ut that will mean at least one more day with internal temps as high as 85.. I cooked a whole pork loin, on the egg of course, Sunday. In the meantime I don't want to do anything that adds heat indoors.

Crazy, I'm in the same boat. Our A/C (also a Trane) just went out. Installed new with the house in 2011. Luckily I have a home warranty. 85? I wouldn't mind 85 at all. It's been in the upper 90's here in Dallas the last couple days. They are supposedly coming tomorrow to see what's wrong but my money is also on the Compressor. Why cant this crap happen in the fall?

Even on low stage it should be a de humidifying beast....your sensible load is low latent high....is the suction line ( big pipe) sweating and cold? Is it warm?Visalia, Ca @lkapigian

If he can't get it done right, I will call the other people that gave me a quote for installation. Their techs are first rate but their sales reps are pirates. They quoted me the same rate for a 14 seer single stage Lennox as this guy charged for a 17 seer 2 stage Trane. That rather offended me as I was an existing residential customer for service and had used them on several commercial projects that I oversaw over the previous 20 years. -

ts low on refrigerant....if the LL was cool there could be a restriction but warm ...its Definatly not a staging issueVisalia, Ca @lkapigian

16i with the Scroll 2 stage with the unloader?
Or is this the 19i with 2 physical compressors?

I'm assuming 2 stage scrollVisalia, Ca @lkapigian -
@lkapigian Not impossible to fail mechanically but, that compressor is very resilient. Just my .02LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

two stage scroll compressor. I insisted on two stage due to the high humidity locally. I wanted either American Standard or Trane due to many recommendations and ratings. Since this guy mostly did Trane , that is what I went with.

This forum is a killer group of people...
On a side note, hang in there fellas. If it was 85+ in my house, I’d be pantless in a hotel room... -

Yeah my money is on the board. I don't know if I've ever heard of this. In my experience compressors either work or they don't.

I've never had a two stage 'get stuck'. I'm not sure how it would. I think it's a low refrigerant charge issue, possibly an issue with the cut board, but I think it's not switching due to low pressure, i.e. your unit would then freeze.
I am, however, in Michigan. Our demand is lower and I've only installed a dozen or so two-stage A/C units, my own included. I have, however, serviced many. I am a Licensed Mechanical Contractor in HVAC service and installation in Michigan since 2003, D.O.D. Refrigeration licensed since 1995.
