I have an RPJ II, and the filter is external (on the side). The manual says "each unit comes equipped with a filter rack shipped in the blower compartment of the furnace". It goes on to say the...

For homes this size, do those indoor decorative fountains/waterfalls help keep the RH at a decent level? Just curious.

Thanks Too Tall!

Furnace checked out OK, but forgot to ask the serviceman about blower delay settings. They're currently set at the maximums of 60 sec ON delay, 180 sec OFF delay. I have choices of 15-30-45-60 sec ON...

I officially owned all the liability with this and everything else in, on, and around my home, cars, etc. many years ago! Although it probably sounded like a DIY advice question, it was more design...

I just had to troubleshoot and repair my furnace control module (W/R 50A50). It wasn't delivering power to the blower for heat, cool, or even "fan on" t-stat settings. The blower, t-stat signals,...

I'll chime in as a consumer -- your excellent service combined with word-of-mouth will take you far! I select my dentist, doctor, mechanic, etc. based purely on positive word-of-mouth, and when I...

I tend to look at the question starting not from a cost/warranty standpoint, but rather from the functional aspect. My point is, if I'm buying a heating system, then the top decision-making variable...

luvcldair -- I can probably run it under the ducts in one instance, but not all.

hvac wiz -- I totally forgot about possibly using armored type cable - thanks!

In taking a closer look, I MAY be...

Unfortunately, its going to be a fishtape adventure -- I won't be able to use staples anywhere near the crossing points (not without tearing out the ceiling in those areas.)

Hi,

I've got a fully finished basement, and am thinking about putting canned lighting throughout. This is going to require running some new electrical cabling. I have metal supply and return...

cn -- thanks, those diagrams do make things more clear. With the exception of a HEPA shield, that's about the configuration I have for return air and outside air.

docholiday -- Yep, I've already...

That makes me feel better, xandair. Sounds like the original installer was looking out for me. Are backdraft dampers electronically controlled, or are they just weighted such that they hang shut...

Hello,

I have an ICP gas furnace model GUI075A012. Per the installation instructions, and the furnace location, it appears that adequate combustion air is obtained from normal infiltration, and no...

Thanks everyone. I believe next time the flame sensor is dirty, if the technician plans on cleaning it rather than replacing it, I'll ask him if he sands or uses steel wool. Maybe he can get it...

Thanks precise!

Sounds like the oxidation buildup and eventual no-op of the sensor is inevitable.

I can appreciate your stance, as a businessman, on replacing rather than cleaning the sensor,...

Thanks tinknocker!

I had read up on flame rectification (cool stuff!) but had never seen any info on whether there were any special properties of the rod itself.

If only igniters were as...

Hello all,

My ICP Comfortmaker furnace is well maintained (even the blower bearings are oiled!!), and I am extremely happy with its dependability, but every couple of years, it develops a false...

I bought a replacement HSI (IG101) recently, and my parts guy carefully inspected the new part before selling it to me, stating that he wanted to make sure it wasn't already cracked. I appreciated...
