    Funny I was so quick to turn it on I didn't look for the led until after lol of course it is lit. Just ran a heater cycle and now running A/C cycle. I do have a evap. leak ( do have oil on the copper line too) but making sure it runs proper on all. A/C is cooling but won't be using it until coil is replaced.

    If you want to save some bucks and not replace the coil until you are ready to do the complete system, pick up a can of nu-calgon easy seal..............stuff is supposed to work very well on small leaks ( like in a evap coil ) I've never used any cause all I work on is heavy commercial/industrial mechanical equipment. But I personally know techs that swear by it...........

    Was almost done. Well today I got a bug up my but and decided to move the tstat from the small hallway that heats and cools to fast compared to the rest of the house to the wall in the main part of the house (stays 2 to 5 degrees cooler than the halway.) Well at trip to lowes, bed bath and beyond (the wife wanted a can opener--pffft) and 5 hours of work it's moved. About all I can say from this and everything else about the way this house was built any updates or mods or anything really is more work then it's worth HVAC saga

    The small jobs always seem to turn into a big pain in the butt for me...........hopefully the work will be worth it.

    Yep. The way they did the wire originally they pin'd it between drywall and a stud---wth. Found that when I put in a new tstat the first of the year. On this one running the wire it had to go straight down then to the left to get into a small space that appears to be a gap between the drywall and stud--makes no sense. But so far it seems my hypothesis was correct now I've got to fix the drywall where the original was
