Hello group. Hope some AC guys are listening in today. We are building a new house in Bastrop Texas and have had a multitude of problems with the builder which I won't go into here. One issue is, we paid for an upgraded HVAC system which consists of the VS8000 furnace and the 38TBD condensor. I have watched the installation like a hawk since so many other things were done poorly. First thing I noticed was the thermostat wiring was only a five wire stat wire. I quickly indicated to the builder that this would no fly with the Thermidistat. Shortly thereafter I was told here I should be looking at the Infinity Control. I then told the builder that is what I wanted and would pay the 300.00 difference he later quoted. He called his "hotshot AC house" and put me on the phone with them and they had never heard of this (oh great!) He then asked me why I thought the wiring was inadiquate and I explained I wanted the better functionality for the humidity control which is importent here and had paid for the thermidistat. He then told my builder that one of there guys was going to school for the Infinity. Well, the months went on and we are nearing final completion. I reminded the builder one more time to tell them I wanted the Infinity. I went over there and they have installed a thermidistat, on a five wire connection..Nothing connected to the second stages, nor nothing connected to the humidity control. The system works, but only runs on low speed fan and the manual fan control does not work. Is there a number I can call Carrier, since this is there expensive system do they have a rep who can check to see if the AC people were qualified to install it and/or might want to come and inspect the installation? I paid a lot of money for this and don't want to get screwed. Being this guy was chosen by my builder I have little recourse with him directly.. Thanks for taking the time to read and I really appriciate any help. John
