ctgo4it Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Did this inspection yesterday. Walked around the house, no compressor, no refrigerant lines. How is this unit cooling ?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Did you intend to post a photo, or are we supposed to use our tea leaves to figure it out? [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctgo4it Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 sorry about that, hit 'post new reply' too soon. Anyway this is what i have. It has a condesate pump (not connected to a drain, but that's a different story) and a humidifier that I guess is for the heat. I'm stumped. Would be interesting to see what the tea leaves say though . . .

inspector57 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I can't tell much from your pictures, but is there any chance it is a ground source heat pump? These units don't have a air cooled condenser coil outdoors and the compressor is mounted indoors along with the water pump and controls. I would not expect to see one paired with oil or gas heat though. Did it cool? What kind of thermostat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctgo4it Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I don't always take pics of the thermostat (should I?) but this time I did. I don't think it's a heat pump, but I could very well be wrong. I don't think I've seen one since class, so . . . . .

Terence McCann Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 There is a spot on top of the furnace for the evap coil but it looks like there is black tape over the holes where the suction & liquid line would go. From your pictures it looks like there is no ac at present. Did you set it to cooling and check discharge air temperature? If so, what was the room temperature and what was the discharge air temperature? PS: You have a humidifier on the side but the overflow drain goes to the floor and not into the condensate pump. PSS: If you did the inspection on 7-17-09 then the date on your camera is incorrect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Yeah, I see that here sometimes too; A coils installed with new furnaces, because homeowners think that they'll oneday install an AC system, and they never actually get around to doing it. A check of temperature split should have told the tale. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My camera battery died and I had to use my wife's camera. I guess she never set the date [:-taped] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
