    Tramsformers don't usually fail intermittently, I would check to see if you have a drain that is slow to drain and tripping a float switch. Could be a loose low voltage connection too.

    Home warranty cos are a scam. I would advise you to find a local company to replace the equipment, ask your friends or neighbors who they would recommend. Any system you can buy today will save you $ in operating costs. That electric bill is huge, either you have a very high electric rate or...

    You can try. Your ductwork is designed to cool the exact amount it is doing now, adding airflow to a new location will take it awat from somewhere else.

    Even if you insulate the fuck out of it, it's still going to be an attic. The only way to make that space livable would be to add a mini split.

    I had spray foam done about 7 years ago, definitely helps muffle the noise from outside as well as insulates. Ask about warranty on the product. About a year ago I had to open a bathroom wall and found the spray foam had shrunk away from the wall by a few inches each side.

    Avg like expectancy is about 15 years,, guy is trying to sell you a system. 23k is very expensive unless you are being quoted an inverter system, id get a second opinion. Find a local mom n pop shop instead of a franchise.

    Hvac equipment has gone up a bunch in the last 3 years. Always a good idea to get 3 quotes. pick the company that does work instead of the one with the best price. Re ductwork, your hvac guy might be retarded, no difference in ducts for single/2 stage equipment.

    Random thoughts from an hvac guy. The ac in your house is a sealed system, the refrigerant charge should last the life of the equipment. If you need to have refrigerant added you have a leak. Leak checking is my least favorite task, its tedious af. average life expectancy on modern equipment is...

    Hard to tell from the pic but that looks like double wall B vent. A vent is what you want to use for wood burners. https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/anyone-use-b-vent-for-an-air-tight-wood-stove.10686/

    While this is correct it will also add humidity back into the air. Any moisture left on the coil will evaporate back into the air stream, raising overall levels in the house.

    Nest is garbo. home owners love them, hvac guys hate them. newer generation nest is much better than the first. Give us the model# on the indoor unit , trane vs units will have a V in them.

    The ac dehumidifies as it runs which brings down humidity levels, with more moderate temps it runs less and home humidity rises. Couple things you can do: Drop the temp a couple of degrees Install a whole home humidifier Leave the blower in auto instead of on If you got a variable speed unit you...

    You should never see ice or frost on refrigerant lines. This means you are either low on refrigerant or have low airflow across the evaporator. You should have that checked out by a pro. That return duct needs to be insulated.

    Sounds like you have separate systems for upstairs and down, you'll want separate stats for each. Lot of guys like ecobee and nest, do not recommend nest as even with a common installed they fail in lots of weird ways.

    It depends. What type of line are they running? copper or trac pipe are pretty easy to install and save a bunch on labor over black iron pipe. If your basement is a dump and theres stuff they need to move or access is poor, that adds to the cost as well. It's also possible they dont want the job...
