You might try calling your gas utility. They will usually check your gas pressure at no cost. A faulty gas regulator will result in the symptoms you describe. In-shot burners are not as tolerant of...

I just went on a similar diet, didn't wait for the doctor, but I'm not having any trouble with the food. Go ahead and have that pizza, but make it "low carb pizza", I make it in a cast iron skillet...

Hey guys this is getting way too serious. When I first posed the question I was (and still am) looking for technical explanation to that particular answer. I appreciate your comments and I even...

THOSE RATINGS ARE THE RESULT OF THE LAB TEST, NOT THE ACTUAL TEST. SOME MFGS PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION OF THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THE TEST WAS CONDUCTED.

WE HAVE ANOTHER GAS CO HERE, MICHIGAN CONSOLIDATED, NOW PARTNERS WITH DETRIOT EDISON THAT HAS A HIGHER STANDARD OF PROFESSIONALISM FOR THEIR RESIDENTIAL TECHS. CONSUMER'S SEEMS TO HAVE THE WORST. I...

JUST CURIOUS, WHERE DO YOU ACCESS THE LAB TESTING INFORMATION? BUT, I HAVE TO BE FROM MISSOURI ON THIS ONE. IF THERE WAS SOME UNKNOWN (TO ME) PHYSICAL PROCESS INVOLVED HERE SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE TOLD...

Hey, don't knock Doctor Death, at least he got his degree and license to practice. We have lot's of other guys up here putting people to sleep without a GED even.

Isn't nice to be hated by someone just for the accident of your birth, by people that have nothing better to do all day than sit around and think of good reasons why they should hate someone they...

I actually tried to read this but my brain hurts. What is the word for someone who can talk for a long time without saying anything? ( no it's not djantz ) It's what politicians do when they...

Thanks midhvac for the mention of the SEER rating. I don't want anyone to think I'm from the Flat Earth Society or something like that, I'm really not a non-conformist for the joy of it. But now that...

Hey neighbor, I have had many experiences as well with red tagging. I think the CE techs feel that everybody should be on their maint. program, if not they try to scare the hell out of 'em. I have...

Hey Guys thanks for your response, must have taken my glasses off when I posted. I understand the "apparent" reasoning behind this, that's why I made the quip about a "cold anticipator" in the first...

The first thing you have to do is show up for work every day and give it 100 percent, every day. You can't learn anything about this trade or any other if you are at home nursing a hangover or taking...

Around South Eastern Michigan we have lots of trouble with gas co. techs., the ones from Consumer's Energy especially, tend to be former meter readers and they think that being a tech for a Public...

The cleaner ones were well staffed and usually had a couple operating engineers around all the time and they were all high pressure steam and hot oil boilers. What you are saying is probably true,...

I used to work for a mfgr's rep for Vapower, Sellers and Miura boilers as well as Cat Electrical generators in the Detroit area a while back. I remember a lot of the mechanical rooms and physical...

Hi to Plain Spoken, I appreciate your explanation and it's possible that you are entirely correct as to why many new furnaces have that function built in. But, to argue against that reasoning is...

To T Martin, Thanks for your comments on the Nate certification. I may encourage my staff to get it with a pay incentive, I get mostly entry level people. This would be a good goal for them and of...

Hey BaldLoonie, I won't argue that some engineer could think there was economy in doing that, but any heat that is absorbed at the evaporator will release again as the pressure equalizes after the...

Hi, I am a new member. Are there any answers (correct) to the HVAC test questions?? Are they from the NATE certification test? Any thoughts on the NATE certification? I thought these questions were...

I know this thread is a bit old, but there's a lot of information on the subject of candles and soot. One site is http://www.baileyeng.com/edu.htm, I print a few copies to give to the occupants, but...
