I have been trying to figure out why I was having problems with the Vortex's not creating the heat they should in cold weather, while also creating a situation where I was having problems with the blower bearings from excess heat. Well I found it!!!!! The blower heat exchangers where clogged!!!!!!!!!. There is nothing in the manual about any maintenance that should be performed. I would suggest that anyone who has this type of unit go to your local HVAC store and buy coil cleaner. Take the exchanger apart give it a good cleaning and then do it on a 6 month schedule. On the 7000H, check the outlets on the blower heat exchange and open them up so it can relieve the back pressure on the blower. A rebuild on these blowers start at $2500.00 and if you have to replace it will cost you about $11,000.00. This is a serious screw up that has cost a lot of time and money to find.
