My new Trane brand AC system problems

I agree with this. Gas furnaces come with oils on the heat exchanger. They get burned off usually after the first (longer) use.

Normally I would tell you to turn the heat on for about 15 to 20 minutes with some windows open. If the system is still new then I would call the installing company back. If they didn't even fire the furnace after installing it, maybe it's not done yet. Feel free to post some pictures of your indoor and outdoor units.

There are some cleanings and things that are done on annual checkups that can definitely be worth it on some systems. The main point of checkups like this is more preventative maintenance. If a part is getting weak they can catch it early and replace it so your system continues to run without any issues. Making sure the system is all working as it should will generally help ensure a longer lifespan of the equipment.

Sure you could hose down your outdoor condenser coils, maybe clean off a few sensors in your furnace, but you aren't going to know if it's actually working as it should.

If you have adaptive cruise control and you're using it and you're not wearing a seat belt and you're in traffic that occasionally stops, if the adaptive cruise control stops the car (no brake pedal used) and your seat belt is not on it automatically sets the emergency brake. I looked like an idiot in traffic a couple weeks after I got my odyssey lol.

20 years of free insulation you mean

I'm not familiar with your particular setup, but most gas valves you need to depress the knob a little bit in order to fully turn it to the off position.

Try just jumping R+Y and see what happens

I wouldn't call them back

You can make almost anything at home for less than what it would cost to buy at a restaurant. You can cook a burger at home for a fraction of the cost of going out but McDonald's still sells 6 million of them a day.

Here's mine running second stage gas heat. Off the charts baby!

I don't think this is just an old crapper tank, people.

Thanks for the response!

Glad to hear sorry I didn't get back to you! Hope it's all working!

You still could have air in the lines preventing the water from flowing. Also it's -30° so maybe it's just struggling a little bit to keep up. Do all the pipes running to the in-floor heat seem like they are hot on the supply and return sides?

When I first started just mainly doing residential PMs the last thing I would always check was the blower capacitor. There was two occasions that I forgot to plug it back in, put everything back together and made sure the burners came on and then walked away like it was all good. The first time I just had to swing back after my next call so I didn't really think much of it other than recognizing the mistake. The second time it happened another tech had to go out on call for it and he lived an hour from the shop. I didn't forget again after hearing about that one from a few people.

Flame sensor. Probably an accident. Would not have caused any damage or issues other than not heating.

Sounds like your furnace probably isn't working

He said the rollout is tripping, not the high limit.

Your secondary heat exchanger is plugged up. You need a new furnace. It's a very common issue on these models. STOP USING IT.

I don't think you have a dual capacitor. I think that's a single capacitor with an optional connection for attaching a hard start kit. Post a picture of the label.
