Reading Consumer Reports and seeing Maytag heat pumps dead last in the two measured categories. We are worried as the contract is recommending Q104SD, x60k. Please comment and thanks.
Since this installation I have uncontrollable humidity!.Water forms on my vents, mold forms on walls above the vents and shoes has mold in the closets. Moisture gets into food that is in my cabinets! I have a dehumidifier in the basement that never shuts off. I’ve talked to the the guy that installed it but nothing helps! I’ve battled this for about 4 years!!
Sounds like the system is oversized.
Maytag also has a condensing gas pack – the only one on the market at 95% AFUE!
