Trane Heat Pump Fan

Hello, Some information about the issue. Newly built townhouse, lived in now for 8months. From furnace: ARUF364216AA - hope that is enough for someone to know this brand Yesterday I noticed that my up stairs was not cooling off to much. I pressed the reset button on my wall control unit then reset the temp ( it was set to 75 but showed the room temp at 81 ). So I closed all my doors upstairs thinking it would help cool each room faster. Well last night at 4am the inside temp according to the wall control unit was 85. Later this morning i looked up in the attic to see the pan full of water and some leaked out as well. My questions are: 1. I do not see how this pan drains ( check pictures ) as you see the only pipe coming from the furnace is located high from the pan. The pipe attached to the pan is capped off. 2. I see a sensor is in the pan. Notice in the pictures it is submerged in water. My control panel did not indicate any issue, should it have? 3. I have a maintenace call in and am awaiting a call as to the time they will arrive. What should I make sure they do to insure this is properly fixed? 4. I included a picture from my bathroom under the furnace. As you can see the ceiling is now cracked. My home warranty person has been contacted and wants to be contacted after the work is done on the furnace for all fixes he will need to provide. What should I have them check for? I do not want mold or water damage. Here is a link to my pictures of this issue. My Picture Page [url]http://ImageEvent.com/mike929/atticfurnance[/url] Yes, I spelled furnace wrong. I could not edit the picture link after it was created :-) sorry Michael

Hello -- I am looking at replacing my a/c unit with a heatpump. I have gotten bids from Trane (real expensive $5500), Carrier and Goodman. The carrier is a 14seer 25HCA536 and would be $3760 installed and the Amana is ASZ14 (14seer) would be $4200. I have a family member that can install Goodman which is the same as Amana and I assume it would be cheaper around $3000. We live in MN and we have an older 80% single stage furnace (8 years), so we cannot take advantage of the 2 stage heatpumps. If we would get the 2 stage heatpump, we would not be getting the money out of it, until the furnace would be updated. I do no think it makes sense to upgrade the furnace for the variable fan speeds. Carrier said I would get more effecient, but at a cost of $3500. Between Carrier/Amana/Goodman, which one has a better reputation and should I go with? Do you upgrade the furnace? Thanks
