A/C Heating - Need bipartisan advice!

Nov 08, 2008 28 Replies

What did the load calculation state you needed. You didnt research enough, you had a 1 ton AC before and now have 3.5 ton AC, if that 1 ton cooled your home at all decently you have just left yourself with a future of an uncomfortable home in summer, it will be very humid and clammy. ACs should be sized to run nearly 100% on your hottest day, humidity removal all summer cant be achieved on an oversized unit. My AC is oversized and it sucks so bad I run 2-Two dehumidifiers, I insulated after the instal so it was my mistake. If you read and learned you would of had a load calculation done and followed what it said on sizing. Global warming, think insulation.

Well duh!!! Of course it's appropriate you tard.

You're going to burn your house down you damn idiot. I hope your insurance premium is paid up. I am the real ftwhd and I approve this message

What is it about HVAC that brings the troll out?

I took it down to Granger and they said they don't stock it. I called another place and they wanted $218 to order it. I sprayed some more contact spray in it and put the old one back in. :-)

I have a gas fireplace and a good space heater if we have a bad freeze or something but I live in Austin where it only gets real cold couple of days a year. Ive been told some years it never freezes.
