Bryant vs goodman

I am having a 3 ton 14 seer heat pump air conditioner installed. I can get a Bryant unit for $50.00 more than the Goodman from the same company. Is one better than the other?

The install counts the most. Saying that the goodman is low end with the bryant not to much better.

I'd choose the Bryant over a Goodman.

Took your advice Houston and I am glad I did. The Bryant is so quiet and cools the house so fast. Thanks!

Nest Thermostat Downgrade Back to Honeywell, [ISSUES]

R

RickMendez on May 06, 2014

Hey everyone! First post here, I did a search but could not find a topic that would match my situation. I've been looking on the net and reading the manuals for my thermostat but I cannot get it to work properly. I'll try to give as much information as I can and describe the problem in detail. -Honeywell Model TH2210D1007 2H/1C I had a Nest installed and am downgrading back to the original Honeywell. Upon re-wiring the Honeywell the following problems occur- 1. A few (5-10) seconds after I re-connect the Honeywell the furnace fan turns on even though the thermostat is set to [OFF] and fan is set to [AUTO] 2. When the furnace fan turns on, warm/hot air blows out and Honeywell switches seem to not have any effect on the furnace/condenser If I cut the power to the furnace + condenser then re-wire the Nest, I have full control and can turn Cool [ON/OFF] at will and furnace doesn't turn on automatically. Below is how I re-wired the Honeywell- Y- Yellow R- Red C- Blue G- Green O/B- Orange Aux/E- White Here is how I wired the Nest- Y1- Yellow Y2- [EMPTY] G- Green O/B- Orange Rc- [EMPTY] Rh- Red W1- White W2/Aux- [EMPTY] C- Blue One of the topics I found online suggested reversing the O/B and W. This sort of worked because now the furnace fan didn't turn on as soon as I plugged in the Honeywell. It gave me control of the system but did not blow cold air when set to [COOL]. I tried to look up instructions on how to reset the Honeywell but was unsuccessful. A similar Honeywell model said putting in the batteries backwards would reset it but it did not work for me. The A/C system seems to be working fine and not malfunctioning as it works perfectly with the Nest. It is almost as if there is a problem with the wiring for the Honeywell or the Honeywell itself. I'm open to suggestions! Thank you in advance for any replies and views! RickRead More

Possible Chinese (defective) drywall? Can you tell by the coils?

S

skyace2004 on May 07, 2014

I'm looking to purchase a house in Florida and the coils of the AC unit inside the house looked questionable. Some of the Electrical outlets with exposed copper had black soot on the wires, but it was pretty much isolated to the bathrooms (the house is on well water with high sulfer content). I took pictures of the AC coils to get feedback on this is consistant with Chinese drywall, or it looks like a typical 9 year old AC unit.
