Thank you everybody. Happy Holidays!

Omg! Thats too funny. I know you're right. I get thw idiot award.

Yeah I should've ohmed it out. I was being a wimp in the cold. Not thinking and trying to cheat as I was warming up.

What was rhe code with that? Will it "stick" it closed with a cracked pin or did it break the circuit?

I had the meter. I was just going on what symptoms this unit telling me. Its as if its stuck closed, but wasn't sure if it was the relay. Finally got a hold of tech support and they say switch is...

Apprenticanic. I do agree with what you're saying, from your perspective, but I just simply don't remember how the intermittent system works. i work on newer systems and am not in the service van...

im wrong again.
thank you everyone for the help.

hi. I will humbly try to explain it because I have forgotten some basics of intermittent pilot valve setups because I haven't seen one in years, working on newer model units. he was being sarcastic...

HI again. I took a little refresher here http://www.ignitors.com/glossary/pilot-lights.html

Since the wires were plucked off the board and taped off intentionally by the last tech, I thought...

I admit my knowledge is limited to newer models and I haven't been in the presence of a senior tech in several years. I also appreciate leading me to the knowledge I seek. thank you.

Funny. this is the attitude I get from hvac-talk after 18 years of hvac? im a sub. just thought I could get a little help. wtf?

Hello, I did a "no heat" call, Goodman PGO (?- scratched) 150k pkg gas/elec. electric spark ignition. the orange and black wires were taped off to the side that go to the igniter but everything else...

This client is really turning into One of those cheap ass guys that doesn't even want to do it nearly the way he's suppose to. He told me that he will be the only business that walks dogs every two...

thanks guys. I thought 4 ac/hr was the minimum. and up until yesterday, all he wanted was a quote on a ventilation system so my original design was that. but now he's gonna do it right, if he wants...

Happy Holidays, everyone! A client requested ventilation only for a dog daycare business, which I designed into a 1600 cfm exhaust fan, with 8' ceilings at 4 air changes per hour (this is a bit more...

appreciate all the responses, but i know the routine... just looking for an opinion on whether a clean pleated filter with a relatively higher static pressure drop has made a diff for anyone on an...

Also, when u say .38 (or wtevr it was) "static pressure, do u mean that's ur total esp, ur reading on the return side, or the reading on the supply side? i believe bothsides should be about even and...

just wondering if your registers are blowing at the floor or toward the ceiling ....:bump:

thanks for the reply, wndering also about possible bad effects. i seem to just lack knowledge on it. even more impressed by your tag at the bottm...

My customer on the lo charge call also asked my opnion about condenser covers, saying he heard from more than one person that they were bad because they cause fans to rust. I said that although...

On a service call and found a unit with a lo charge. Customer has a pleated filter, and as i initially checked for airflow and answered his questions about its importance, he asked if i should...

new construction service call about a month ago, particularly cold day in massachusetts, no heat on a new gms8045-3. i messed with it a few minutes and figured it was a bad pressure switch. (this...

I believe the condenser actually had the male ends on both the hi and lo side and the female pieces came with schrader valves and solder ends for the lineset. There was no obvious pin that would...

...what happened to the drunk Catholic priest who caused it?

A Friendly's store manager asked me to give her my rates. What else can i include, besides my company profile, to take advantage of this opportunity? Or should I just offer to give her references...

First, I really do appreciate everyone's sincerity; that's hard to come by itself sometimes. I'm sorry to sound very judgemental, but it seems we both were just a little too sensitive, although i do...

sorry mdp, i should've percieved your tone from your actual message (thank you), not your motto on the bottom. thank you everyone.

thank you for a very informative reply mdp, but i do not appreciate your arrogance. i do not have a daddy that owned a company for twenty years and i was never the department manager's kiss ass when...

I'm not sure if the pulley is fixed or variable; if there's room on the shaft to reset the wheel, i can assume it's variable, right? I did not measure the static, but I know its extremely low, most...

Ummmmmm,...expand please.

New GMS80 with ckl24. did startup yesterday for cooling and both heat and ac came on at the same time. I checked low voltage wiring and everything was correct. I did replace the control board while...

Yes, nice install, but where's the insulation on the supply duct? That's a code, no?

New home I'm bidding on gives me heat loss of 74k btu on first floor. Looking at the hydroair specs - I could obtain this by using 180 F water temp in the 3 ton model or I'd need the 5 ton model...

installing ICP 7.5T two-stage condenser on roof of mall; MUST have running by tomorrow. It's freezing in New England; I have never charged anything in the cold before, so I need alot of help.

I just realized something: I understand how the vapor, if sitting in the horizontal run, will condensate, but, even after the furnace shuts down, how wouldn't the bvent act like a chimney in the...

I will perform said tests tomorrow. If you don't mind, I'd like to be prepared to possibly remedy the situation when I go, so would you care to share some of those simple solutioins? I appreciate it.

I pretty much ruled out the roof and could tell it came from the vent seams. It's 4", as per instr. man., it's a propane conversion, I field-installed it and adjusted outlet pressure to 9.5", even...
