you are saying that to cool our homes the heat pump absorb heat from outside and then heat up our rooms ,how ? if the temperature outside is in minus degrees.

So I can run a small generator (like a portable Westinghouse 2200 invertor generator) to power my Furion 15K RV roof AC, what is the difference between a Hard Start kit, a Soft Start kit, and an EZ start, for my 15K RV roof AC unit. On my last RV, the manufacture (Dometic) they just sent me an additional capacitor and they told me to never install an EZ start kit.

Is this model still being sold? I only see two Carrier Infinity air conditioners listed on the Carrier web site.

AND

Just had someone try and charge $500 to replace a hard start kit. What does the part cost, $20? Crazy

Why would anyone pay $300-$500 to install a $30 part?? Any homeowner can diy it pretty easy

very good information! I learned a lot and have several options now where I thought we only had one, eg get a second unit for upstairs. thank you!!

F#%× Carrier

Wow, very helpful. Clear explanation of different kinds of a/c units. Many thanks...

Do any display the words Stage or STAGE

First video I have found that shows the contractor using a respirator and/or face mask. Also first video that actually explained the pros and cons of each tool they use and why and how they use these tools as well as their options based on your duct system.

I have a home built in 1956. The duct systems are metal, much different than today's modern homes. I was told by a company here in So. California that it was not recommended because they would be damaged. How much truth is there in that statement. I would like to clean the ducts in my home. Thank you.

help i have a window units and my parents can tget me one

Was kind of hoping to also see an explanation about portable vs "installed" ones (idk the terminology); I live in a rental place and cannot just decide to have an air conditioner installed. I heard that there are portable ones where you put the hose through the window, but they make a lot of noise? I'm not too familiar with them. Or if there's other solutions since there's lots of insects around here. If I put the hose through the window I'm sure to have a lot of wasps and mosquitos come and visit and if its very noisy I'll have neighbours who come and pay me a visit... I live in the Netherlands and know nobody personally with air conditioning, but I live on the top floor of a very old building and its poorly isolated. Combine that with the heat my neighbours produce that rises up to here and it just gets really uncomfortable, 36 degrees celsius at night sometimes (while for us, like 18 or less is normal). Just trying to figure out my options before I make a purchase I regret, but we've only just started to get summery weather and it shot up 7 degrees, from 20 to 27 and I already can't stand the heat xD Anyway thanks for this explanation but I don't think it'll help me much with what I'm looking for.

Is this the…S9V2 😂

Hi guys. What’s the best efficient way to cool a room to 7c during night then 18 in the day?

I would not take the BTU or EER ratings of portable air conditioners seriously. The single duct units are horribly flawed in design, and their actual BTU delivery is often only 60% of the rated amount. The DOE made them re-rate their outputs separately from the old ASHRAE BTU numbers not too long ago. My "12,000 BTU" portable AC was a joke and couldn't cool the living room down more than 5 degrees F at full blast, whereas my 12,000 BTU mini split barely needs to even turn on at the lowest setting and has no problem cooling on hot days.

We have recently moved to a new house but now in summer at an average temperature of 45 degree Celsius every wooden door and furniture in our house have gotten cracks joints losses and intense damage is this due to high humidity or low humidity 😢??

My blower fan “hits” hard when it is cycled on. (Think; every time the AC cycles on at night, it wakes me up) Can a hard start kit be installed on the blower fan capacitor to help soften the startup ?

Can you go over how to shut an old furnace off? I have a switch " on, off, fan" i turned it to off. I have black knob that says on, off and pilot. I can turn that from on to pilot but not past it to off. Any suggestions?

How much do you charge for a standard ranch style home of 1200 SF, with easy access to the furnace? Ball Park.

