ok, back on the American Standard setup, grasping at straws to not have to peddle my brand spanking new A/S comfort-R var. speed furnace. if i take the furnace out of the equation and check ARI certification, i was able to find the following: 4A6H5036A1 3 Ton A/S Heritage 15 HP ARI 1384032 - Heritage 15 4A6H5036A1 w/ 4TEE3F40B1 coil provides 15/12.7/9.0 w/ no air handler or furnace listed. ARI 1384026 - Heritage 15 4A6H5036A1 w/ 4TEE3D40A1 coil provides 15/12.6/9.0 w/ no air handler or furnace listed. question, i am not seeing either of the 3.5 ton coil numbers on the A/S site. the only way the 3 ton Heritage 15 HP can achieve the minimum ratings would be to go with the 3.5 coil. is this a good solution to my dilemma and are the coil numbers above readily available?

andre any of these below meet the qualifying standard for the Fed Govt tax rebate. I have no idea on your state program. 1384025 Active Systems XL15I WEATHERTRON TRANE 4TWX5036A1 4TEE3D40A1 37200 12.60 15.00 36400 9.00 23400 1 1382162 Active Systems XL15I WEATHERTRON TRANE 4TWX5036A1 4TEE3F39A1 36000 13.00 15.00 34000 9.00 23600 1 1384031 Active Systems XL15I WEATHERTRON TRANE 4TWX5036A1 4TEE3F40B1 37400 12.70 15.00 36200 9.00 23400 1 keep in mind you will need a new refrigerant lineset. let us hear from you following the installation. TD Good Luck! from the AHRI HP Directory. Perhaps you should print it out for your records.

2 of 2 Regarding my ‘job title’, I consider myself an independent consultant but what I am is directly dependent on who is paying me. Sometimes I am a salesman when an HVAC company wants me to represent them with a specific client. At times I’m a consultant for a geothermal driller that wants me to visit on-site to evaluate, ‘How the Hell (or worse…) are we going to drill here’! Other times I’m called in by a home owner that will tell me that their geothermal system has never worked properly and they don’t believe what their installer or anyone else is telling them; they’re at their wits end and don’t know what to do. At other times a homeowner would like to convert to geothermal and would like an independent opinion, education and advice on what geothermal is and what it does, will have me consult with them. I’ve also been hired to just over see a project to be sure everything is done ‘right’ because either the homeowner or building contractor doesn’t have the knowledge base to understand everything that goes into a proper installation. So who am I? That depends on who is writing the cheque! I always do my utmost to be truthful but I must also be mindful of whose interests I’m really representing on any given project and who hands me the pay envelope. Who am I to me? At this point I’m retired and am a ‘Home Barista’ having a lot of fun working with completely different types of ‘boilers’ and rotary pumps. ‘Retired’ doesn’t mean that I ‘never’ work. It just means that it costs a whole lot more to take me away from my ‘Latté Art’! My favorite thing now is to do ‘Coffee Interventions’ where I’ll visit someone whose grinder or espresso machine is all messed up and they can’t seem to pull a good shot no matter what they do. Full disclosure; I always have a look at their heating & cooling systems too. Can’t help it, it’s in the blood – that and caffeine! SR
