Housey Air

SMH. Watch out for the upsale people. This company installed this unit with a mosfet inverter fan driver board. Had constant issues because they didn't even know how to work on it.

Make sure to change your air filter or you will end up like this. Heater wouldn't work because the blower was so full.

Come summer, we'll see if the AC works. If the evaporator is plugged, I'll have pull the refrigerant out, cut out the evap, hose it out, braze it back in, install a new filter drier, pressure test, vacuum, then recharge.

The rough estimate is $1300 instead of changing a $10 filter.

Tankless hot water heater? Be sure to descale to improve efficiency.

If you've got a condensing furnace, it's time to check those condensate lines for blockages.
