Even though we have only one finished room (a guest room) on the
second floor of this new house, looking ahead to the time when the rest of the 2nd floor may be finished, our HVAC subcontractor put in a large furnace and AC for it, one big enough to take care of several rooms. The problem now is the noise. When it comes on, it sounds like a jet plane taking off. The subcontractor has suggested diverting a large part of the furnace/AC output into the unfinished attic space, but that will mean that most of what we pay for up there will be wasted. Can anyone suggest other solutions? Thanks for any comments. |

There are jumpers you can reset to slow or speed up the fan. Don't slow it down more than one setting without talking to your HVAC guy - the airflow across the coil and heat exchanger may not be within limits. Or you could pay a tech $100 to do it for you ![]() John John Davies TLCA 14732 http://home.comcast.net/~johnedavies/ '96 Lexus LX450 '00 Audi A4 1.8T quattro Spokane WA USA |
