Trane Heat Pump kills ANOTHER compressor | What could be causing this Mess | HVAC Service 2024

I have a 2800sq ft house in need of a new system. First company came out and said "oof, that return duct is only 10in dia for the 1st floor and 14in dia for the 2nd floor. It will be impossible to give you a Heat Pump that will perform". The 2nd company came and said "no problem, we will throw in a 4.5ton system and you will like the rebates and energy savings". I appreciated that the first company gave an honest assessment of my setup and limitations.

@@ericw357 Yeah the first Company definitely sounds like they did all their homework for you. That 2nd one is just trying make money and doesn’t care for the customer. The duct work on the system in this video was only 10in diameter on a single return for the whole top floor on a 3 ton heat pump. It was killing compressors and motor the day it was installed.
