Cash doesn't make a difference to many companies.
Gotta show the IRS where the money came from to pay the employees.

to some it does.

What is a good---no scratch that, better than good T-stat that is touch screen with
an illuminated backlite screen that is either soft blue or amber in color. I am color blind
so the green backlight with black text doesn't work so well for me.

The White Rodgers touch screens are called True Blue and are good. Not sold at HDepot etc. Your installer should be able to get one from a supply house.

I have a Lennox Heat pump that the Combustion Air Inducer motor is vibrationg and making a terrible sound. I searched the part down but all suppliers are out of stock. (just my luck)

Is there an adjustment on this motor or fan blade or are the windings shot?? I do not mind replacing it provided I can find one but if anyone has an idea about this that would be helpfull I would appriciate it.

Its a G50UH-36B-090 Lennox Part # 31L5501
and Fasco Motor 7002-2975

It is a forced air furnace and not a heat pump for your info. Try Cozyparts.com

The unit comes together as a package and needs to be changed as such. You may also need a new pressure switch with it as the rating may have changed. Make sure they check on that also. I get my parts direct from Lennox and they do that for me.

Well I went with Home Depot. The contractor they sent me did a very thorough job from the Man-J to the
use of nitrogen while brazing to running the new line set neatly along the wall and out of sight. They replaced
my duct work and tirelessly worked to resolve a noise that developed with the new wrapped duct that was not
there with the internally fiberglass lined old duct I had. They were conscience about cleaning up and made sure
it was working correctly. I gave them a tip at the end of the job because I felt they went above and beyond.

I chose the Trane XR14 mated to a variable speed Trane air handler with a White Rodgers touchscreen t-stat.
The system is very easy to use and operate. The information I learned here enabled me to hire the right contractor
and to assure myself that as I watched them, I could tell the difference between snake oil and compressor oil.

Thank you to everyone that contributed.
