Turning the switch 4 to on simply drops the evap temp from 46/42 down to 42/38 The pressure noise you heard is our PEV (pressure equalization valve opening after five minutes of the unit shutting off) Now it’s ready to start
June 2023 961 khw, July 2023 1223 kwh, August 2023 1010 kwh, June 2024 640 kwh (no AC for this month as it was dead), July 2024 886 kwh (will be missing a few days), August 2024 899 kwh. The old unit was a 3-ton Lennox XC15 and it was not meeting our needs due to the duct work. It lost its refrigerant over winter which caused us to make the change.
@@SteveRivett Thank you. I am seeing similar savings the first two months as well. Mine ran 190 hours in August on Long Island NY, but I now know it was using very little energy.
I have the 2.0 version 5 ton unit also, not the premium connected version. It's making the same humming sound when running in cooling mode when it's cold outside. It sounds completely normal when it's hot, or in heating mode. I gave up trying to repair it. Do you have a link for the booster fan? I have a branch that's weak so it might help. Thanks.
There is a link above but it is the Vortex vtx400p if you want the pressure sensor. It will not change the overall CFM of your system but it will redirect air to where you want it. I had to pinch off most of the nearest ducts to my furnace using the little dampers on the ducts to assist in things. Those two things worked pretty good together.

That compressor pulls maximum 20 Amps!! Hope that helps
One more question, did you measure subcool & superheat for your unit? Was your superheat within the range specified by the manual? Thanks.
Curious about the savings on electricity from last July and August 2023. kWh usage for the 159 hours it ran in July?

@@SteveRivett thanks for the model number. I don’t think you posted the link for this. I will try to find it online. Only see the non-P version so far
