Oversized equiptment

Alan_6

Question for others in hvac repair. Doing repair on oversized forced air furnace's, duct work undersized, or furnace too large for home. Fix it or walk away? So often repairs are done, even knowing that the furnace is cycling off on limit, often even a major as a heat exchanger. I dont like being put in this situation, tired of hearing it has worked this long. Cant you keep it running another year? Or cant you lower the input?

just band aid it

I've been there and done that still see it alot you keep it going make suggestion add more supply and return duct lower fan speeds add relief dump zones the mind goes on and on and finally one day it dies and hopefully the next unit is sized right and installed correctly or the saga contiunies some times you just shut it down and tellem it's spent and give them a price and dats dat peace clammy

You have to tell them whats what...thats that. i used to explain the advantages in their energy bills to change the plenum a bit and at least give the system a chance to lose the heat to the building vs the Great Out doors.
