This may sound weird but I look for humility. Too much arrogance in this trade as it is. If a kid has humility then he also will have a willingness to listen, learn and take direction. Aptitude will...
Blue wire nuts! Pretty! Thats about the only thing I like about this. Use Liquitite and clean up that insulation. Take some pride in your work man!!
Like STEVEusaPA said, Get a few quotes and opinions. A lot less expensive to repair than replace.
You're spending too much time worrying about nothing. Install it and fire it up. If it works for a while then you win. If it $hits the bed buy a new one.
That's a nice burner. Only wish more were being installed. I've seen a few around southern Ontario but not many...

Sounds a lot like getting an ODP card up in Canada. You need an Ozone Depletion Prevention card up here to buy refrigerant of any kind. However, many of the refrigeration wholesales won't sell to...
Nice website. Not familiar with Powermaster. Are they made in Mexico for the mexican market? I see that they use Riello and Weishaupt burners. I think one picture had a Todd burner. Very interesting....
funny... Cleaver Brooks are made in USA and Canada. They have manufacturing in Stratford, Ontario and Thomasville, Georgia and another plant in Nebrasaka I believe. Nice boilers. I've worked on them...
its pretty easy to work with. One drawback in my opinion is the ability to tweek the combustion curve if needed. Make one adjustment and you almost need to recommission the whole thing. I've...
C'mon guys!! What...no eavestrough?? My Gawd, what shoddy roofing...
According to my friend this was a union contractor. What ever happened to "Doin' it right the first time?" He tells me the fuse block was installed within the last month and those fuses had been...
Sad thing is...he's certified... He knew better.

A friend sent me this pic of some fuses.Note the fuse block to the left. That was installed to correct the mess. Note the fuses to the lower right. The fuses were 25A. Voltage was 575V. Motor...
What's the model #?They look like the Lochinvar Knight XL.
Let me guess. You were a hall monitor growing up...:D
Right on! Most of the inspectors I know from years ago working with Consumers Gas. They're an Ok bunch. Once in a while you meet a d!ck but like I said generally they're there to help.
Don't sweat it. Have an up to date code book and a good bunch of tools. Regarding the analyzer, there are a lot of guys out there without one but can access one when needed. It all depends what...
Ua local 787
Ditto...
Goin' thru that right now...
:stinks:
Sleemans...the preferred beer of Al Capone... Only in Canada...pity.
...and never listen to your boss. Hope you kicked his a$$ for such a rookie mistake.
:payattention:
Good point! So...how many of us wear those safety glasses and gloves sitting on our dashboards...?
Golf, old school photography, throwing ribs on the smoker and waiting for the results. Oh yeah, and listening to all you whining babies who blubber about this being such a stressful job...
...
That's crazy!
Sounds like a restriction, kinked line, blocked F/D, water vapor and non-condensables, ORI isn't working...lots of possibilities...
Rheem is spelt with two E's but Ruud is spelt with two U's...
How old is the existing S/S liner? What's the height and diameter required for this new boiler? These new condensing boilers require very specific venting configurations to work right. You may save a...
Make sure you have between 17.5'F and 21.5'F temperature differential across your evapaorator coil - namely air temp into the blowr assembly and air temp leaving. If it's anything else then call a...

yikes!
That's a good point. I've seen the same. It's up to the company, I guess to supply ones in good order but if they're being abused then the company should make certain tecks culpable. Accidents will...
Yep!
That R-414b is really a nice drop-in but nothing comes close to the original!
Dihydrogen oxide?? Very possible. It is highly reactive with iron. God forbid that we breathe the stuff! That'll kill ya!!:payattention:
That's true. Isn't the ozone layer more affected by brazilian cow farts? Or is that greenhouse gases? I believe cancer was detected in 70% of the rats that were forced to wear polyester liesure suits...
Some countries still sell R-12 in 1 lb canisters... Not everone is interested in what's being done the the earth...
ouch...
Oh what the hell, why not release it into the atmosphere. Just make sure you're in the next county when it happens. :LOL:
Well aren't you special...ooooooo!
Got back from a nice trip down the east coast and started wondering...
How many people who own fifth wheels, travel trailers or A-C class RVs do their own maintenance on their HVAC systems. ...
LOL! ...and then there's Diceman... What's he up to a million?
That could be true. The TSI I was using was about 8 years ago.
I have to agree with pringlel. Use the companys analyzer. The cost and upkeep - unless you are getting a kickback from using yours...
Nice gesture, lads... He will be missed.
Diceman, this one has your name all over it!! LOL
CRAP! Another ten years of you galoots!!:stinks:
ROFLMAO!!!:payattention:
Unless things have changed I found TSI's reaction time to be a bit slow. Good unit otherwise...
