You need a barometric damper in the vent pipe. Have the tin shop your getting to make your plenum also make a filter rack for the side, that way you can easily slide a common sized filter in and out.

Umm how bout a dehumidifier, the ones you pic up at wally world are ****. Honeywell makes several sizes, Dr 65 would likely work very well for your application. It will remove up to 65 pints off moisture in 24 hours and uses about a third of the electricity that a portable 25 pint from the big...

Does it still heat your house when the thermostat calls for heat? Maybe double check your thermostat settings, there is a switch on the to make the fan run all the time. Should have two options, on or auto. It should be set to auto. Check the cheap and easy first and work towards expensive and...

Ground temp at about eight feet down stays about 65 all year, without the heatpump portion of the setup you likely won't get any dehumidification and if it is able to cool the room down it would be clammy. It takes a lot of pipe in the ground too, most that I've seen are deeper then 10 ft, I...

Used residential furnaces are used to heat shops all the time, however no one replaces the furnace in their home for no reason. 12 to 15 is the average life of a furnace, the reason most warrantys are only 10 years. Big cracks in the heat exchanger are easy to see, small ones can be easy to...

Cleaning the sensor should be all that's needed, as brewcheif said its just a steel rod and the only time it ever needs to be replaced is if the ceramic holder its in cracks or if its corroded so bad it can't be cleaned. That sensor is one of the reasons to have the furnace serviced every year...

Heat transfer is heat transfer as far as I know, I've never used one for cooling but maybe you could call tech support for the manufacturer of that heat exchanger and find out from them. I'm just guessing at the size based on btus, but one of their engineers may have experience with your...

This one has bigger ports and might last longer with poor water quality, the stainless would hold up better to chemicals when you need to flush it out. www.brazetek.com/bt-st-600-b-heat-exchanger

You don't give the gpm you need but you might get two smaller ones if you need more then 60 gpm and even one should be able to handle the btus you need. http://www.pexuniverse.com/store/category/5-x-12-models-br-1-14-ports

It sounds like you just didn't get all of the water out the first time it was blown out and it eventually collected in a low spot enough to block it again. I don't think a normal household air compressor would be able to move enough air to get all of the moisture out the first time. Do a...

Now now, there's no need to turn this thread into that argument, there's already a few of them here. Tank type water heaters are not very good at space heating, as your seeing from first hand experience, boilers work very well at space heating, after all its what they are designed for. Brand is...

AO smith, check their website I'm not sure on which specific models.

The price he quoted you for the Freon is lower then I would have charged, r22 is becoming obsolete and in the coming years will only get more expensive and eventually unavailable. A new compressor should get you a lot of years of service however that 1 year warranty would only cover the...

The higher pressure is allowed inside, however a maxitrol(pressure regulator) would be needed at each appliance and a new gas meter. If you use the yellow csst be sure its grounded properly because lighting strikes will burn holes in it otherwise, and be sure to check your local codes.

There are water heaters that have a separate heat exchanger inside specifically designed for hydronic heat, that would keep the funk out of your drinking water and in turn out of you.

Just curious, what method will you use to flush the coil and how will you be certain that there is absolutely no residue left inside? www.barsco.com/MSDS%20Sheets/MSDS/diversitechwagner-alkyl.pdf

I replaced a lot of copper coils last summer because of formic corosion and the ones where dye was added usually showed more then one leak. So even if it was repaired, it would likely be very close to leaking in another spot and the repair won't last. We have been putting in all aluminum coils...

There are air handlers designed just for the application your describing, I would suggest getting one of those. Ac coils are not designed to flow water through them and I definitely wouldn't want the oil from inside there mixed with my drinking water.

Todd, the quotes you put up are throwing a red flag, I don't normally work on a lot of trane equipment so I might be wrong but I think the xr95 furnace is 95% efficiency. Furnaces are sized by btu input 80% of 80,000 btus is 64,000 btus output, 95% of 80,000 btus is 76,000 btus of output. This...
