Thanks for the reply. I wonder when the upright mounting became required?I've been in this trade for more years than I care to divulge and this is the first I've heard of this.

I still learn...

Got a call from a tech that I know and trust. He tells me that he has a start capacitor that is "leaking" a white powdery subsatnce. He claims this is because the start cap is mounted on its side.

I have been receiving several (40+/-) reports of a white, flakey deposit that forms and blocks the hose connection at the IDM blower housing.

These are Rheem/Ruud units, 90+ direct vent...

I think if I came across a 2 year old heat excahnger in that condition I would be checking a few things. Temp rise too low, return air too cold, or VOCs in the air.

I wouldn't be...

It seems to me that I read somewhere this story. As soon as the load was removed from the top lift's forks, the top lift flipped backward due to the counter weight.

I beleive the man on the orange...

I would think one should avoid the defrost cycle because it is a large energy user.

hat is probably why the contractor used 40dF. Of course defrost frequency is determine by many factors....

I've had a HW touch screen on my home for maybe a year or year and a half. The latest and greatest is their YTH8321.

It not only does temperature and humidity control, it also comes with a 6"...

1. Your unit should have a heat pump system in the cabinet. It will pump heat to and from the earth via the well water. The heat pump should keep your house warm most of the time. The electric heat...

I would suggest the Honeywell TH8220 as the minimum. The YTH9000 series IS the premium with humidity control and many other options plus a damper kit for outdoor air.

Both are touch screen 'stats...

I think we called those a "boil". Had one when I was in grade school. I don't remember going to the doctor but I do remember the degree of pain and soaking it wiht a hot compress.

Now that I am...

Right up front- I am prejudiced. Modulating a furnace is a comfort issue. I challenge anyone to be able to discern the difference in comfort level between 1% and 5% modulation.

As far as...

Sounds good to me. In any case check for two speeds trying to run at the same time,

It sounds like you are energizing more than one blower speed at the same time. Better check the wiring and/or board.

The tranformer does not supply power for the blower. The over voltage probably...

Why do some manufacturers use HSI while others use DSI?

I should think the DSI would be less troublesome than HSI.

I just can't think of an advantage of HSI unless it is cost.

Thanks...

You might want to see if the air handlers or matched to the heat pumps. You didn't indicate the heat pumps were changed.

Sometimes scrolls get noisy when the system is over charged.

Might want...

Better get it tested ;-)

Sorry about all the typos. I was trying to multitask and there is the proof I am not a multitask person. I was taking a tech support call and have to say I didn't do either task very well.

Anyway,...

I occasionally drive through large cities and it always seems to be at rush hour. As you may know, changing lanes can get to be pretty exciting.

An automotive talk show offered somewhat of a...

I'm confused with your post. If your logs are in a fireplace one would think the combustion products would go up the chimney.

Do you have the flue damper closed?

Actually, according to the spec sheet the input is rated at 100 MBTUH and the output is listed at 81 MBTUH.

The AFUE is 76.2%.

I agree with the suggestion about the buy out. Ruud has just...

I did hear they had a hard time communicating with one another. ;-)

I believe this is a 78% horizontal made from '87 to early 90s. The Ultra-vent was just being introduced about the time I left the residential sector. I am not familiar with the particulars of the...

I appreciate your input. Chiller Mekanik, when you talk about "hand gauges" are you referring to an individual gauge and schrader adaptor, one for high side and one for the low side sans the manifold...

I have researched HRV/ERV installations and have arrived at the following conclusions;

There should be a seperate duct system for two reasons. The first is the fact that the A/C duct is designed...
