Raised the heating fuct return
We are finally replacing the HVAC in our house. The furnace is
original in 1971, 140,000 BTU. Central air is 3 1/2 ton Trane put in 1987. The new ones will be both Trane units. The new furnace will be 92.5% AFUE 112,000 BTU. AC is the same tonnage at 15 SEER. The house is 2,100 sq ft in NJ. The HVAC contractor suggested raising the duct returns on the second floor from the existing near floor locations to a higher location near the ceiling when I told him our second floor doesn't get cooled that well. The plan is to raise it without additional ducting by using the joist space. Does it make sense? |

No. This guys has his business in our town and has been in business
for 35 years. He takes out about 1,000 permits a year. He did most of the houses in my neighborhood. Actually one of my neighbors gave me his number. He probably did the existing AC before I moved in the house in 1990. We have had a couple of estimates for replacing the system since late spring but kept procrastinating. His number is the lowest, although not by very much. What started it again was the AC condenser went kaput a week ago. The compressor heater went. He sent a gu to fixed it the same day coming to our house to give me the estimate. In addition to pricing, I am prejudiced because I like him. He explains how things work to you. |

He explains how things work to you. Don't let size or emotion drive your decision. http://www.proctoreng.com/articles/bigger.html The same scientific process should be used to size heating equipment. Ask your contractor if he'll do a "Manual J" load calculation prior to sizing and installation of the furnace and A/C. Tell him it is for your peace of mind if nothing else. |

I presume the hot air will be recycled back to the furnace inlet, which
is not necassarily bad. The furnace just don't have to crank out as much heat working on heated air. |

What you will likely have is some pretty extreme stratification, where
the elevated returns are, besides reduced heating efficiency. At least if he put the discharges near the ceiling with the returns below, you'd have a manageable loop, just be overheating air at ceiling. What I've found to work very well, for heating and cooling is plastic flow-diverters that magnetically attach to registers. E.g. instead of cooled air flowing across floor to return, diverter makes it ascend for a bit and mix with room air well above ankle-height. Much cheaper, and more effective, IMHO than raising return. OTHO, if return and discharge were reversible summer-to-winter, you'd be in business. HTH, J |

I am very biased in this matter as you will see if you haven't already.
This guy is an electrical engineer. I am also an engineer licensed to practice in New Jersey. We talk the same language even though in different disciplines. He has 35 years experience in this field. My experience is not much different. If you ask me to provide calculations for something I know the answer already I'll dismiss it as a waste of time. But if I must do it, I will. There are no fewer than four models similar to my house in the block. I trust his estimation. Further more, is he providing far larger capacity heating and AC unit than the previous rwo estimates? All three estimates were in the same size range. One estimate was by PSEG. Another indication is the size quoted in the estimates as compared to the current unit and is my current unit adequate? Except for the less than satisfactory AC on the second floor which he is providing a solution for we have no complaints. This is engineering. Not science. Could all three have made the same mistakes? I can not rule it out but it is not likely. Call me pigheaded. One thing I am glad I am not in the medical profession is the defensive medicine and measures they have to put up in their daily work. Although they probably bring home much fatter bacon than I. Does experience not count anymore that one has to document and substantiate every thing he does? Does experience, trust, relationship and credibility not count in your profession? I can not say I will enjoy my work if I have to put up defensive medicine (measures) on a daily basis. No matter the amount of bacon I earn. |

In addition to pricing, I am prejudiced because I like him. He explains how things work to you. If he puts that many A/C systems in two story homes the design should have had them cooling both stories equitably! I can explain to you how airconditioning systems work until hell freezes over, and it means nothing if I don't design the systems I install in two story homes to work properly for the occupants. I knew guys that had been in the HVAC business for many decades and didn't do much right; some keep doing it the way they had always done it and never learn to do it right! Running the returns up the walls should help some; have top and bottom registers so you can close one off according to the season. (Use bottom return for heating.) Every home should have a manual J heatgain done by someone that will do it right. You might be able to make some changes that would allow you to drop down a half or full ton in unit sizing. A lot of 3.5ton systems are only putting out 2 to 2.5-ton of cooling to the conditioned space. For example I replied to this Tech: 35 ton 10 SEER system. I'm at a loss for the 8 degree DT. HO has never said house doesn't cool well just runs quite a bit when above 88 deg. Coils, ductwork, blower, etc. checks OK. If I plug these numbers in my psychometric calculator (which by the way works very well) I get these numbers Here are my readings. Ambient Temp= 78 Suction PSI= 70 Suction Temp= 61 Head PSI= 225 Liq. Line temp= 104 Entering DB= 74 Entering WB= 64.5 Leaving DB= 66 Leaving WB= 61 3.5-Ton equipment yielding: 17203 "total Btu/hr" Not even a 1.5-ton 13306 Btu/hr Sensible. 3717 Btu/hr Latent What is up? ----------------- The above tonnage loss is not as unusual as you would think; it is rather common but not quite to that extent! http://www.udarrell.com/ac-trouble-s...ubcooling.html There is also probably a lot more wrong than just the charge and airflow. - udarrell - Darrell -- Factors in the Correct Sizing of Residential Air Conditioning Systems - Recommended Procedures for Proper Duct Sizing of Residential Air Conditioning Systems http://www.udarrell.com/proper_cfm_b...syste ms.html |

Wait a minute.
You like him, you are prejudiced toward using him, your are both EE's. But you come to a usenet forum asking people you don't know and never will know, if he knows what he is talking about? You aren't pigheaded, you are two faced. |

