If your furnaces are 3 years old, I would recommend replaceing the furnaces and air conditioners. The new higher efficiency systems need the better air flows. The manufacturers have matching charts...

There is often a air intake attached to the side of your home (4" pipe) to the return air side of your furnace. When the fan runs it draws from your rooms at the return air grills and brings in...

All heat pumps melt ice off the outside coil when in defrost mode, on heating. Electrical tripping needs a qualified service tech.

In Canada it used to be 3' from both the Electrical meter and gas meter. Now it's 1 Meter (39")

I wonder if the noise is comming when the burners are on or fan only. With the burners going we have the draft inducer running and the in shot burner noise. Circulation fan for air only could be a...

I wonder if it's a R410A unit. With R22 I hardly ever ran into a TXV problem. Seems like more frequent failures with the R410A.

You should not smell gas out of the vent line. If your system is 2 1/2 years old it should be serviced anyways. Call for service and pay the tech extra to look for a gas leak.

In Canada. I would go with a Lennox. They are not the least expensive but do have different models for the 80% or 90%. Very good for parts distrtubution in the West. Don't know about the East. ...

This type of stuff is what Lifes all about. Both you and your son will have stuff to talk about which helps you to have a better relationship. Enjoy it, they grow up too fast.

I didn't know England had Residential air conditiong, I thought you just opened a window.

I would recommend changing the boiler. The one I repaired also had push nipples. With the time and money, you are better of getting some thing new, better efficiencys and warranty.

Mr. Slim gets my vote, factory training comes by our area for 2 days a year. Most companies do not offer this. Very quiet. Something that works. Like anything else, a poor install can kill any...

We call that cottage plumbing. Having a cottage in the woods and only using it on weekends would work. Bradford white has some of their gas hot water tanks certified for heating. For a very tiny...

Why would anyone want to repair a 20 year old system. Change the system. It is better for the client in the long run, rather than sending good money after bad.

if i were in atlanta I would probably go with a heat pump and an 80% furnace with a variable speed motor

you already have to have AC, so a heat pump should only cost marginally more

I probably...

I am not sure if I am reading the question right. Do you have a staple up piping in the crawlspace, between the floor joists above , with insulation pressed in from below. If so the insulation...

I think you have answered most of your own questions. I would recommend running more power and possibly putting in a sub panel for future power requirements. Like anything else, this is an...

The MS series does not have a programmable thermostat built into the hand held controller. Probrably, because the remote is normally pointed at the unit when making a change. The PS series which is...

You may have to increase the supply air runs by adding another run into a room close to the furnace to move more air easier. Try taking the filter out for a few minutes and you may have to go to a...

A hard start kit may work. I would recommend that you replace the entire system rather than the compressor. Replacement compressors generally have half the life as the original compressor. Is...

Lets say you have a 3 ton heat pump which requires a 30 amp circuit plus a 10 kilowatt electric heater which is probrably at another 40 amps, electric dryer, range, lighting - a 100 amp panel...

I gotta ask, Why would the Romulans want our old Whirlpool air conditioners? Do they know something we don't. Should I hoard some and sell them to the Ferengi.

We have put a couple of these in and they work OK. I do not think quality and window shakers are used in the same sentence. The manufacturers make a unit as inexpensively as possible because 99% of...

You also have to consider what you have for servicing into the home. You probrably only have a 100 Amp electrical panel and would have to step up to higher electrical lines, panel upgrades. You...
