Q&A: Does anyone have and personal knowledge of “packaged unit” Heat pumps?

September 1st, 2010

Question by titus1971: Does anyone have and personal knowledge of “packaged unit” Heat pumps?

I’ve had several recent quotes to install a heat pump in my home and several of the companies have quoted a packaged unit instead of a seperate outdoor unit and indoor air handler. I didn’t know if this was a new trend or if it was more cost efficient since I’m putting this in a home that doesn’t currently have anytime of central air/heat pump/furnace. Any input would be appreciated.

Answer by monroemechanical
Installing a heat pump depends on where you live. Here in Wisconsin we DO NOT install heat pumps beacuse they just dont work in our weather. If you need further assistance please email us at monroemechanical@yahoo.com We are an HVACR company.

What causes a house furnace to get fed more water, and then shut off? What if it gets fed too much water?

August 31st, 2010

Question by Retrodude: What causes a house furnace to get fed more water, and then shut off? What if it gets fed too much water?

My furnace starts to knock drastically if it gets fed too much water, it seems to be doing just that according the the water site gage. Then it starts to get into the radiators in the house. How do I stop it from feeding the furnace when there’s evidently enough water there? Thank you for your time to answer.

Answer by Oldmansea
If your furnace is a boiler your getting water hammer. Water is carried to the corners or turns and forced into them which makes them sound terrible. keep the water at the level indictated on the low water cutoff. or check the air vents on the radiators.
