First of all, I know almost nothing about heating and cooling.
I have a copper tube & and insulation wrapped tube that come out of my furnace, up into the basement ceiling, and then outside the house and connect to the heat pump unit.
These tubes vibrate so much that they are driving me insane. I've found all the places I can see where they make contact with the basement ceiling joists, and added insulation between the joists and the pipes... but the house still vibrates slightly, and its making me crazy.
My limited knowledge tells me that any machine that vibrates like this probably has an issue that needs to be addressed. Is there something inside the unit that I need to get to and clean in order to stop this? Or is this a job for someone who actually knows what they are doing?
PS - it does NOT appear to be the blower motor that is giving off this vibration.
Help?
