I’m no expert and I’m sure some smarter people will chime in if I’m wrong, but I don’t think the system design is necessarily a problem, as long...
You hot water setup is similar to mine. I have a 40 gallon buffer tank with an 80 gallon hybrid hot water heater. From what I have read, the...
I initially thought that as well, but if loop temperatures are in the upper 30s, that doesn’t sound like an undersized loop
Another item to check is if the heat pump locking out (shutting off) when the aux heat is on? Heat strips are generally designed to supplement...
There are people much smarter than me here, so hopefully they will chime in as well, but a couple items to verify with your installer: 1) Did...
That is probably just the cost of the new heat pump and installation. My total installation cost was around $50k with about $10k of that being...
I'm assuming the temperatures you are referring to being 60 to 90 degrees are your EWT and you are running primarily AC. I haven't had my monitor...
As best I can tell from the energy monitor on my solar, Stage 1 in my house uses around 2.5 kWh, Stage 2 uses around 3.5 kWh. Personally, I go by...
Is it favoring stage 2 when you are changing temperatures or trying to maintain a consistent temperature?
Do you have a hybrid water tank or a regular resistance heat hot water tank? Your setup, with a buffer tank, is similar to mine. I have a 40...
thanks for the correction. I didn’t read it close enough. On second read, now see he was looking for pump information. agree the easiest...
you need to do a manual J calc to size the system correctly. It will determine your heat loss/gain. Search cool calc in google and a free website...
That august data seems suspect. 1800 kWh to cool? What you keeping the house at in the summer? The other numbers don’t seem that crazy. I have...
Can’t help you with the ecobee, but I can tell you that the Honeywell T9 and T10 work with geothermal. My system is 3 heat and 2 cooling (2 stage...
Assuming the system is operating as it should, and from what you have said it seems to be, I think your problem is bouncing the temperature around...
