LOL. I was ignoring this thread because I have no knowledge re rose folks in NJ. Then I noticed the total number of responses, and had to find out what's goin' on in the Garden State rose-wise. What I found is kind of wacky. Or, to borrow a term that John McCain used yesterday on the floor of the Senate -- BIZARRO! First, we have someone who's making her very first post on this forum asking a legitimate question based, one must assume, on her own very specific needs. Then come responses attempting to convince the poster that she really doesn't want what she clearly states that she wants. Then, rose service agents in Va and NJ are recommended. The info-seeking poster, who specifically requested info on NJ-based rose experts, replies that she shall contact the out-of-state source forthwith. Then, in a rare appearence here, comes one of the few folks on the planet whom a rather august body has officially proclaimed to be a "Great Rosarian of the World". In contravention of the rules of these forums, the Great Rosarian of the World came to tout/promote/solicit customers for his business. I hope things work out well for the initial poster, & that she finds the help she's seeking -- in VA, NJ or where ever. Turned out to be a curious, interesting and entertaining thread after all.

The system you have seems normal. Not sure which 8000 model you have, and if it has the extra dehumidify feature, however the #'s seem in line. If you have the dehumidifier feature, if I recall it would enact the cooling should the RH rise 5%+ above setting and overcool the house by 1.5 degrees plus to try to get there. Some people find this annoying as in over chilling space and an energy waster. Properly setup, V/S furnaces do very well in removing humidity over standard blowers, but of course proper sizing, selection, installation, set-up is key. Perhaps had you not had a V/S blower it is feasible that your morning RH could have started out at 50%+, who knows. With regards to your run all the time comment, this would only happen if you hit the design point temp. While a V/S unit usually runs longer, it will satisfy eventually depending on capacity selection versus heat gain. Many commercial units are capable of cooling and dehumidifying constantly however this process includes adding heat while cooling but, that would make sense residentially.

John and Brenda, Salt Lake City April fools day 2021, the first time out of covid quarantine, we left our house for a few hours only to come back and find a pipe had burst and flooded our basement. We contracted Repipe of Utah to replace our old pipe with Repipes patented PEX pipe….it’s very expensive! What you see is not what you get the plumbers they sent looked like gang members. Even our neighbors were taken back. I have to say the Repipe plumbers lacked quality workmanship! Granted Repipes patented pipe looks beautiful but the craftsmanship in which it was installed was subpar at best! Their Repipe installers made many errors in their install and also broke building code by not having a journeyman plumber here at all times….apprentices we’re here alone for at least four hours without supervision from a journeyman plumber. I will name a few of the errors made on our May 2021 install: 1) Reversed hot and cold water in the main floor bathroom, downstairs bathroom and laundry room. 2) Scratched my Toto toilet seat in the upstairs bathroom with a plumbing tool (they replaced the seat). 3) Instead of coming through the bathroom wall they drilled a hole in my nice tile floor without even calking the opening so If the toilet over flows the water will drain downstairs! Nobody ever talked to us about doing that! It also now makes it difficult for me to clean by the toilet! 4) One of the apprentices admiring my nice stainless steel wolf stove ran his hand across the top of the stainless steel while having pipe dope on his hands and ruined the finish of my nice stove. I keep cleaning it but the haze keeps coming back. 5) Because if the plumbing errors made, Repipe sent a second crew to fix first crews mistakes by fixing reverse hot and cold water connections. a)The laundry - they said it could not be corrected so that is a permanent reminder of Repipes incompetence! b) The downstairs shower faucets - they broke our Moen valve (we called another plumber to replace it which cost $200…Repipe reimbursed us.) c) The main floor bathroom - second crew said the pipe was not long enough so in order to fix it they had to make many connections using regular PEX piping and crimps not the patented plastic pipe and fittings (looks like the spaghetti bowl) I thought voided their warranty? 6) Repipe sent a 3rd crew - to replace the connection under main floor bathroom sink because it was leaking. (Not sure if that is the cause of an apparent leak in our downstairs bathroom ceiling which nobody has repaired or checked out. 7) Lastly Repipers made their connection to the main water line by the shut off valve inside our house enlarging the size of the hole with a drill around the incoming water pipe coming through our foundation. Thus making the previous tight fit exponentially bigger around the incoming water pipe. By doing this, it went against IPC Plumbing code by not caulking interior foundation hole compromising the integrity of our foundation thus making water leak in. The increase in the hole from inside that the repipers made and not sealing it up in anyway is what led to the water leaking in from outside. The only thing that changed our homes existing conditions in 20 plus years was Repipe connecting to our main water line shutoff valve. We hired a leak specialist at extra cost to us to seal the shutoff valve connection which repipe plumbers should have done had they followed IPC Plumbing code. In short, Repipe is responsible for the leak that followed. Repipe let us down and is not the company we were led to believe. Not only is Repipe not taking responsibility for the domino affect caused by their sloppy work but the grief and anxiety it has caused my husband I who are in our mid 70’s. Because of that leak and Repipes’s incompetence, our new carpet of just a week was ruined and Repipe refuses to reimburse us the $1500 it cost us to replace. Also Repipe does not have their own plumbers they don’t pull up in a Repipe truck but rather contract to outside plumbers. Buyers beware! Service: install new pipe

Socal... it's people like you that ruin a perfectly good thing. We aren't going to put up with this kind of #%&@!!! So if you could be manly enough to remove your illegal advertising we would all appreciate it.
