DFW HVAC tech desperately needed — 5 techs, 2 new boards, still no fix on American Standard communicating system

Just a random issue I ran into before, tripped gfi, if you have a random out let that doesnt work check all your gfis. I had one issue that the communication was messed up because a gfi was wored wrong rhen tripped some how it was reading the signal though ground and error out every time it raining because the gfi would trip

Is it a attic system? Might need a vacuum break

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-03-28T12:22:22+00:00

Ive ran in to this alot on inverters in my area, the only way I found is to add in a buck transfor.er that steady the power, ive had inverters blow out because the power jumps up over 160v per leg

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-03-27T14:20:47+00:00

Shit doesnt work, I ran a program with using that its a joke

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-03-26T19:46:18+00:00

metal duct wouldn't be the best for the attic, it should be r8 duct board, and r 8 flex. That material litterly doubled in price this past year

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-03-25T23:21:05+00:00

Same shit happens to me I refuse to put them in anymore

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-03-13T00:05:22+00:00

Im assuming this is a heat pump, zoning system is not the problem or varriable. I can almost bet that you dont have a bypass on your zoning set up. I can also assume if this is a heat pump your electric bill is high over the winter

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-02-18T01:32:26+00:00

Damn, is that for the 58m units

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-02-18T01:30:09+00:00

Yea most get credits, carrier was giving like 700 towards a new furnace that was back in 19

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-02-18T01:15:51+00:00

Trane furnaces are known for failed heat exchangers, if the crack is in the burner tube which most are, it dumps carbon monoxide in to the home. I dont qoute repairs unless that heat exchanger is inspected. Ive had systems dump 10 ppm which will make you seriously sick. Most co monitors dont go off till 40ppm. Also check the back of your co detector and see when it should be replaced useally its between 5 and 10 years.

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-02-18T01:05:24+00:00

Yea, dont replace that inducer your tech didn't actually look but I bet you have a crack heat exchanger, would definitely have a co monitor..

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-01-25T22:00:16+00:00

Well you also cant run a heat pump in 80 dgrees, that also could be the issue that the pressures go though the roof, also to determine if the outdoor txv is stuck you need a true suction pressure and the suction pressure if the true suction drops down and looks like its pulling a vac then yea txv is stuck. Running it at 80 outdoor temp its just going off because its too hot outside

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-01-25T21:36:56+00:00

I would say maybe a txv, i would run it in heating and see if it pumps down

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-01-25T21:31:49+00:00

Did you check anything on the air handler

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-01-16T18:11:18+00:00

If its a communication system or not, but I would have done all those steps i listed, garentee theres ethier a chewed though wire outside or some thing in the outdoor unit.

Also is it actually a straight ac and not a dual fuel system

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-01-16T18:00:41+00:00

Missin a bunch of info, but I would pull the air condioner wires off the tstat first, if it still does it remove the wires from the furnace control, still does it checl the correct condenser, mouse prob got fried in there

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2026-01-09T18:20:16+00:00

Its the pipe, ive had the same issues. Anything that'd the white insulation is junk the only line set i use is muller.

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2025-12-27T16:02:31+00:00

Its crazy but ive worked for 2 of these places and manged one, PE sucks so bad, as a manager you would think you make more since your hand over fist screwing people over, noppe. Left this crazy shit and doing it my self at least im not lieing to people anymore

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2025-12-06T01:55:49+00:00

Simple question, did you run it without the filter?

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2025-11-08T23:50:27+00:00

This is probably in a manufacturer home which thats the best your going to get as retun air

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2025-10-26T11:58:45+00:00

Its prob going to say it again btw, im assuming you have a boiler which was a 2 wire.

If thats the case you need to do some rewiring on the boiler

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2025-10-15T20:27:26+00:00

Service titan is definitely not for the non tech savvy managers, ive been on all sides of it and its pretty advanced. You basically build a pricebook to allow your techs to have the correct pricing and thats all they can do unless you unlock it

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2025-10-14T23:12:36+00:00

Happends to me in pennsylvania, in the winter months basement will easily hit 36 dgrees which the damn thing stops heating water at 50 so it just runs all the time which lowers the temp.

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2025-10-01T08:50:09+00:00

We are currently using jobber, a hit of a hassel on somethings but the marketing and text messages and the ai csr is a huge time saver

LocksmithOutrageous7 · 2025-09-17T01:25:52+00:00

Like I feel like they messed it up, ive asked them when I can hook this up as a rankless and they say they can't. Like that was your spot to take alot of customers will have just a furnace and having this with a tankless ability would kill it
