He also said that there is always a 24 volt signal at the panel inside the "furnace".


you can check if it's the furnace by pulling out the fuse on the inside panel.

Ours just did the exact same thing last week and our repair person told us it was a stuck circuit. He basically "unstuck" it in the box outside beside the a/c.

Sorry I'm not much more help, but my husband was the one that took care of it and I just overheard the conversation....

some of the new thermostats wait up to 5 minutes for signals to protect the A/C. I assume you waited 5 min at least?

If it is the outside circuit, just open the box on the wall of your house outside. There should be 2 thick cables going there. Once it is open, just pull out the circuit. Wait a minute, then plug it back in. You do not really need to turn off your power to the A/C but if you want to just flip the breaker for it then reseat it.

Honestly - we have had our A/C Unit since June & we have had constant problems - and I am just about to take our AC guys to Small Claims Court-!! I have had technicians at my house 5-6 times over the summer & we are tired of our A/C unit not working-- we had it installed by someone other than the builder (we are in 15A) as well and I am so upset that we didnt spend teh extra $$ to go through Mattamy !! Anyways - -I think if your house has a High Efficiency Furnace-- there is a problem with the A/C units being installed a lot of companies do not know how to instal AC units to the high eff furnace-- anyways-- i hope you dont go through what we have gone through!

Just out of curiousity Valerie and others who did you go with? We also have a high velocity furnace and find that the house does not cool down quick enough. A lot of condensation on the duct (they had to come back and wrap the pipe which helped). I also think that is the lack of knowledge with this new furnace system. We by the way went with Convertible Air.

LG -- honeslty - we have no idea their technicians have come here 5 times & it still often turns off & doensnt come on for days are which point we call them!! We dont know what the problem was but all the neighbours who I have talked to used Applewood and have had no problems with their AC unit!

and LG - its not about saving money on the installation Mattamy wanted $3,500 for Applewood to install the unit for us -- why would anyone pay that when you can get an AC unit for $2000 to $2,500 (for my house anyways)

LG - since you are in the industry what is the cost difference between a normal coil and a coill used for a high efficiency furnace/??
