I think that Hotwater is on the right track.

Either there is a window open or you are seeing the effect of a huge thermal mass. A few years back we renovated a 100 year old courthouse. Three...

Homeowner here;
I have exactly the same filter and have been down the same path. Bought a 3 pack online...that lasted a good while. This fall I needed filters again, checked out prices online and...

Well at least this thread has confirmed what I've long suspected.............Inspecting is not work!

You say I can't have both low price and long term savings, but that's what I want. I would buy the system that would show the best payback numbers. I'm not a bells and whistles kind of guy.

The service tech returned this a.m. armed with the info that he got from carrier tech support. He replaced the pilot/sensor assembly and everything is working OK.

According to carrier the pilot...

"Do you hear it continuing to spark after the pilot is lit?"

No, the spark stops as soon as the pilot lights. Also, the pilot stays lit the entire time the burner is doing it's on-off thing.

Spark ignition.

The pilot lights normally....the spark stops after the pilot lights (flame sensor OK?)

The pilot stays on as long as the stat calls for heat. The burner cycles on and off as...

There is no pressure switch on this model.

It has a pilot/flame sensor ***embly that feeds into the ignition relay.

My tech thinks that the sensor is OK, he suspects the relay as one...

My service guy just left after changing the control board in our Carrier 58GS 125k gas furnace. Unfortunately, the control board was not the problem.

With a call for heat the pilot lights and...

Hey, why don't you guys just try an online dating service? I think that you'd get better results.

It was a funny thread though. Thanks for the laughs.

The "collective" knowledge of the group is one of the most amazing things about internet forums.

I've seen it on several different boards over the years. There's not much that hasn't been tried...

Tag,

I'm a homeowner from Nebraska, my house is exactly as you describe except that I don't have the addition.

We have a basement furnace with A/C, no return ducts upstairs. This system works...

This furnace was installed new in November, 2003. It is a basement install, vertical/upflow. It worked great all through the first heating and cooling season.

At startup for the heating season...

That seems to be the prevailing attitude of contractors in this area too. Commercial jobs all get mastic....it's required in the job spec. But for residential contractors just don't want to do it...

Come on Eddy.......everyone knows that brakes are for stopping!

Well yea, but you know golf clubs are important to some of us!

That old furnace just hides in the basement.

That clicker sounds awesome! Can I get a discount if I buy a case? I'm thinking of giving them away as valentines gifts to my friends and family.

My clicker has been working fine, however my...

When I mentioned grounding earlier I was thinking of an external filter. If he went into the blower compartment to retrieve a filter without turning off the power then grounded or not he put himself...

The unit was not properly grounded or this couldn't have happened.

I worked in engineering for 12 years before I got myself fired when I told my boss to "piss off" when he wanted me to spend my Easter weekend at work rather than with my family.

I've been working...
