Can't believe they put the thermostat at the front door.😮

@joelperigo7213 Ай бұрын

Curtis, that first one doesn’t have a condensate trap, that is why the condensation is getting sucked into the blower compartment.

@jasonlwhite3764 Ай бұрын

They generally place the trap under the house where the line set comes up through the underbelly.

@joelperigo7213 Ай бұрын

That is a possibility, but in order to better serve the customer, it should always be verified. In order to verify without crawling under the house, all you have to do is dry fit a trap at the termination outside and then start pouring water into the drain pan. If there is indeed a trap under the house, adding a trap outside will create a double trap/air trap situation where the system will not drain. If you find that the system drains freely with the trap installed outside, that means it is the only trap on the system, and there is not one under the home. In the case where an air vent has been added at the trap under the home, you will not have an air trap and it will still drain freely, but it is better to be safe and err on the side of protecting the equipment. I see so many installs where there is no trap installed on air handlers, and blower motors/electrical controls fail within a couple of years because of all the water that is getting dumped onto them.

Small magnetic tray that you can find at automotive shops. They will hold all the screws you take out together inside they tray so they do not accidentally get scattered around. They can also stick to the metal housing on the side of the HVAC unit so you can keep the screws off the floor and away from your feet or other objects that you might move around while working. Same for working on the condenser unit outside. Never have to worry about losing screws or small parts in the grass or lose dirt.

Dont understand why certain air handlers are designed with the coil above the electrical....

@DavidTheComputerGuy Ай бұрын

The water might be because of a bad coil. I have a 2021 Clayton home with the same air handler and had problems with water on the floor under it. They had to replace the coil because it was poorly designed. The lines came into the middle of the coil, which caused a warm spot. So, the condensation would leak off of the coil before getting to the pan at the bottom. Luckily, my warranty covered all but a small deductible. In total, it would've cost me almost $1,800!

Mercy Curtis , I lived in a Mobile home for 10 years! I didn't the filter system on the first home.

As a 2.5 million+/year installer I agree installers should always test operations. That being said it’s hard to find good help nowadays and the jobs keep coming in…. I can go weeks without seeing my family much because of how busy I am and how much I have to do, due to lack of good help. I can see an installer now and again so booked he has little time and help and cuts corners…. Just a thought. Or could just be lazy… I know the last thing my job allows is this “laziness” you speak of. Also, depending on where you are in the states new con installers don’t even touch the low voltage or high voltage.
