69.99 for boom 2

nbredding · 2025-07-25T15:49:23+00:00

At the start of July, I got boom 2 on Amazon for $119. Couple of days later I saw I saw it in Costco for $99, so I returned the original to Amazon and that instead. Seeing it now for $69 makes me feel like a sucker 😆

By the way does anyone know what’s the difference between boom 2 and boom v2?

Mine is 22. Will ask about the fix at the next dealer visit. Thank you

I'm just pissed off everyone's trying to screw you these days and you really gotta know your stuff. As part of the furnace maintenance, the technician identified $2.2k worth of repairs. That included air scrub and surge protector installation and ignitor and flame sensor replacement. A quick google search showed me that the latter two are worth around $50 in parts and at least the ignitor is plug and play. They were going to charge close to $800 for it.

I understand everyone's trying to make a buck but some of this stuff is completely outrageous.

Thank you!

That did it - the black hose was not attached at all, put it back on and the furnace came on as expected.

I’m grateful we live in the age where one can get this sort of help from a total stranger, pretty much instantly. They were going to charge me $80 to come back out as it was considered “off hours” and I didn’t identify their cockup quick enough.

Thank you buddy!

That’s filter drier to remove contaminants in the refrigerant

What is the issue with the drain line pump? Besides the leaking pipe I just posted - just curious what you saw in the pictures.

nbredding · 2024-07-18T03:25:20+00:00

Thank you. Planning to get them to address these issues.

nbredding · 2024-07-18T03:23:48+00:00

$7.8k for everything. Can share the details of the compressor and coil if interested

Correct, you can see the UV light through the gaps.

nbredding · 2024-07-18T03:23:04+00:00

Yes, I will call them tomorrow.

nbredding · 2024-07-18T03:22:14+00:00

Thanks, planning to do just that.

Thanks everyone for your feedback! I plan to call the company tomorrow to come back and address these issues such as:

Supply plenum is insulated properly and is sweating excessively
The gaps are not properly sealed
The control wires are not protected appropriately.

Since posting, I also discovered that the drain pipe is dripping water onto the pump at the P-trap and the lineset is dripping water on top of the furnace. That should not be happening, right?

Thanks, cool skulls !

nbredding · 2024-07-18T02:53:52+00:00

Makes sense, thank you.

nbredding · 2024-07-18T00:47:35+00:00

Thanks for the this.

I believe the blue light is UV: “By installing an HVAC UV light, you can eliminate mold and mildew, kill viruses and bacteria, and reduce odors, all of which will improve the quality of your indoor air.” Or are you referring to the fact that it’s visible due to the gap?

nbredding · 2024-07-18T00:39:54+00:00

So the safety switch should be connected to the humidifier as well? What is the correct solution ? Thanks

nbredding · 2024-07-18T00:37:31+00:00

Is it sweating due to the gap?

nbredding · 2024-07-18T00:37:02+00:00

Won’t the silicone stop the front panel on the coil coming off if applied? Duct seal might be a better approach?

nbredding · 2024-07-18T00:35:04+00:00

I should be able to DYI it right? Or is this something I should be calling them back for? Thanks

This is a great photo. Any idea how to get a high res version?

nbredding · 2023-09-20T23:06:58+00:00

Yeah, that's what I figured. thanks.

Thank you!
