I 2nd Chris J's advice...inexpensive 40 or 50 gallon water heaters serve nicely as "holding" (actually, preheat) tanks. If it is easier, simply...
"You can find lots of people who will come in, measure your heat of extraction and leave you with a form that says you meet spec (and a bill)"...
Gotta getta good Manual J! Our strategy for beachfront geos is to request the well sub to bore two wells into the Floridan Aquifer about 50 feet...
Fair point - have the cap checked.
What is the diameter and air flow friction loss of "big-O drainage pipe"? I don't know what that consists of. It seems theoretically possible to...
If loop water flow is confirmed within acceptable range you may need a refrigeration / HVAC tech to check system charge, subcool, and superheat.
Ditto geoxne's remarks. If a tech is unfamiliar with calculating HE (heat extracted) and HR (heat rejected) via Delta P and Delta T, then they...
I think what DJ was / is getting at is that your Texas climate is cooling-dominated, in other words, 80+ percent of the annual HVAC load is air...
I hope the technician has measured refrigerant circuit high and low side pressures and temperatures and calculated superheat and subcooling....
Hmm...While 15 degree split across the system is indicative of low loop water flow, it is not alone indicative of the cause of failure. I operate...
I hope the system has PT ports so that a competent technician can measure and calculate heat of rejection (HR) in cooling mode. The result of that...
2 zones means a zone board. It determines stage 1 or 2. Look closely at the thermostats - one maybe set for fan "on" vs fan "auto" It is also...
duct tape a Shop-Vac hose to the condensate drain outlet and let-er-rip. Could be a capacitor - relatively inexpensive part easy to replace, but...
Coaxial refrigerant / water heat exchangers are fairly generic, so there is a good chance an aftermarket one could be found to fit the system....
