Spent saturday trying to choose heating and air conditioning system and got about halfway. A combi boiler and standard rads, if that makes a difference. How do you do it? Happy to add photos if it helps.
Questions in HVAC & Thermostats
I need to fix heating and air conditioning and every video makes it look easier than it is. Happy to be told i'm going about this completely wrong. How do you do it?
been putting off fixing air conditioner for months and finally started this weekend. i've got basic tools, nothing specialist. anyone got a method that actually holds up?
About 3,500 sq ft, humid summers, and the basement always feels clammy. Looking at an Aprilaire whole-house unit tied into the ductwork. Is one enough for that size, or do people run two? The AC handles cooling fine, it's the sticky feeling that never goes away.
Our AC still uses R22 and needs a new compressor. Quotes are for full replacement with R410A units. Are there downsides to R410A I should know about before signing?
Central AC kicks on, the outside unit runs, but the vents just blow warm sticky air. Filter is new. Outdoor fan spins. Could it be the capacitor or is it low on refrigerant? It was fine yesterday evening. I can hear the outside unit humming but I'm not sure the compressor itself is kicking on.
Checking the outdoor condenser. The plate lists full load amps for the compressor, but when it's running my meter shows quite a bit less. Is that normal or a sign something is off? What's the actual difference between FLA and running amps?
Condo with a Honeywell T8575D on the wall and 8 wires coming out, a couple taped off. I want a Nest but the compatibility checker gets confused. How do I work out which wires are actually in use?
