I am pretty sure what he meant is that he knew i was wanting a dual stage and i have not found any 1/2 ton in the geo 2 stage category... Especially in my chosen model Trane or Bosch. So yes there are plenty of 1/2 stage in the single stage version but kinda makes sense as when you get a 2 ton the dual stage makes it simulate a 1.5 thru a 2.5 depending on how its running... so have you actually seen a model in 2 stage half size. If so please id it by model number so i can have a chat with my contractor.. and why he was so adamant that he could not provide me a 1/2 stage..
I searched again this am and found nothing.. however i may not be that great a searcher.. if yours is a single stage and a half that makes sense.
Would be a tough project to switch air handlers.. as the lower is a bosch and 3 ton UN-SPLIT.. while the up is a 2 ton TRANE split.. wish it wasn't split as that alone would make it more efficient.. and in most cases the tech does not have to get in and mess up the freon levels.. since normally they do not need to even check it..
But I have been wanting to force the up to a 3 ton and keep the 3 down as its doing great... but scared if I push too hard might get a rest period on and off as i want and find that it no longer removes humidity due to over size.. so trying to force a manual j to confirm if I really need to go larger... 800 should be fine for 2ton but for some reason its just not hacking it..
