Which professional would install this? I contacted local HVAC and they don't do it. Any tips on whom I should be looking for? Thanks! I live in MA.

I would somone with A/C or electrical experience. I have some experience with home repairs and was able to install it myself. It's really not difficult if you have a nearby outlet for power. John.

I would assume a general contractor or handy man service would be your best bet. In all honesty though, it really isn't that difficult of an install if you are a little handy. If not, definitely try looking up a handy man service.

We called several types of professionals (electricians, appliance repair, handyman, etc) and couldn't get anyone to install it. We were replacing one a handyman put in about 10+ prior so we just did it ourselves. It was not too hard as we had the prior one to model the install/wiring after. I don't think we could have done it if it was a new install.

I did it myself. It was pretty straight forward especially referencing otherpeople's reviews. I would think a handyman or electrician.

This was installed by my son at his house. I believe it came pre-charged with refrigerant. You'll either need professional installation or at least be reasonably familiar with these systems. I advise against trying it yourself without a reasonable level of "know-how".

What Darren said is spot on. It should be fine. 75 RPM is only 7.5% (0.075) faster than the one you have now. If you still want another opinion, I would drop by the local technical college/school and find the HVAC instructor. Ask him or her to make sure. And it would be free advice, too.

Sorry I can't help. Bought this unit for someone else and it was installed by another person at a different location. I'd suggest calling the manufacturer.

It should be installed somewhere inbetween the exaust fan and the thing you see outside. I bought thiss to stop cold air from coming into the dryer. Works better than the vents that are normaly outside which you would keep. If you really want to stop the air completely (which I did) then you'll have to doctor this up a little bit. A Flood Light doesn't even penitrate mine after. It works great now

You need to improvise your own installation. How can the manufacturer anticipate all of the installation variations? If you can't figure it out, hire someone to do the installation for you.

sounds like a scam. Buy the unit yourself. Fasten it to a wall or in your crawl space. Get some shark fittings from the hardware store to attach your new plumbing pipes ( it should not be more than two unions ) screw on the intake and outtake to the hot water supply. You can install it for less than $100.00

My unit fan runs continuously no matter what the setting. I never hear the compressor kick in.I am concerned about my electric bill also. How did any of you speak to a representative? All I got was to e-mail them and I have not heard back. Right now I am trying to use the bucket and see if shuts off when the bucket is full. What is a good setting for a large basement? I would appreciate any help.

I found the correct filter locally at Henson Robinson hvac in Springfield, IL. I think the correct filter needs to be obtained at a Carrier dealer. The cost was $18 which was less than the online price.

I would recommend that you engage a person with HVAC experience as there is a sheet metal work duct work likely to replace a section of existing filter holder and cold air return duct. The wiring may need an electrician (or HVAC guy) as the unit has to work in concert with your ac/furnace blower. You can do it yourself, if you are comfortable with both areas. Most people are not.

We took ours into a professional for installation. It will cost about $100-$150 more but is worth it. You would have to do the same even if you purchased this from a dealer. Hope this helps.

Hi - Like you, I really like this unit. My I suggest contacting the mfg. If anyone can help it should be them. Best of luck!

If you have to be shown how to do the install, my advice is that you not do it. It requires basic sheet metal, electrical and plumbing skills. If you don't know what you're doing, you will make a big mess, expensive to fix and maybe break your furnace.

Dear Amanda, it is preferred to have it installed professional but there are instruction on how to install it yourself. The cost to have it installed may very from install. If you have any questions can you please call 1-888-768-1710.

It sounds as though the thermostat is not functioning correctly. I would call the vendor from whom you bought the machine...or the nearest dealer.

Jerry had good advice. If you do not have testing equipment and are not familiar with the components of the unit you would be better advised to call a heating contractor.

I bought mine last year from a local major home improvement store they sold it at a significantly lower price, and offered free delivery and installation. I preferred to buy it local as it would be easier if it appears any problem and because of the free delivery/installation.
