Hi,
I am newbie homeowner trying diy to change the 24v transformer in the furnace. I got the replacement transformer for the existing part and I am stuck at how to remove and reconnect the pins. I would like to avoid doing something stupid and breaking the connector/wires!
I have some photos for reference below.
Can I use the new tranformer by disconnecting the old one and if yes, how do I establish connection between the pin of new transformer to the corresponding 24v wire of the connector (that has some kind of white jacket around it?
I tried to search for such connections, but, found no results useful for my situation and would really appreciate feedback from pros here!
New transformer Existing connection. I am not sure how to disconnect and reconnect the blue and yellow wires which appear to have some kind of push-in connection, but the white jacket/cover around it is confusing Reference photo of the old transformer (not the one that is installed in the HVAC unit) to show the kind of connectors it has which appear totally different from the one in the new transformer.
The blue and yellow connectors will pull apart. They look to be the same type of flat quick slide.
However...if you can't get them apart.... cut the wires at the connectors.... cut the ends off the new transformer and wire nut them together.
Hi All,
I am considering installing a heat pump in my bedroom and there are a limited number of places that I can put it. The best spot involves running the lines up from the basement about 12 inches from a lined cinder block chimney with only air space between the chimney and the heat pump lines. The chimney vents a wood burning stove. The heat pump lines would come in about 3 feet above where the wood stove enters the chimney and then runs the length of the chimney (about a foot away from the side) to the second floor.
Is there any concern with the heat pump lines warming up when the wood stove is running? Are there any code violations in doing this?
I attached a couple of photos. Note that currently there is a oil furnace running into the chimney but that will be replaced with a wood burning stove.
Thank you for your help!!
Rob

[i]See where the wood stove would come in and where the heat pump lines would enter the chimney cavity[/i]

While quoting out replacement furnace and AC, the idea of a heat pump was brought up to me. We have solar, but it doesn't cover our electric bill 100% yet. (maybe when energy efficiency improves)
Our house stays around 65 in the winter to keep it from getting too hot upstairs, and around 72 in the summer, but it's still too hot upstairs.
I don't know if we need a heat pump, of it's worth the money.
