If the a coil is not freezing up, inspect the A coil drain pan for cracks with that much water in the Aux pan. Just because it is new, it could be plastic and cracked.
Well that's just a "/" style coil and there's no cracks in the pan that I can feel. I twas draining water very well through the pvc by the end of the call but the suction line was HEAVILY saturated, but I just chalked that up to my 70% humidity. But even then, the suction pressure was slowly dropping as the unit ran but then it'd steadily drop the SH as well which made me think in low load conditions the coil would freeze up
@jimjeffries5564 a Milwaukee M18 Transfer Pump. Definitely worth all the money if you have to deal with a lot of drain issues. I've cleared out 30x60 Emergency pans in less than 5min
If they are running AC leaving the fan on will raise the humidity in the home bc the blower will continue to run and blow across that wet coil. You can go up to half ton bigger for the indoor vs the odu. But not vise versa. Make ports by using an inflator tip that can go betweeen cracks and it’s a smaller hole you have to make to check static. Was the fan on the “on” position when you got there?
No I should've been more clear, I just told them to leave it ON for overnight to help with drying up the return. I understand you can go a half ton bigger, but these apartments original systems when built were 2 ton condensers on 2.5 air handlers. Going up to a 2.5 ton all the way around makes sense to me, but not going up a half ton indoor and outdoor on an apartment where I can't do much ductwork changes without ripping down drywall everywhere
You did the best you could do!
👍

What kind of pump were you using to empty the pan

Return air is choked off.
That's what I figured
What’s the water pump ya got?
M18 Transfer Pump
That was clearly not enough return .
🤣🤣 that's what I'm saying
