Hardly. We bought below market and the appraisal came in $15k over market, so we got instant equity. -D > On Dec 18, 2019, at 2:26 PM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > So the new house is a money pit, can you flip it quick and move back into > the old house? > - > Max >

So the new house is a money pit, can you flip it quick and move back into the old house? - Max Charleston SC On Wed, Dec 18, 2019 at 2:01 PM dan--- via Mercedes wrote: > Follow up: > > AC guy just left. Nothing I did disturbed things, it was pure chance. > > “A” coil has leaks and

Re: [MBZ] OT - Who Has Direct HVAC Experience?

Follow up: AC guy just left. Nothing I did disturbed things, it was pure chance. “A” coil has leaks and the system has leaked down to the point where the low pressure switch won’t engage. Looks like the coil is warranty but I’ll have to cover the labor. Easy R as the unit is right in my garage

Re: [MBZ] OT - Who Has Direct HVAC Experience?

Dan, One last simple test. You should have a simple toggle light switch somewhere near the furnace/ac. Turn it off. Turn the thermostat off and set the temp to as low as it will go. Let this set for a few minutes. Turn the switch on at the furnace/ac. Reset the thermostat to on and

Next most common issue is the start capacitor. After that, a slow leak would let the refrigerant level drop below the compressor cut-off limit, and then no cooling. I've not had a set of contactors go bad, but that is a possibility. - Max Charleston SC On Tue, Dec 17, 2019 at 9:08

Re: [MBZ] OT - Who Has Direct HVAC Experience?

Thanks, I already looked them up. And yes, I reinstalled the old thermostat and I get the same results. No cooling, air handler runs and the outdoor unit sounds like it's running, too, at least the fan is. Maybe my compressor contactor decided to take a dump? Or the capacitor? Meh. At this

Dan, the Goodman installation instructions for wiring the thermostat should be available online. Max Dillon Charleston SC Dec 17, 2019 8:50:29 PM Curley McLain via Mercedes : > Bingo! We have another winner! > > > > Max Dillon via Mercedes > > December 17,

Bingo!  We have another winner! Max Dillon via Mercedes December 17, 2019 at 7:47 PM Put the old thermostat back, see if you get the cold air again? We have two of the Goodman units, one for each floor, that I installed a few years ago. We don't have the fancy

Bingo! Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes December 17, 2019 at 7:47 PM It just seems odd it was working fine until the thermostat change. Maybe try putting the old one back on. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives

Re: [MBZ] OT - Who Has Direct HVAC Experience?

What happens when you put the original thermostat on? How many wire system was the old?    The new?   there are 2, 3, 4 and 5 wire systems.  You will have a 4 or 5 wire i'd guess, but one house may be 4 and the other 5. dan--- via Mercedes December 17, 2019

New house. “Goodman” single stage heat pump system with 10kW backup heat strips, very generic Emerson brand thermostat. All perfectly functional until today... I swapped my 1st generation Nest thermostat over from my old house. Same type of system, only it’s a Trane. Got everything wired as
