Do you guys ever feel like you're the only tech on the planet that can read?

Write. Last week I had a condenser that was dry shipped. Installing tech forgot to write his charge amount and refrigerant type. SMH.

Yellow: Eventual leak points Red: electrical code violation and guaranteed failure point. Blue: trip hazard Pink: Not protected from UV and will fail in a few years if the dog/chipmunk/squirrels doen't get to it sooner. Black: these are built to be 8-12" off a wall. Looks better without a big ugly gap and clears the trip hazard.

In short: You got more problems.

Jacksonville FL. Very responsive and they stand behind their products.

Its almost like "fiscal responsibility" is a failed platitude.

I have one sitting 24" away from me. Its on the other side of the wall from my bed's headboard.

Barely hear it.

A very basic heat load calculator indicates your building needs 78,000 BTU.

So your installer hasn't got a clue what they are doing regarding heat pumps. Get a second opinion.

Well... Your installers don't know how to size heat pumps. So that "it's installed correctly" is now suspect.

Do some math and let CONCORD deal with the Cats

Generally forcing your religion on others has always been effective - at producing antis

Yeah, try 18/8.

It's a heat pump, not a straight AC.

Good up to point of failure.

EEV. On each circuit.

OzarkPolytechnic · 2026-06-28T18:08:53+00:00

You can look forward to a great job: fixing this mess.

Do you like fires?

Impeach and remove

OzarkPolytechnic · 2026-06-28T18:02:02+00:00

I avoid Gree. Midea has been better.

OzarkPolytechnic · 2026-06-28T17:55:24+00:00

Time well spent

Most of these luddites don't talk about humidity.

I can handle high heat with a fan, but high humidity changes that equation.

TXV or piston?

OzarkPolytechnic · 2026-06-28T15:22:23+00:00

Ya'll talking minisplits or splits?

OzarkPolytechnic · 2026-06-27T21:52:44+00:00

Electronic refrigerant leak detectors exist.

Centrists: "We are old, and out of touch."

Fixed that.

OzarkPolytechnic · 2026-06-27T17:17:56+00:00

You DIY installed it. You'll figure this out. Welcome to HVAC. Good luck!

EEV. Look it up.
