    A KING Valve is located on the outlet of a receiver, with that being said, if there is a valve on the inlet of a receiver, that is a QUEEN Valve, the valves you were referring to are the “suction service valve” & “liquid line service valve”.

      I have a carrier infinity unit and it too is a high efficiency unit. However, it’s been nothing but a nightmare and very expensive to repair. Condenser fan motor costs over 1,200 dollars to replace. Having to replace it every two years. The cost of repairs far exceeds the savings on your utility bill. Hope you have better luck than I did!!

    For maintenance, I clean my drain with a cup of vinegar and let it sit for 15 minutes, then flush with a gallon of hot water every few months, the drain line is only 15' from the sump pump in basement. Just wondering if any benefit to adding that blue rope to an existing system vs. a new install.

    we have such high humidity that ive had to go to the pvc 1120 drain pipe on a few of the Bosch units, because they remove so much moisture from the air, but I am curious to know how that prev clog works, I could always go to a 1" if I needed to, then I doubt it would ever clog with both of those factors.

    Doesn't matter how good or efficient a unit is if your going to put it right under a dry vent. Would have been a good time to have moved the condenser. Might want to use a level next time you replace a thermostat. Keeping it real keeping it raw.
