Thanks. There’s been a lot of talk lately about comments not being properly deleted or Reddit restoring them after deletion. But I figure I can just run PDS multiple times over the next couple of weeks to get the ones that it didn’t catch on the first run. In any case, the “comments” section in my profile comes up empty right now.
I did do a full export through the request form on Reddit before going through with this. I had a total of 13K comments to wipe.
Even after you manually wiped using the links in your archive? If you just used PDS though it might be that reddit did some reindexing to make older stuff show up again, or a sub or a few going unprivate.
Nah it’s 13K comments, I can’t wipe them all manually. It could be as you say that PDS doesn’t see comments in private subs. In that case I’ll need to find something that lets me feed it all the links.
Has it been working alright throughout the rest of the season? I had an HVAC system that was incorrectly wired by the installers, so it actually ran the AC and heat pump at the same time, cancelling each other out. Might not be your situation but you never know!
The air coming out of the vents is cold. In the winter the air coming out is very warm. Would that be the case if incorrectly installed? It almost feels like there isn’t “enough” air coming out of the vents maybe? If that makes sense. Just not a ton of airflow coming out
That could be part of a problem if it isn't circulating.
Make sure all the vents are open and not blocked by something inside. Switch filters if you haven't recently, and make sure they are the right kind for your unit. If you can get to your duct work, see if it is leaking anywhere as that will reduce the pressure at the vents.
If you have ceiling fans, turn them on to help out. If you aren't already, close curtains to block direct sunlight (east side in the morning, west in the evening).
I would recommend having a different company check it out since they won't be defensive about the prior work.
You can’t “run the heat pump and a/c at the same time” because it’s a single unit. There’s a valve that slides when powered to switch the hot side with the cold side. That’s literally the only difference between a/c and a heat pump.
2.5 tons is right in the edge of being able to handle 1400 sq ft. Where do you live? It is two story or one? I think your AC might just not be about to keep up. Nothing wrong with it.
Growing up in the southeast, every AC unit is too small.
Something to consider would be a portable/window unit to compensate in high traffic areas/bedroom. Used to use that to cool a room and let the rest of the house run a bit hotter instead of fighting the outdoor heat.
See if you can spot any ice on the lines on the inside and outside unit. Chances are the coils are frozen. You will need to let it defrost if this is the case. Could take up to 24 hours. Or less than an hour of you run the heat. Be prepared for water to leak from the inside unit as the drain may not keep up. Once fully thawed (you’ll never know when unless you can see inside an access panel, so longer is better) you can run it again. You should change the filter as low air flow can lead to frozen coils. If it happens again with a fresh filter, chances are it has low refrigerant and needs to be charged by an HVAC tech. If it’s low after one year, you probably have a leak somewhere. Hopefully it’s under warranty still.
It’s still warrantied for a few more years. I had the installer come back out and he said the unit is working fine. On a hot day, 95+ it will be 82 F inside my house. I’ve never lived in a house that’s gotten that hot before with the AC on
That’s definitely too hot for a brand new AC, was it rated for a dwelling of your size? Mine is almost 20 years old and keeps my 1800sqft home in the mid 70s at 100 degree outside temps
This is how I fixed mine when it happened to me. I didn’t realize the AC was using the same air filter as my furnace, so it had gotten really dirty and blocked airflow. A cheap new air filter replacement fixed all the issues.
Typically in Australia we’d size for 180W/m2 which in a domestic setting gives plenty of heads room.
130x180 = 23.4kW unit. This size it would be a ducted unit to ensure proper distribution of cooling throughout.
2.5tonne equates to approximately 8.8kW which only gives you 68W/m2 which as an ex mechanical engineer is completely undersized at least for Australian summer.
Without knowing more the only suggestion I would give is set the target temperature a bit higher. This increases the units efficiency and should help it get to temperature quicker.
If you’re uncomfortable try running an additional fan. The movement of the air will make you feel cooler even if the air temperature is the same.
