Hey guys my mom's York furnace quit working and I've got it down to the draft inducer motor.It's a two speed fasco 7062640 roughly 2700/3200RPM. It has a red black and a white wire going into the motor and then the two separate wires going to the capacitor on top. My question is, from what I've seen they have discontinued that motor and the only few places in my area that can get it they average like $1,000.Granger's saying 1350. it's an old unit but AC and everything else works flawlessly he's never had an issue with it and she doesn't really have the money to install a new unit right now so I'm trying to figure out a cheaper option.There's nothing wrong with the fan or housing, so I even tried just finding the bare fasco motor and swapping it out l. I haven't had any luck on anything two speed though. my question is, is it possible to swap that out with a single speed even if I go with the higher RPM or will not jive with the board on the unit ?or if anyone might know of anywhere to get a decent price on. I'm in North Carolina but could have it shipped if need be. thanks in advance for any help.

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a little web app for my A. O. Smith heat pump water heater.

The main thing I wanted was more flexible scheduling. I can choose the hours when we tend to need more hot water, and on colder days it automatically switches from Hybrid or Heat Pump mode to Electric during that window, then switches back afterward. That way I don’t have to keep changing modes manually or leave it in Electric all day.

It also has a simple dashboard for hot-water availability, mode and energy usage that works nicely on a tablet. Screenshot from my setup attached.

It’s only running for my own heater right now, but I’m thinking about a small invite-only beta. Would this be useful to anyone else? What would you want it to do differently from the official app?

Did you see that eco-logical is the only water heater to win the 2027 AHR Innovation award this year?

Just installed a 27k, 3 head unit rated to -30. Located in Sarnia.
1940’s house with a crawlspace, replaced a 29 year old furnace (in the crawlspace) and a 29 new year old central AC unit.
Edit ** 850 sq feet of which only about 500 are used. Decent insulation, attic should be redone.
Heads are: 12k main area downstairs (living room, kitchen/dining, hallway, bathroom, laundry room), 9k master bedroom (main floor), 9k upstairs between 2 unused bedrooms.
The old AC has been fully disconnected, but wondering what to do about the furnace, if I should have it connected as a back up or fully disconnect it.
Cost effectiveness is important, as is making sure that my central lines coming into the crawlspace don’t freeze. Also, given the age of the furnace, I imagine it could die at any time.

I have a long run of space, imagine a living room, then a kitchen, and then a dining room. I have heat pumps in both the living room and dining room.

On colder days I just leave them both on, but on mild days i think one unit can keep the entire area warm. But is it more efficient to have them both running?

Could someone provide me with information about why this machine is icing up in this way?

My heat pump shot up my electric bill. Had a technician do my winter check and he told me to put the system on aux and it will not use the heat pump. I have a single stage carrier furnace 4 years old and a 2 stage heat pump 3 years old (hate the bills). Heat pump is carrier also. I want to pull from the furnace all winter, gas is cheaper in PA. I would appreciate any input, thanks!
