    Why is the secondary pipe safety switch still off, and water went to under coil pan

    Are they the only returns for the house? - If yes, then does that mean air from all the supply registers needs to flow back to that one point? - If no, then with just large returns there, I'd think barely any air would be drawn from other returns. If the constraints are you can't relocate the unit, or run ducted returns anywhere else, they yes, I'd say if there's not enough return air openings compared to supply, this will improve things. But a 4T unit, with potentially all the returns right at the unit - seems a very sub-optimal configuration.

    Does it matter? Yep. Get your ductulator out and find out why. 😂😂😂see these guys didn’t use a ductulator. Threw out all kind of numbers, “sounded” important didn’t it? Where’s the ductulator? 35 x 11, Plenty of existing opening for a 4 ton even with grille. Whats the FPM going through the grille, not cfm? What is static p design? Even at 1600 cfm, 750 fpm on the return air, that would be nice and quiet. Static would be .06. Everyone was guessing. Next time use a firm that has at minimum, a ductulator in someone’s hand.

    So if u have a multi zone system like this and say one part of the house is set at 76 and a different area is set at 80, will the shut damper end up developing condensation since air is hitting the door/damper? I feel like this is a recipe for mold down the road. Am I wrong?

    There's a formula for figuring air on and off. Pretty consistent .if you're pressure is right. You can tell where the problem is doing what he's talking about. This work is harder than you might think. If you have a good Hvac tech. Be grateful.

    Maybe it is time to get some Spit units in that house to take the load off of the FAU. Putting a return in the closet is a really bad idea. What about doing a static test and a decibel test, my unit is super load in the family room you need the volume up on the TV to 23, now I have a Midea split unit and the TV is at 8, we now use the Midea 70% of the time. Summers here 95 to 115 low humidity.

    Fire hazard! You can not/ should not ever put a return in a laundry room. Other than it being against national code it’s also dangerous because if a drier caught fire it would add fuel to the fire.

    EE here - Those SPDs are best placed at the main panel that's being fed by the meter. They only protect against over voltage events (it's just a beefy surge protector, so lightning strikes and transformer faults). You also need to tell the customer to check for that green light a few times a year since these are consumables.
