Good day all.

Have a question on what the normal operation of the Honeywell HZ221 zone controller should be. I have a Carrier 3 ton single unit split to two zones (upstairs and downstairs). The...

So, the fan doesnÂ’t actually change direction as far as I can tell when IÂ’m actually out there. It just turns off.

It also doesnÂ’t do it every time which is interesting - and knowing my luck,...

I want to preface that I’m not asking how to fix anything as I know that’s prohibited, and im totally okay with that. Just looking for some thoughts here.

While outside cleaning my beach...

My appointment is scheduled for this Thursday with highs going in to the mid 70s - the “supervisor” guy came back to get a few photos of what they suspect is the noise to make sure the tech coming...

Confirmed today it will be replaced. Still waiting on a date to be changed.

The noise has somewhat quieted down now (or I’ve just gotten used to it and am accepting it), so now I am wondering if...

Still have the harmonics - but they are waiting until it gets 70+ outside to do the swap on the copper line.

They didn’t tell me not to do such a big drop, but just what I’ve been doing because it...

It was a new home, so, I didn’t meet the installer. I’m dealing with them now for other issues though, so, I can ask what my options are.

I’ve noticed I’m limited because it’s the T6 z-wave...

Hi all,

Ignoring my other post about the lovely harmonics my current 14 SEER Carrier Heat Pump makes, I think I might be doing myself a disservice in how I have my schedules set for my...

Lololol

Well, still, I appreciate it.

I called and left a message but the conversation when he was here said he would replace from about two feet above the crease down to the unit.

I’ll be making sure it gets replaced, for sure.
...

I will ask them about the filter drier, but, by the looks of the photo, isn't that outside based on this photo (the black potato looking thing)? We do not get much salt where we are being that close...

They sent a guy out with what he said was 36 years experience- he seemed more the supervisor / escalation guy but was very knowledgeable and spent about 40 minutes going through the entire unit...

Sorry, I did not see this response. They are coming out here today. So, to answer your questions...

1) I live near the coast (5 miles from water) in North Carolina

2) Yes, you can feel a...

Honestly, I didn't think you were supposed to insulate the liquid line, only the suction line...? Every AC system on every house I've ever had never had the smaller copper pipe insulated - only the...

Isn’t that the black insulation looking stuff on the larger line?

The inside has foam on it. But it’s visible kind of from outside.

They just say "Carrier Electric Heat and Central AC with Digital, Programmable Thermostat" - then there is this "The House shall be adequately and efficiently heated and air-conditioned with...

This what you mean? I can take any other photos you need. I really appreciate your help.

They are coming back...

So, now that you said crease/kink, I think you’re talking about this spot, right?

In the spirit of no DIY,...

I’d have to rip off the foam off and get a better one.

Wow - he was looking at the manual for the upstairs unit. I found the manual for mine (CH14NB036) and it says that.

I’ll call them in the AM to fix this.

Okay, so, they came back out today and tore in to the drywall in my garage, room above the garage and followed up in the attic. I admire their tenacity.

With that said, we(and by we, they, I was...

They were already out here at my 30 day warranty visit and deemed nothing was wrong. 🤷🏻*♂️🤷🏻*♂️

This is my fear, but now it’s time to convince the builder and HVAC contractor there is actually an issue before my warranty is up.

Nope, only heat mode.

Yes, I registered it and have the ten year warranty through Carrier.

Thank you. The noise doesn’t “bother” me per say, more just making sure that it’s not going to harm anything with the noise.

Hi all,

We have just moved in to a new construction home - the unit has a Carrier 14 SEER 3-Ton zoned AC/Heat Pump. The unit works well as far as heating and cooling, but one thing that has me...

Hi all,

My new HVAC system comes with a Honeywell TH8321 thermostat. The installing tech set up the "Circulation" setting to ON on the fan settings. I enjoy the feature as for these days where I...

Hi all, me again.

Well, as the subject states, my 8 year old downstairs Rheem gas pack finally bit the dust. You all helped me last year with my unit replacement for my upstairs system and got...

It was the very first thing he checked - under the original configuration and said it was at the bottom of the range 24F (which the range was 26-66F). After the changes, it was 41F temperature rise.

Update...

Tech came out and found the blower motor set to “high” for heat - believes it was set wrong when installed in the summer - or just not checked.

Static pressure on the heat side is...

Two tons / 80% out - two tons / 80% in. Both furnaces were 50k BTU. Load calculation was done. Duct work was checked. Everything worked perfectly before turning the heat on.

I’m in North...

Sorry, yes, that is correct - I thought you meant settings for the blower in regards to configuration, not speed.

Low,
Medium Low,
Medium,
Medium High,
High

I know the AC side is set for...

No energy improvements it all - he went from room to room and and measured windows, insulation, which windows faced where - it was really cool. I will try to find it, but it went over latent and...

Is it safe to run if it seems to turn off literally at 120 seconds EVERY time for one more night?

Load calculation was done - said to use same size, which we did, but got a higher efficiency (I believe the furnace is still 80% to replace what was there) to meet federal and local tax credits. It...

Hi all,

So, believe my title asks my question - does static pressure impact the furnace/heat side of things or is it just the cooling side? I only ask because for my new Rheem system installed in...

So we just had a monster rain storm here and I had to go up in my attic to check something else and see my evap coil box and some of my supply plenum dripping wet...the outside.

I’m guessing this...

Ain’t even gonna worry about it then, lol...

I made a video of this because I can’t figure out how to turn off the “recovery” piece.

Today, it was 95 here, and went in to recovery at 4:00pm...

I’ll read the directions to do the same.

Just curious why it would turn off the OD unit at the time change when it hasn’t satisfied, then immediately call for it back on,’if not for the short...

Sorry - let me go back one step.

Unit goes in to "recovery" mode as indicated by the t-stat around an hour or so before 8:30pm - depending on how hot it is outside. So, say yesterday, it goes in...

Thank you for the quick response. Still learning the ins and outs of this thermostat compared to my older one and thought it was odd it shuts the unit off at the scheduled change when temperature is...

Hi fellow folks.

Have a question for you guys about the operation of the Honeywell T6-Pro Non-WiFi thermostat.

While our enjoying the pool for the past few evenings, I’ve noticed my OD unit...

Hi all,

From my post this weekend. My 9 year old Rheem gas pack (2 ton) spring a leak in the evap coil. Knowing it’s not registered, therefor not in warranty, I need to look at replacing.

I...

It was around 7.5 when he left. He said it should be higher but likely had to do with the coil fins on the condensing side being flattened in a lot of places and the coil being real dirty which he...

Isn’t this a 13 SEER unit?

It was around 88 out.

The photo was when he was diagnosing what was wrong - and was just trying to show you guys what they were using. We know it has issues. Lots...

Previous owner never registered it so I had the 5 year warranty - which expired in 2016...and makes me sad...

Tech just got here - and was the tech that was amazing from the other day (got his name and will always request him from now on) - found a leak in the evap coil with the sniffer. Bottom of coil. ...
