After our exchanger was worked on and the kid left, I noticed he'd wired it for high. It had always been on medium.
I pulled the unit and swapped the wiring around, after finding the color code on line.
It dawned on me a switch to move between speeds without having to pull wire nuts would be nice. To that end, I bought a wafer switch (four layers, one for each circuit and the bottom was for a fourth speed or off) sized for the load. I wired the inputs together and soldered them, then soldered the high, medium and low wires to their own wafer section.
The switch is handy, to be able to move more air in the heat of summer, and something I'll be using on my air scrubber. (I save many of my used 5" x 20" x 20" filters to that end.
The only thing I regret is, I added an off position. Not a problem for me, but someone else might make that selection. Too lazy to remedy that.
