I do not see anything to catch the condensation, also is that a filter half across the coil? just had sec to look Charlie i will be back

cbottger · February 17, 2012, 10:40pm

There is a condensation pan beneath the coil no not a filter across the coil either . Return air filters are in the hall ceiling hurry back I don’t want you to loose your CMI designation this is a test;-)

wwilson3 · February 17, 2012, 10:44pm

LOL if i was blind i would say the coil is in wrong , I am still puzzled what that the grill type material is on the coil to the right? bouncing back and forth ( i least i am trying ) lol

I am not giving the answer yet waiting for your CMI brothers to jump in so I can take all the strips away at once Oh this is not the military cannot take strips away:D:D Nick is the big dog he is the master master inspector get him over here he should see it within 30 seconds

cbottger · February 17, 2012, 10:59pm

I know,I know!!

Wrong color wire identification!

Won’t stay running a year that way!!

Or maybe it will run backwards!?

???

cbottger · February 17, 2012, 11:23pm

Coil on wrong side…

ggoldston · February 18, 2012, 12:29am

What size is that return flex duct ? also that ref. piping looks on the small side for a 5 ton system.
Here in Florida we are required to have a secondary pan that covers complete unit…with safety switch

cbottger · February 18, 2012, 12:33am

Nope no problem there thanks for ya try WE need Nick WE need Nick he is the problem solver:D:D

belliott · February 18, 2012, 12:36am

Charlie …off topic but could you please chime in on this when you have time…http://www.nachi.org/forum/f20/furnace-and-water-heater-venting-69250/

cbottger · February 18, 2012, 12:37am

We do need to do that I have been reducing horse herd down to 10 from 37 got two more to sell. Need Carl to smoke some more meat and have a gathering

Did they use a boot mat tray for the secondary pan?

This might have been better:

Coil orientation? That’s not a capillary tube coil is it?

kwood · February 18, 2012, 1:24am

I would think that the blower being after the coils will burn out the motor quicker. We don’t deal with heat pumps here as much as you do in the south so being a CMI does not make me an expert in this design just like non of you can be an expert in -40 below designed Healthy Homes. JMO

kwood · February 18, 2012, 2:11am

No comment yet! One other thing I observed is you said it was a 5 ton unit. They may be able to extract enough heat for mild conditions but when it comes to hot summers they will sacrifice with short cycling of the AC and the home will be damp all the time.
