thank you for watching 👀 😀
Hello, first off I enjoy your content. No one is out here trying to teach new techs correct practices. We wanna see a twinned system ac and coil/components and installing tips.
Man you are going places. Good stuff man. Stay humble Thank you
Installing one tomorrow, got the units in, and this video and comments gave me very good insight into what is going on. I'm using a twining board, but if that doesn't work, I feel confident because I can always fall back on the 24v relay option.

Very cool, bro
Don’t necessarily need a relay just a jumper wire but great video!

Love the set up. The biggest problem I run into is trying to figure out what the guy before me did. I love a good Frankenstein but an out in the open “industry standard” fix that doesn’t make my tiny brain hurt is awesome.

This was exactly what you are talking about Both of these systems were messed up and not wired properly there were actually 2 relays instead of one and I had to remove 1 of the relays so I know what you're talking about

@@TaddyDigest That is my life. I’ve been doing a lot of work for an apartment complex that was built in the 40s. My frustration had got to the point that I finally talked to the head maintenance guy and told him that he was paying me to fix stuff that his other two crews are screwing up and he was paying for the same word twice. He told me it was in the budget. The other two crews are cheap and he knows they get about 80% of it right so they budget in me batting clean up. I stopped shaving my bill thinking he was loosing money on rework.
Bro I am super stoked how you explain this wonderful tremendous knowledge that is very helpful and entertaining 👏 🙌 👌

I just did a twinning system today with S8X1 furnaces. Was curious if anyone has another way of doing it. I followed the wiring diagram in the booklet and it work great. Glad to see a video of it as well.

@@OcRefrig No way! On board 20amps relay! And you can also take the two wire from relay signal and put one own relay!
How about when you also have 2 separate A/C condensing units? I totally like how you did it with a Peanut relay for heat.

So you are taking common and white and enigizing red and white on the other furnace ok that's a different way than I learned but nothing wrong with it thanks that's why I watch videos always learning a different way to do things keep em coming
Tad do the transformers have to be set up a certain way for something like this
Thank you sir very good information! Any possible way you can make a video on a twin system with a twinning board ,to see how does it work and maybe some troubleshooting on it.. God bless you sir .

That would be cool. Haven't seen anyone do a video on Twinning boards yet. I like to think about Twinning boards like Zoneboards, only you need an extra board for every system you need to sync phase. I've seen up to 6 furnaces on 1 thermostat. Crazy looking if you've never messed with it. There are some massive churches with this kind of set up. Remember K.I.S.S. in Hvacr. Its easy to over think it when fixing someone else's over thinking.
Good job. Keep up the good work

I have a problem blowing a board on twined set up that is having issues I didn’t install units originally
Please can you explain this twining very well Sir
can you possibly make a video on how to troubleshoot an actual twining module board . Please
I’m working apartments built in the 1940’s that have been turned from two bedrooms to 3 bedrooms by removing a wall. They have central heat on one side and a floor furnace on the other side. I was wondering if I could do this twinning so the call for heat signal would be better on the floor furnace? We are replacing the 750mv thermostats like crazy since the floor furnaces are on a separate thermostat anyway.
I enjoyed your video very clear and easy illustration I’m trying to twin 80,0000. BTU 2 stage furnace. If possible please can you give me some Idea or any illustrations? Thank you.
I’m confused. Why add a relay to unit #2 for heat mode v. directly running your red & white wires from unit #1 to unit #2’s board? Thanks in advance!
You the man! Edit: Thank you!

Can’t do it. Each furnace has its own transformer. 1) if u disconnect one of the furnaces transformers might work if transformer is big enough to handle load of 2 boards and relays.

What about the evaporator coil? Do you have two coil paired together or one big coil?

What do I do if one unit goes down? Is it safe to run the other unit while waiting for a repair?
@TaddyDigest

Usually, you have to wait until the other unit is back up. And running Because it's usually one circuit and one large indoor coil
Can't the second burner be wired so it acts like a two stage furnace? Better comfort.

How does the refrigerant circuit work in those twin applications is there two line sets for each furnace evaporator coil that goes into a distributor box before it goes to condenser? I’m not familiar with those setups I’m mostly residential.

The 24v from the transformer of the second unit are always present on the relay just waiting for the signal from first unit to let it through.
Don't understand why the relay is necessary on the twinning when running an additional set of thermostat wire from one furnace circuit board to the other would accomplish the same. Also, on the York set up, why isn't there a wire going to Y1 in the second furnace that's not being controlled by the thermostat? Won't that prevent the blower from coming on the the second furnace on a call for cooling?

Wiring board to board would not work, they both still need to use their own 24v power to peform the control
