Depending of what type of indoor unit it is, it might be the fan relay or fan sequencer. There are a couple older indoor units that use sequencers that tend to stick. Might check that out.

I agree. I wouldn't be satisfied with a distance diagnosis. Could have probably held the phone up to the unit to do it that way. A second opinion by someone who will go through the wiring, connections, capacitor, voltage, amps and actually check the connections at the compressor terminals would be correct.

Posted by mr.havac (My Page) on Fri, Oct 5, 07 at 13:48 I'm not union nor have I ever been, I'm semi retired so there goes your theory. You were obviously in trouble from the get go and you said yourself you are probably going to need an HVAC tech anyway. So why the snide comment? The only thing I can say at this point is I really don't care now if you burn your house down being cheap or it costs you so much for a repair you have to eat s--- sandwiches on stale bread for the next 2 months in order to pay the bill! Good luck. You want advice? here's advice, keep replacing parts needlessly like you're doing, sooner or later you might fix the problem but by then you'll practically have a brand new system!!! I'm outta here I need grief from idiots like this guy and ass tech like I need a second you know what! ------------------------------------------------------------ Man O Man, Do you have some SERIOUS issues. You said you "don't care if the guy burns down his house" ? Well I'll tell you this much, If his house was on fire I'd go out of my way to help WONDERBOY75 put out the fire. As for you, if YOU were on fire I wouldn't even bother to WASTE a good PISS to help save your sorry butt. Go seek some PROFESSIONAL HELP.

mada first of all, I would not recommend the XL16i because of poor dehumidification properties and really think a two stg AC system for a 1400 sq ft home is overkill and not necessary. I will assume you have a straight AC system, not a heat pump. Here are several suggested systems. all qualify for the Fed Govt tax credit.

Tranes hold up better in coastal environment. If inland, then any of these configurations would be fine. IMO Good Luck!
