Why is my air handler connected to a plumbing vent by a pvc pipe?
Q. My house smells like sewer gas when the heat is coming out of the vents. I am not a HVAC expert but it seems strange that the air handler would have a PVC pipe connected to a plumbing vent. Could the sewer smell be traveling backwards and into the air handler through the PVC pipe? What is the purpose of the PVC pipe - I know the PVC connected to condensation pan goes directly outside - but what is the other PVC pipe that connects to the side of the air handler for?

A. Everybody is talking about primary and secondary drains and that isn't even your question, it is not a drain it is an air vent, hence hooked to your plumbing AIR VENT, not drain. The handler has a fan and vent to blow excess fumes out of the house from the unit, and somebody thought it a good idea to hook it to a plumbing air vent, a big no-no. If it is a gas furnace and any gas builds up in your plumbing, wammo, poop everywhere. And yes, air vents do not usually have a trap nor did they put in a check valve so yes, it is a direct connection to the sewer system. It is very possible it is sucking in sewer gasses into the house.

Can I use an air handler with a heat pump of different brand?
Q. I have a Whirlpool HVAC system, both air handler and heat pump are Whirlpool. The outdoor heat pump is giving us so much headace for the whole winter. We are considering replacing the whole heat pump but does not want to use Whirlpool anymore. Can I use a different brand (say Trane?) and keep the original air handler?

A. They have to be the same refrigerant type and capacity. You will not be guaranteed the efficiency rating of the new unit without using a matched evaporator. You will not receive any rebates associated with the efficiency. Replace the entire system if you can.

My Lennox air conditioner air handler unit is forming condensate on the outside of the unit. How do I repair
Q. The unit is a heat pump and is about 1 year old. The air handler is mounted to the floor rafters for our second floor and hangs in our basement. The drain line is not blocked. The unit is dripping about one-half gallon per day of condensate to the ground. I normally run the air conditioning unit at 78 degrees. We do live in a humid environment. The unit for the upstairs is operating fine with the air handler located in the attic. The Lennox Customer Service Department will only talk to its dealers about service issues...so no luck there. The local Dealer has been out twice but unable to locate the problem.

A. There can be several causes. Dirty filters can cause low supply air temp and create sweating. Check you filter first. Also make sure the evap is not freezing up. Double check your drain pan for cracks.It is plastic and sometimes can get cracked during installation if the fittings are overtightened..Also check that the cabinet has all the factory insulation in place.Make sure your ductwork is sealed at the unit.Air leaks in the return duct in a humid condition can cause excessive sweating.Make sure your ductwork is properly insulated if the unit is in an unconditioned space. If that doesn't help then please be more specific as to where exaxtly the water is leaking from,and does it drip more when the unit turns off.

what cause the Air Handler for a heat pump breaker to trip?
Q. My heat pump will not come on and the thermostat seems to be not working. The air handler breaker keeps tripping. What could the problem be?
Asked by PhilC - Wed Feb 10 13:00:31 2010 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Air handler typically has auxiliary/emergency heat strips (resistive electric heat elements) that are energized by thermostat when heat demand is high, when you manually select emergency heat, or by heat pump during its defrost cycles. Some heat pumps have an outside thermostat to shut unit down during low temperatures, during which time you are totally dependent on auxiliary/emergency heat from source other than heat pump. Circuit for air handler may include more than one breaker. Circuits for air handlers with heat strips generally have very large amperage requirements, more than the external heat pump itself. Breakers deteriorate over time, reducing capacity. There may be an issue in the air handler itself, including internal heat… [cont.]

A. you want to get an electrical whip, looks something like this: goes from your unit outside into your home (usually in a wall) up to your attic to your attic unit. armor flex is used to cover your large copper pipe outside, the small copper pipe (liquid line) is left uncovered because it doesn't sweat like the large copper pipe. and your thermostat wire can be left uncovered. usually taped or strapped to the armor flex you can buy that at home depot or any ac supply house.

When you upgrade your ac unit do you have to upgrade the air handler?

Asked by jensis7 - Wed May 20 16:54:31 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. When you say air handlerr does it include the evaporator coil or is this in addition to theair handlerr (fan box)? The most common thing to do is to upgrade the whole unit to allow multiple speeds on the fan portion of the unit. This increases efficiency. The coil will have to be changed because you will probably be changing refrigerants and/or metering devices for the refrigerant. You can probaly make it work, but should get a professional to look at the system. Most contractors wouldn't be afraid to tell you what they quote you and what the scope of the work is that they quoted.

A. Probably the fan motor or squirrel cage which surrounds the motor. Sounds like it is out of balance. If it was working quietly before the tech showed up than he probably left something loose as he cleaned your coils for mold. That sounds suspicious as it is. If I was you I would call another tech and get a 2nd opinion. They are usually free for 2nd opinions. If he finds the problem which is what I stated then you need to take care of the 1st co. that came out to [fix] your unit. Good luck.

The air handler disipates the work (lets say cooling) done by the condenser. If it is too big no big deal, but if it were too small the coolant (freon) could return to the condenser as a liquid, this could destroy it.

A. $2000 is expensive for an indoor unit. To have your air handler as they call it "fried" is a little deceptive. What has probably happened is that your indoor fan motor has burnt out, and that is all you need to either replace or repair. Even if it took out some electricals in the indoor unit it would still be far less expensive to fix and replace these where needed. My suggestion is since the guy has already broken trust with you it is probably going to happen again. I would not use him again. Find another qualified and experienced person/company and get on their waiting list asap.

Can I install amulti position air handler as an upflow in an attic?
Q. I would then have a 30 foot extended plenum up high running nearly the length of the attic supported by the rafters and drop flex branches to the boots. I would run the return on the floor or joists supported by vibration isolating foam blocks.

A. I don't see why it wouldn't work. . . Sounds really creative and awesome :) I think I need to do this myself. My brother is always figuring out things like that all of the time, and does excellent 99.9% of the time :)
