Too hot

I am sure you checked your filter but what you are describing is the same sequence that happens when the high limit is tripping and resetting so you might want to check air flow (closed vents or...

Chasing of the tail

Yeah if you start looking at all theses other things you can get away from the real issue. You know a plugged up drain is not going to cause breaker corrosion you obviously have metal surfaces whose...

Change it up

If I were in your situation the first thing I would do is ask the installing contractor to bring in the factory tech support rep because he is not able to figure it out. Beyond that if I was stuck...

Wher is it

No code

Yes I would think that if there was a permit pulled there would be an auxiliary pan. I am not sure what the limitations were but you have to have some way to stop the unit when the drain backs up,...

Where do I begin?

You are asking opinion questions which pretty much guarantees you are going to get many and varied response and noones going to agree so I am going to steer clear of that and leave it to the others,...

No Blow

Replacing the plenum would not do you any good either. If the unit was properly sized in the first place (and they are either done right or downsized typically due to competitive bidding) then...

Too Hot

That is a lot of temperature difference, my first guess is that there is not actually any air movement (dampers closed or air blowing by the first few taps due to improper sizing) and you are...

Noisy

Giving him the benefit of the doubt he may have moved the coil on the reversing valve if it was the source of the noise but the contactor is the most likely culprit. You can easily check it out by...

Icing

Not cool

I don't care where you are for a 1200 sq. ft. house $8500 ($5000 GRAND PRIZE + $3500 Install) Sounds to me like they are still trying to make 15% or so which I guess is OK just a little disingenuous....

Now we wre getting somewhere

Yes you can take off the side panel you may have to move some of the copper a little so just be careful. The best access though is to slide the whole coil out and just prop or tie it up while you...
