@@HVACShopTalk Thanks. I am in North Carolina also. Does the blower speed and outdoor unit just not modulate enough?

good tech tip NEVER use ink pins when laying out registers on painted walls or walls that will be painted. the ink will bleed though the paint if you ever make a mistake

question, how did you figure out the proper tap 2 speed? Also, what filter size are you using (ACTUAL)? I can't be sure if bosch's manual size is for actual or nominal. We have a 5 ton and it says 20x22. We got one with that size NOMINAL, and the actual is a bit smaller and kind of seems to be too small for the air handler. Curious on your take? Thank you.

Sweet unit

Thought the Bosch IDS has the dip switch to lower coil temp for humidity control.

Late hello here! I am looking to have this installed in my modular home, which has flex cross over ducting in the crawlspace to connect my two mainline metal duct runs. Is there any restriction on this from Bosch? Or advisory against it? I'm waiting on installers to come to a consensus before I feel confident purchasing.

I have the 3 ton 1.0 version; with 333 to 338 psi on the high side and 125 on the low side; sub cooling 10 right on target but the superheat is 11.5 to 12 (manual says it has to be bigger than 12 and lower than 18) Also its about $100 in electric bill per month at 20c/watt including tax; I am trying to figure out if the system is charged properly or if its something wrong with it. Can you give me some insight? as a point of reference? also my condenser outside exhaust temp is about 15-20 degree difference

Are you still fighting humidity issues or have you worked it out?

Are these systems just plug n play. I have an old ac until with a heat pump and it's time to make a change... I want to make sure there won't be any compatibility issues

Yikes, at 1:23.. I see a sizable crack above the bathroom doorway. Hope that wasn't a structural issue. I've flipped too many houses recently and know those cracks all too well

Do you know how many cycles per hour you are getting? Any idea what is causing unit to not dehumidify well?

My assumption is the latent capacity of the machine is very low. Conversations with friends that have installed these supports this assumption.

I have the 1.0 18 seer model 3 ton. I have a Honeywell t-10 2 stage thermostat. I ran t2 from the stat to the 4th tap on x13 and runs 2nd tap on first stage from the board! Amazing comfort and energy savings here in Phoenix AZ! Your gonna love it!

I have some issues with this machine dehumidifying, but I bet it is perfectly suited for your climate. The 2.0 has a two stage blower standard, so you kind of turned yours into a 2.0 with that mod. Sounds like something I would do!

The question is witch system do you have, if the air flow is set for the tonnage the lode requires, and the duct work is the correct size for the tonnage. Also is the duct seal, is the in door unit in a attic or crawl space. If the system has high humidity I would look for a Bosch Accredited Dealer to check the system out. I service the Durham area.

Hi, if you could make a video on how much cfm we need for a room, I was told that 1 cfm for 1 square foot but what it has high ceilings

@HVACShopTalk

CFM per room depends on the results of a complete manual J load calculation

What thermostat?

Hi, can you share how many BTU's and the price of the unit? thanks.

I won't share cost, but it is a nominal 36,000 BTUs.

Luckily a 1/4 fits but they're metric...haha. Also you can run that as low as 350 CFM for dehumidification

Nice looking install Zack! That Bosch outdoor unit looks really nice but as much as I hate to say it that air handler reminds me of an Ameristar. Maybe I’m wrong but the way the cabinet and evaporator coil looks that’s what it reminds me of. At least the Bosch will have an expansion valve unlike the pistons the Ameristars have. My boss sometimes sells Ameristar on low budget jobs and I hate them. It’s the cheapest crap I’ve ever installed. I guess Oxbox has taken it’s place now and I’ve installed several of those as well. I’ve also installed a few Run Tru splits too. The air handler looks just like a Trane tem without the paint job but the condensing unit looks like trash. I’d rather stick to Trane or maybe Carrier but I don’t get to pick what I put in.

These Bosch systems have a very close physical resemblance to Ameristar. I am not sure how many components actually are the same (like coils) but the chassis design seems to be the same.

Should’ve used bar type registers. Allow more airflow and look better

I will elaborate. This system is having significant trouble dehumidifying my house. I have seen RH% well into the seventies. To combat this I have lowered the blower speed to tap one (most likely 800-900 CFM) and disabled the machine from staging up from the thermostat. It should be noted I live in coastal NC, where it is quite humid.

Tstat on the Bosch should only be on off switch. Remove all intelligence features from tstat because the unit haz intenigence built into control board. And there is a dip switch setting to lower coil temp to combat dehumidification issues.
