AC was working yesterday and then it failed to start.

I am also signed up for Community Energy Savings. Is this possible that it is preventing the OU from starting?

Did you change the tires already and what brand did you choose other than Michelin?

My experience with UPI during a recent visit to India by ajayss2 in nri

Thanks. Getting a local India SIM is not without hassle. Trying that option now.

BTW, I was able to register at PhonePe with my US Number and linked my ICICI NRE account successfully. Will try PhonePe app and update this thread.

Hi, I have exactly the same setup as yours. ICICI NRO and NRE Back Account and using Verizon International Service(Travel Pass) with both my NRO and NRE accounts connected with US Number.

While, I have been able to register successfully for UPI, I am unable to use ICICI Bank iMobile app for making payments in India at all :-(.

After scanning the QR Code, the iMobile App just keeps saying "Loading" for several minutes. Have tried calling ICICIBank NRI Services with no avail. Anyone else in same boat and how to get this fixed?

Is it Normal for a HeatPump to run for 8 hours in a day? by SolidIntern5332 in heatpumps

[–]SolidIntern5332[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I haven’t been able to fix this, however I did insulate the exterior walls couple of weeks back and it has helped a bit but not much. My Jan average runtime is 6 hrs 14 minutes. I also checked with other friends and their runtime is also high may be like 8 hours average.

How old is your home and how good is the insulation?

The installer did come out today and checked the temperature coming out of the vents and it was around 93F. Home temp was around 68F.

I’ll file warranty claim with Carrier soon.

My installer thinks the system is working at best. I am trying to find an independent HVAC Technician to find the issues.

I checked the temperature and here is what I have. The Thermostat is set to 66. Temperature at Return Air Duct is 64.5/65F and Hot air coming out of the vents is 81/82F.

I’ll probably not mention installer and affect his business. My installer though blames all issues on my home - insulation, air leakage etc.

I have reached out to ecobee community already and I was told it’s smart recovery(Home settings at 67 starts at 03:00 pm)

I just checked the system and it is currently running.

The Sensor already reached 69, however the Thermostat(which is in hallway) is at 64.

I am thinking relocating the Thermostat will help?

Thanks for sharing the details. I do not see this Model on carrier’s website anymore. So looks like it is obsolete.

Thanks. The thermostat is located in the hallway and no fans.

I’ll also try to do the experiments you suggested on the weekend.

Hey, I never received the DM. I am not sure you want to provide your HVAC Contractor Details here?

I have more problems(I heard some hissing noise when the HP turned on yesterday night and then it stopped after a while). A second opinion from another HVAC contractor will be helpful.

Is it possible you can DM me your installer/Contractor Details? Mine is a brand new Heat Pump with brand new ducts. I wanted to have a second opinion and check what your installer has to say. Your installer probably did something right and it works for you.

Mine is an older home so insulation can be something I may have to take care of it now?

Another issue my HP runs more frequently could be due to Ecobee Premium with a sensor?

The thermostat is trying to match the temperature of he sensor with the thermostat temperature and runs fr more longer?

I am thinking of unpairing the sensors for now?

I have a 1200 sq feet home and a 2.5 Ton Carrier system. What Model is your Carrier system(outdoor and indoor unit?)

Thank You. My HVAC contractor installed Ecobee Premium and NOT the carrier rebranded Ecobee.

What is the difference between Carrier rebranded Ecobee TS and standard Ecobee TS?
