    Pump down mode isn't going to help with recovery, but with m-tool you can open all the solenoids in the BC for faster recovery. If you do the solenoids you don't have to worry about opening the...

    That black pipe nipple on the water heater pressure test tap makes me think that there either is or was a sidewall vent kit on that water heater. OP where do the vents from the furnace and the water...

    Quick search on the interwebs took me to the product data which says the indoor fan runs constantly by design. Cannot be changed.

    I'm pretty sure the minimum heat setting is 63° unless you have the kumo wireless adapter, which will give you a minimum heat setting of 50°.

    If the MHK2 won't set down to 63° then go into the...

    Also confused. If your total load calc is 2 tons, why put in 4 tons of air conditioners? Performance data on that model shows that low speed cooling is only 4-5K BTU lower than high speed cooling...

    The 5kW heater that VTP99 posted isn't a match for the PVA36, but you could use the 10kW Mitsubishi heater and leave one of the relays not connected to the air handler since each 5kW heater bank has...

    If you have the space for two 40 gallon heaters I'd go that way based solely on economics, because 2 40 gallon are cheaper to buy than 1 80 gallon. It's been quite a while since I've done any...

    It's a tough call since you have one unit serving 2 floors. If there's only a W1 or Y1 call when it's set up for 2 stage the fan will run at a lower speed, which could affect the upstairs...

    Early generations of the GE indoor units are not compatible with the MHK1 even though they have the cn105 plug. If there's not a "-8" or "-9" after the model, it's a no go.
