lead valves were allowed 8% they tell me.

The water heater is in a utility/laundry room, which happens to be on the other side of their front door. If the TP starts dripping constantly, they should have a puddle where their door mat is, so...
It ended up being an all copper. Job. I found it relaxing to soft solder, so I just continued and hard-piped the whole thing. As for the ground, there is 3+1 #10 Romax. I fed that into a Square D...

You can vacuum the drain line outside.
Was it a water leak?
Perhaps it is a poorly installed float switch that is lower than the drainpan, so when it backs up water leaks out... unclogging it...
This is all great advice. I have done a water heater before, and I always use the tube spigot because it has no aerator.
That said, this friend's house has a laundry tube with no aerator about 3'...
I have the following Solders... Which is best for soldering 3/4" copper to copper in potable water applications in your opinion?
I finally found a box of them, lol...
I have

Yeah. Look at Youtube. You can find tons of systems running on video even
Sure you can convert it. Just move the air handler into the lawn, and put the outdoor condenser indoors kind of like a fire place.
It will heat the indoors just fine if you do that.

I don't see what the issue is with a condensing 90% furnace. It is doing as good or better than a natural gas electric generating power plant.

Glad the tech is changing the drier.
It is covered as a warranty for the part, and takes only 5 to 15 minutes to change. The added costs is a fraction of a brazing stick or even a little Stay...
I am not a plumber and don't prioritize having it. Come to think of it, I was able to find some Stay Brite 8, which is not for plumbing but might just be perfect.

That is what I said in a nice graphic.
The difference is here it is important to measure the start wire because the common wire also carries the amperage to the compressor.

Except I don’t normally do it to disguise a leak to an inspector. Normally it is just a homeowner who knows it leaks and just wants to kick the ball down the road
Headed to his place now... will report back
I don’t use any leak stop.
Usually I leave a repair tag inside the unit and our sticker on the outside. The repair tag will say something brief like,

You are correct and will get a different value if you check it without disconnecting it from the circuit.
