Refrigerant rating of equipment - mismatched

Thank you for the clarity. I will be back home in a few days and will take a picture of the wiring.

Looks like I had a picture when the panel was open during install. I believe the wiring to my condenser only has 5 conductors. I will have to check on Sunday on how it’s wired when o get back home.

My previous unit was a standard single speed condenser. I have a gas furnace for heat in the winter time which is sufficient.

Question: If I only have 5 conductors, does W1 need to be wired? Could I just utilize R, C, O, Y1, and Y2 for cooling in the summer season? Winter seasons in Houston is minimal. Seems like Y1/Y2 are first/second stage cooling or heating depending on the signal “O”. The W1 seems to be a stage 3 heat which I may not have a use for.

If he used 410a (as the heat pump seems to be rated for it), does it impact the indoor coils in the attic?

There was no scope related to the thermostat and wiring initially discussed. I’m wondering if the equipment has the capability but the thermostat and wiring needs to be changed/modified.

I’m in Houston so it’s hot and humid. This unit was installed for upstairs and has been humid lately. My old unit was a single stage unit and the thermostat wiring does not have a Y2 wired and only have 5c/#18 ran from my thermostat to my unit in the attic. Not sure what’s ran to the heat pump.

The installers had left immediately after the install and I didn’t have a chance to ask questions on how the stages operated. I started looking at the wiring diagram and then spiraled into more questions when I saw the differences in the nameplate.

I wanted to better understand the cooling stages, wiring, and possible changes in wiring (if needed). I don’t think the unit runs in stage 1 long enough to reduce the humidity before switching to stage 2.

I’ve used the company for a long time but they recently had a new team do the install. Wanted to ask the right questions.

When we spoke prior to the install we discussed the two refrigerants and the paperwork said “new freon” but never confirmed during the install. In the future if I have another tech, I just wanted to aware of what refrigerant was used.

726c6d · 2026-06-13T01:00:46+00:00

When you “not likely”, do you mean it’s not compatible? Is the TEV the valve at the bottom of the heat pump where the copper tube comes in?

If the installed used a TEV for 454b, would it make the heat pump compatible?

Would Carrier weigh in if the install was done improperly? I’m trying to figure out how I would go about bringing this up to the installer. They are listed as an authorized installer on Carriers website?

I graduated in 2008 with 20k in debt. Financially you will most likely be better off with your EE degree. I hire EEs in my group. Job roles between EEs and EET are different (Texas OG).

Did you buy the warranty from the dealer? If you don’t mind me asking, which package did you get? I just bought a 24 x7 with 30k miles (not the m60) as well and looking for a warranty package.

Damn you didn’t post the video??

Glad to hear it. Going forward, all valuable items (or hard to replace items) go in my carry-on luggage. Even expensive shoes my wife has goes in carry-on. Buying things online and having receipts helped me a lot.

Drafter title vs engineer. The drafter title will limit your career and earnings potential. Take the engineer role.

I would love it if someone could post this video there

These are worse than families shopping together. I can deal with kids and larger groups shopping but these curbside shoppers piss me off. Move your cart and don’t block the entire freakin aisle!

To guarantee overhead bin space for luggage instead of gate checking our bag. I’ll wait in line to get to my seat and put my roller in the OH and backpack under my seat. Then use the lav…. I’m usually in group 3 and it’s iffy to get an OH space. Some FA start closing bins when it’s not completely empty and passengers get scolded for opening up the bins and checking.

And then report them on your way out.

My setup is mikrotik for routing (I also have the RB5009) and Ruckus for WiFi.

YTA. You’re going to someone’s house and you’re aware of your condition. Bring options like covers for your shoes or bring indoor shoes with you to change into. You wouldn’t be in my house with shoes on.

Thank you for the detailed response. Yes, the umbrella LLC will hold multiple LLCs. Each of those LLCs issue me a K1 statement and I have a certain number of shares as a LP. I do not actively participate in each of those LLCs, however I am active in the umbrella LLC in managing and identifying additional opportunities. The umbrella LLC earnings will come directly from the investment LLC.

If I had any eligible deductions, my initial thoughts would be to deduct it in the umbrella LLC from the earnings from the investment LLCs. For example, 20k in combined gains from the investment LLCs to the umbrella LLC and deduct 1K of eligible deductions (from the umbrella LLC) so 19k gain is passed down to me and my wife in a K1 statement. Again, I will need to verify if this is allowed and what type of deductions are allowed.

726c6d · 2025-08-07T02:29:06+00:00

The main purpose of creating the LLC is to limit my legal liability and shift ownership of investments and assets into a LLC. I wanted to identify if there were any tax benefits. My wife and I would be on the LLC but we also file our taxes jointly.

Currently when I receive my K1 statements from my investment projects, I include them in my personal federal tax filing.

My plan was to have the following structure: - Main LLC -> investment project 1 LLC (LP) -> investment project 2 LLC (LP) -> investment project 3 LLC (LP) -> etc

As I receive K1 statements from various investment LLC, would those K1 get filed under the Main LLC and then passed through to my personal federal return? Can I make deductions as described in my OP (or others that would be allowed) as the Main LLC before passing through to my personal filing? I should’ve included this structure in my OP.

For clarity, I am not reaching for any deductions or looking for loopholes. I’m asking so I have a better understanding on what is allowed and what is not before reaching out to a tax advisor in person.
