replace hvac system question

Posted by WSZsr on July 10, 2006, 6:22 pm

I am considering aTrane XL19i system to replace my old Carrier system. I
have a 7/8" lineset that is about 20 feet long. Is that adequate for an
XL19i. I do not want to lose efficiency due to a lineset that is too small

Thanks from Round Rock, TX

I wonder why Trane ships the 4 & 5 ton 19i models with 1-1/8" suction
ports. if 7/8 supposedly is "good enough" ??

If you're smart, you'll put in the 1-1/8.

My impression of Trane, is that they use specialize parts, to make it
hard for other guys to do the service or installs. I'd be tempted go
with Rheem, Rudd, York, Goodman, or some other brand.

How many tons is the system you need? And how large is the liquid
line? 20 feet isn't all that long a lineset.
