Maybe I need a certain number of posts?Quote from: Brian270 on May 30, 2026, 10:51:12 AMQuote from: Hgye on May 30, 2026, 08:51:29 AMCan you post some pictures of the installation?Sure will shortly.
Where are the pictures?
Not sure what pictures would do to help answer my question. What pics would help? Furnace? Whatever exposed ducts we still have? Just asking if it would be a good test after a reno install to ensure system is within Trane specs so we dont fry the blower motor.
Cheers

Last post by Brian270 - June 02, 2026, 09:44:36 PMSorry but Im kinda floored nobody replied to this question.
My HVAC guy says nobody does TESP tests yet all I read and watch on internet is HVAC pros doing this like a doc taking your blood pressure.
Thoughts? Cheers

HVAC Help / Static Pressure test
Last post by Brian270 - May 30, 2026, 07:28:11 AMHi,
We converted our home from in floor hydronic to forced air which included running ductwork and installing a furnace/HRV/AC.
Looking back and doing research throughout, there were no manual J,D or S completed, it was designed solely by Installer experience and the least intrusive way to the home.
Now that we are at this point, I believe the only thing we can do to ensure the system is working optimally is perform a static pressure test for furnace efficiency and wait for winter to hope that we have appropriate heat throughout our home..
Everything I read, mentions checking the Total External Static Pressure with a monometer to ensure the system is balanced and not overworking the fan.
My HVAC installer didn't do this yet and we are ready to close out this install.
Should I request this test?
Thoughts please.
Cheers

HVAC Help / Re: Interlocking Trane and Ven...
Last post by Brian270 - May 30, 2026, 06:54:42 AMAdministrator... Thank you for the reply, that solidifies my thoughts from other searches.
Glad I stumbled across this forum and that you took the time to reply. Thank You!
I have read this same thing in a few places. I will show my installer this and hopefully he understands.
He's a reasonable fella and an awesome HVAC system installer just not big on the electrical part of things.
We are just finishing converting our 5 level home over from all in-floor hydronic heat to forced air. There where no ducts in the house so its been a big job but minimal intrusion because of planning and his critical thinking skills.. We are happy with this install but just the final details to button up.
I have one more question/concern I will post separately.
Cheers
