Yep, sounds like it's calling for the second stage, (which doesn't exist on your system) It's a 2 stage stat, so go in to the user settings and change your second stage differential to the max (...

Drill 4 small holes directly across from each other 90 degrees apart, thread some heavy duty fishing line through the holes and stretch tightly. Should do the trick.

The gas fireplace surely added to your gas consumption, and I'm sure the new windows here have helped me out. Comfort is a big factor in your choice of HVAC, so it sounds like we have both come out...

I know that in the summer time it would actually be more expensive to run the water heater and dryer, but not that much. At our current gas rates it is virtually break even. However, when you factor...

The outdoor stat generally needs it's wiring ran separate from the thermostat. Also if it is ran near any other voltage wiring it could throw it off. One of the things I've seen is the wiring is ran...

Best bet that is available to homeowners is the Sears water heater. Manufactured for them by State Industries. Since you don't really have a fuel option, just run down to your local Sears store and...

I'm not educated enough to give opinions on one brand or the other, but from what I've read I would indeed stay with the mini-split in the bonus room. The person who gave you the original quote was...

The new traps have a rubber flapper in them. They typically are in the 3/4" nipple that threads into the tank itself. I've heard that if you in make a u-turn with the hot water pipe, that is the most...

Can anybody register as a professional member? Seems like I'm seeing more DIY posts by people with professional member status. Gets kind of confusing as I like to hear from professionals, not people...

I guess it just goes to show that just because it's an advanced system doesn't mean that it has to be a complicated problem. Also shows what the benefit is to having a reputable installer that you...

Are we sure this just isn't the maintanence interval that the contractor has set in the thermostat for routine cleaning? If it is, then he didn't set the time interval correctly, 3 days should be...

Just went down this road, so here is the bottom line in my opinion. Cost up front is considerabley more, savings on running one compared to the newer tank style, about 20%. Anuual cost on running a...
