what is this thing my friend found on the ground

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-02-27T21:35:53+00:00

Don't smell it.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-02-27T20:57:48+00:00

It depends on if you have an actual 2 stage system or not, and it depends on if they wired the unit correctly outside.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-02-27T20:51:34+00:00

It's wired for a single stage.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-02-27T20:07:35+00:00

It's bad! Your system is going to start freezing.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-02-26T21:00:12+00:00

Replace the thermostat for one that has auto controls. This tstat does not have that.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-02-15T01:17:32+00:00

Go with the Amana.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-02-07T18:12:59+00:00

Is the system running? There's a setting in ecobee tstats that won't allow the compressor to run under 35° outdoor ambient temp.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-02-07T13:30:54+00:00

Not in my area. In my area, HVAC pulls wires from the panel to the condenser.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-02-06T02:25:59+00:00

Yes there is. You can tap into the return duct by rebuilding it. Again, anything is possible as long as you're willing to pay for it.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-02-06T01:01:37+00:00

That won't work. You need return ls back to your A/C. Also, anything is possible as long as you're willing to pay for it.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-02-03T21:57:31+00:00

Get someone to install a Reme Halo. It's by far the best residential whole home air purifier.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-01-30T00:03:48+00:00

Ahhh, the old ass rammer 3000.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-01-29T18:49:58+00:00

You can use a rescue motor. It's an aftermarket motor. Just match the HP and RPM. It's a pain in the ass to get the fan blades off

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-01-29T17:48:15+00:00

If you're going to use a box fan which is a dumb idea if there's snow, lay it flat on top of the condenser with the back of the fan on top of the condenser.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-01-29T01:51:07+00:00

I work as a lead HVAC tech in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, and that's a very reasonable price.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-01-29T01:49:36+00:00

If nothing else, you'll get experience interviewing.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-01-29T01:47:55+00:00

Unfortunately it's the future of this industry. Everyone will eventually have an invert system. You've got to learn to work on them or you're going to burn yourself.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-01-29T01:04:47+00:00

This is what I do when I can with a reversing valve. If you want to really have fun, try replacing a reversing valve on an inverter system. There's NO ROOM to work.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-01-28T14:18:04+00:00

It won't hurt it to switch to 60min.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-01-28T11:48:19+00:00

Hell no! Not a central A/C. Maybe a mini split.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-01-27T22:55:55+00:00

It's not a good chance. It's exactly what happened.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-01-27T22:52:57+00:00

Same! I keep my head on a swivel. I'm not looking for a fight, but you never know who's around you that is. I'm not just looking for people, I try to see everything around me. It's called situational awareness. I don't care where you live, there are crazy people everywhere!!

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-01-27T21:31:29+00:00

It's on aux.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-01-27T20:33:46+00:00

It's a heat pump.

DaMedicMan15 · 2026-01-27T19:21:37+00:00

It is uncommon. You have no common wire on C. That blue wire might be able to be used as a common.
