Thanks for your input, Jim. I have no intention of turning this into a foodfight. I'm sure Bacharach has come a long way and I'm sure my experience is not indicative of the company as a whole. But it...

Can I not diassemble the 310 myself and replace sensors when they go bad? Do they need special calibration? I am well aware of "rinsing" sensors and keeping the unit moisture-free. Unfortunately for...

We're probably gonna get a 310 and order a new probe for the 327. The sensors were replaced and the firmware upgraded not too long ago. The boss will probably take the repaired 327 since he's not in...

Any reviews on the Testo 310 out there? No luck repairing said thermocouple...

No sir, the probe broken down as far as I can get looks like this:

The larger outer metal piece was crimped tightly into the plastic piece and I think the smaller metal piece...

Has Bacharach improved on their analyzers? I had a Fyrite Pro 125 and wasn't impressed with the reliability OR customer service...

R.E. Michel sells the wand/probe assembly, let's just say they want half the price of a new "budget" analyzer. Bossman has agreed to just buy a new one, but I figured I would attempt to fix it first.

Going to try this weekend, I thought some grizzled vet here may have done it already. I can send pics of the probe disassembled...I assume the thin inner rod has to be soldered back to the metal with...

In the market for a new combustion analyzer, fellas...what's the word? The thermocouple on my beloved Testo 327-1 broke off :(

C'mon, don't you guys know how much metal perf. strap costs?! :LOL:

::DD: This could possibly be the best board on the net! One time we got a call for no heat on a gas furnace. Diagnostic code indicated a problem with the pressure switch. Heard the inducer motor...

I've had this problem before as well. In my case, the capacitor terminals were corroded enough to prevent proper contact to the connectors. Cap tested good but fan wouldn't work. After some filing...

Did you sell them a dehumidifier too? :LOL: Nice install!

Yeah, we've gotten so fed up with odd-ball factory filter rack sizes and customers' inability to change them that we just sell a hi-efficiency set-up whenever we can.

Floyd's still around? Been to a couple of his classes, that guy's a riot! "Smoke 'em if ya got 'em!" You'd get to see his goofy watch lighter every 15 mins. for a smoke break!:LOL:

Wouldn't the boiling point far exceed 212 *F at 12 psi?

Thanks for the info Steve! :cheers:

Just an excuse to make some fancy transitions! I always try to get better at custom ductwork, because I know it's not my strong suit. Of course, you can always buy pre-fab, right? :LOL: I know what...

There is no switch-over or shut-off as far as the piping configuration goes from what I can see. He just turns the boiler switch off when it's no longer needed for heat. He said it can happen at any...

I'm almost positive the "hot" outlet of the tankless coil feeds directly into the "cold" side of the water heater. No circulator in the piping and yes, it is a well system. You're saying that a...

Yeah, I'm not sold on the duct cleaning thing. Besides, there's already an established company around that specializes in just that...whom we'd have to compete with. It looks like our local community...

Time for your thinking caps, gentlemen! Just got done a tune-up on a Columbia EM-100 oil-fired boiler that we installed 3-5 years ago. The customer described to me a condition where he opens the hot...

Hey guys, our company is looking to crack into the natural gas and propane service industry. Up until now, we have been primarily an oil heat and A/C service company. The boss was thinking of getting...

Although it would be a major pain, you could hose out the evap. coils with water for customers that have an annual A/C tune-up done. Or you could try a no-rinse coil cleaner, even though you are then...
