Hi All,
I'll bore you with the history of why I'm asking, but suffice to say I fell victim to an HVAC setup gone bad (at least on the heating side - you can read about the saga in my old posts if you like). I'm posting this on the mail wall as it spans a few different areas.
So basically, I have a Trane TAM7 w/ a 2 ton evap coil and a hydro coil. Cooling works ok, heating not so much. Some techs have told me I need more CFM's to get air where it needs to go (it's at one end of the house and needs to get to the other), AND that a bigger heating coil wouldn't hurt either. I am trying to minimize costs since it's a brand new barely over a year old system, so replacing only what i need to is important.
That said, from what I understand the TAM7 is not particularly modular. If I want a bigger heat coil / more CFM's I need to upgrade, which means I need to get a bigger condenser as well. If there is indeed NO factory-friendly way to upgrade the wind or the heat I'm willing to try a new AH, so long as I can get a big variable fan, a big heat coil, and a 2-ton evap coil that will work with my existing 2-ton condenser. I'm pretty much open to any brand/combo as long as it's not total crap.
Sincere thanks for any advice or recommendations!
