Carrier question

[mkiss1]

Does anyone have a Preston's guide? I saw a not yet installed Carrier system in a new home. I couldn't tell whether its gas or electric as it was sealed. Here is the info the builder gave me: Model FY4ANB060 SN 1906A86279.

Is it electric?

I would just say in the report that you could not inspect it because it was not yet installed

You would need the furnace model # to determine gas or electric. If not installed as you stated look in the closet or where ever the unit is to be installed and look for the rough in service; gas or electric should be stubbed out.

There was no gas connection in the utility room for the furnace and on a service plate I could see 230V requirement, Model FY4ANB060 . I can just assume it's an electric. I cannot really write anything definate in the report. Thanks for advice.

Well they don't make 230 volt gas furnaces. The # you are showing looks similar to a A/C # not a furnace # would have to go to carrier my self to cross that # you are showing. I am having a hard time believing the builder on a new home does not have the rough in service provided for furnace. Is this a slab floor or crawl space. Perhaps I am just being dumb tonight have those days you know. Been talking to a roofer all day one with that far away look in his eyes. The kind of guy that if you look in his eyes there is no one home.

Sound like he might have been a little too high' on the roof. I could only give him the date by the serial no. First 2 numbers are the week second 2 are the year. The model #FY4ANB060 didn't match anything I have, I went to their site and nothing even close to that. I'm like you it must be electric, don't know what it is. Furnace, A/C or heat Pump.

Thanks guys,

The client told me he found the HVAC people who are installing the system and talk to them. I couldn't find anything on the company's site either.