In a new house, new design, I'd agree 100% that the Manual J calculations should be done. If, however, you'll lived in the house for 15 years, it has been very comfortable with a given sized unit, it is the same as 10,000 other similar homes in the region that have the same sized units and are comfortable, I'd trust the guy with 35 years experience to say, "yep, this size is OK". I don't care how well the calculations are done, the situation will change anyway. You have three more kids that add body heat and more laundry and the associated heat load. Cooking heat load. A big tree gets cut down. A small tree grows up. The four teenagers you have now move out of the house and it is just the two of you. You add a better storm door. You leave the garage door open. All these things affect how well the AC works in YOUR situation. I told the story before. I used to quote tooling for our company. I'd do the estimate in less than five minutes. The engineer in the machine shop would do the calculations over a period of three days and a few hours of actual calculating and getting quotes from suppliers. We'd be within $100 or less on a $10,000 tool, every time. He felt the need to do the math each and every time. I started out looking at what he quoted for a similar item and use his numbers over and over again.

I want to give you an opportunity to substantiate your accusation that
I am two faced. Please tell me how and why I am two faced. I obtained three bids. He not only came in the lowest, he has references from at least three of my neighbors. He is using similar size units as my existing ones which work and those he installed in the neighbohood which has houses built in the same era of similar living space. He has been in business in this town for 35 years. He explained to me how he intend to do it and as much as I could understand how things work. We talked in my kitchen. We found we both have engineering degrees and share comon intersts in cars and other hobbies. His kids grew up in the same school system as mine. So how does that make me two faced if I use his service? I am not an electrical engineer for your information. And finally is that how you treat people in your daily encounter by calling them names? |

If you are so trusting on his advice for the size of the unit, why are you
asking the group for advice on his suggestion to raise the return air to the ceiling on the second floor???? Regardless, to answer your question, this is a fairly common practice, particularly in retro-fitting into an older home. That is as long as it meets the local code, and it is on an interior wall.

Panning joists violates the codes in most areas. Not doing a load
calculation also violates the codes. What other code mis he going to violate. He may explain things, but he must be explaining things wrong if violating codes is ok with him. Check the International Mechanical Code and International Residential Building Code, now used all over the USA, except in the few places where there are no codes. Stretch |

It'll cool the air down quickly, but not run long enough to remove humidity. Bummer. Makes for a clammy feeling house. |

Maybe I am bored? I have no problems regarding his selection of either the furnace or AC. Two other prior estimate made the same selection. My neighbors all have similar size unit.

Does experience, trust, relationship and credibility not count in your profession? I can not say I will enjoy my work if I have to put up defensive medicine (measures) on a daily basis. No matter the amount of bacon I earn. Any legitimate contractor, will: Document every move on a job. Document every sizing calculation to defend his position, and in most areas now, any AC permit must have a load calculation with it, so that in the event there is a mold claim at a later date, the contractor can show where he sized the unit properly, and installed it correctly to code. He will also document any changes to the original agreement with a change order, signed by himself, the homeowner and any subs involved. While respect, reputation and trust all factor in, you dont get that way by not doing your job properly. I can also tell you that depending on your region, a 15SEER unit wont be the same size as a 10SEER on the same home. You also can NOT use the same duct that a unit installed in 1971 used on a new 12SEER unit, much less a 15SEER. If you are truly an engineer, you understand why proper calculations are important for you to have the correct information on paper when all is said and done....therefore, going on a mans word, isnt the way you want it done. Also, have you asked your friend how many calculations he will do AFTER the unit is installed to insure you have the SEER you paid for? You should get a sheet with over 100 calculations done, AFTER the unit is installed, showing that you have the proper SEER. Meaning, in plain English, you paid for a 15SEER unit, are you really getting 15SEER, or only 10? As a homeowner, anyone I hire to work on my home better back up their talk with some facts. Being in a building trade, as a company owner, we get to see alot more than the average man, in regards to home repair, and contruction. We see some real crappy work, and we see some real nice stuff that would be called overkill by some. One thing we have learned is that the low bid is not always the wrong bid, nor is the high or middle bid always the best....however, we have been, and continue to be staunch in our position that most HVAC contractors are rapists, not all, but most, and since the average man knows little to nothing about the trade, these guys go out, and rip people off daily. They are not the ones you find posting in self help groups, or in the alt.hvac group. They are the ones that charge $300 to show up on a Sat afternoon, and do nothing. They are the ones that charge $35 a pound for refrigerant and never use a scale....they are the ones that think that charging a system only requires the use of a jug of R22 and a set of guages...nevermind the other 5 to 10 tools that are required to do it right. If you are NOT getting documentation to the size of the unit, HOW that size was come to, the duct layout, WHY that duct layout was needed, and documentation about the final testing, you are getting screwed. Period. You can be happy with the price you paid, you can be happy with the installation, you can be happy with it all without it, but bottom line, without it, you have a POS installation, since all the legwork was not done properly. |

I can not rule it out but it is not likely. Call me pigheaded. One thing I am glad I am not in the medical profession is the defensive medicine and measures they have to put up in their daily work. Although they probably bring home much fatter bacon than I. Does experience not count anymore that one has to document and substantiate every thing he does? Does experience, trust, relationship and credibility not count in your profession? I can not say I will enjoy my work if I have to put up defensive medicine (measures) on a daily basis. No matter the amount of bacon I earn. |