How do you keep a whole home humidifier from creating mold inside the HVAC system

I actually took back my like based on your misinformation or lack of understanding

Ok so ..That ANd.... was killing me Ok But I liked the fact that u.. ok gave me info b4 u asked ok.. Simmer down on the AND.. OK And Dont make that your thing Ok..😊 (And...) my portable unit Has everything from heat to dehumidifier Ps a concrete tub under a 2x4 stand w plywood gives u a flat 5 gallons to drain and that's plenty for the day And that includes Florida

67% humidity in my house at the time . But my house doesn’t really have that many open areas to suck air in

As a HVAC tec, I approve this video. We’ll done on this video. This is a very accurate explanation of what these are used for.

Is a carrier 2 or 2.5 ton less efficient when it in the dehumidify mode?😊

Thanks all!

So easy to understand, thank you!

Great video! Thanks for all the information. I'm tired of keeping the fan on full blast just to fall asleep during the summer. Bedroom is above a garage

Any video on how to replace the filter of this unit ?

I have one room that is always hotter than the rest of the house….. should I have the duct size changed

not a review, but an infomercial.

Great video

My landlord here in Houston has 65-70% humidity in the house?

With so many modern designs for home thermostats, I wonder why these ones look like from 1995 :/

These kits are a band-aid for compressors with start issues. That's the reason manufacturers don't design compressors with them. I have two 2 ton compressors going strong 21 years. I did try one kit and it did in fact reduced LRA and light dimming at start-up. However it added another point of failure which it did fain within in a year. Haven't looked back since... There is no better mousetrap and snake oil is for fools money.

Do I need a 3-1 hard start kit? What is best HS kit for standard residential AC?

Why does the mini split lineset need to be ran through the outside ? Can’t they just be ran through attic and into the wall?

I have a 3 story town home. the 3rd floor is 15 degrees warmer in the Summer and 15 degrees colder in the winter that the 2nd floor and 17 degree different than the finished basement. The 3rd floor doesn't get enough air to blow out a match and not enough air to feel from any of the vents. The dampers have been checked the returns have been checked and the insulation has been checked and inspected. We replaced the system about 8 years ago and have it inspected every winter and Summer. We investigated having zoning installed and even contracted to have a company update our system to put in electronic dampers. But that very bin=g supposedly reputable company never bothered to show up to do the install. Since then We have been told by other companies that we need to just accept the temp differences and that's the way it is. we have a 3,000 sq ft town home with 3 floors and a 3 ton Carrier system. during the summer and winter the 3rd floor ( where the bedrooms are its miserable) at least in the winter we can add blankets but all summer long its a sweat box. Am I wrong in thinking there MUST be a solution?

What are the various indoor electric heat pumps?

Thank yout

I thought the xr16 was it two stage

Great informative video. I have a friend who does HVAC tell me with an air purification system, you can also install a UV light. With this system, would you recommend an additional UV light or is it not needed? Also, the main benefit to this is to reduce allergens. One reason I am looking into purchasing one, is I’ve been told these systems reduce household dust. Therefore, reducing the amount of cleaning a home owner needs to do. Can you confirm, if I can expect a cleaner home after installation? Thank you

I used Fire & Ice (Corona, California) for the first time last week, to service my parents’ HVAC system. I was really pleased with them. I live in a double wide mobile home near parents’ home, and have been having a problem with dampness in the crawl space under my home. The home is set in a permanent foundation made of cinder blocks. There is no vents to the crawl space, just the entrance through a hinged door, like a storm shelter. The underneath is held up by the piers. I have lived here for 5 years, and since last winter, I’ve been getting a horrible smell coming into my house- musty, is the best is to describe it. I smell it more when I sniff down by the floor registers, which I keep covered with magnetic covers when I’m not using the heater or AC. I had the moisture barrier repaired under the house, hoping that would help, and on nice days, I hook open the crawl space door, and run a 12” industrial fan to try to push ventilation under the house. Will duct cleaning help this?

This is good information 🎉

How often is it recommended to dust clean?

I have a dug out basement little venting in my home right now in may its 76! When i turn on ac goes down to 50-55

Can you recommend any contractor can check, suggest and actually do a good job in NJ?
