I'm replaceing my old AC and electric resistance with a complete Trane system. The condenser is a 4TWX6036B with a variable speed air handler, 4TEE3F40B. There is plaenty of 4 AWG Al wire to the electric resistance heat that is going out. The Goodman 3T AC is on a 30 amp 220 disconnect.
They say that they will bring electrical up to code, but the "engineer" says that the condenser can keep the 30 amp service while the plate on the condenser will read 40 amps. (I have every manual google can find for my new equipment.) Then there is the issue of Oxy-acet brazing versus soldering, nitrogen purge etc.
I've hired a good contractor that is giving a 5 year labor warranty. If the pros are good, my policy is to have a clean work site ready for them and to keep out of their way except when they need to be pointed at locations etc.
When they show up, what do you recommend, given that I want the work done right the first time and that there are so many ways to foul up the install?
