Yeah, Tonka is big in construction,..and trucking, and ... What ever a young imagination can come up with!

The Social Security Admin says it's 3.2%. That is the COLA increase in our monthly benefit payment in December. So, our eyes and memories are deceiving us when we see throw away gloves that cost...

But considering events in the Middle East, this one may be appropriate.

Nothing in particular but I was rocking 80s vids and I marvel that we didn't blow the world up with all the hair spray for the big hair! I do remember at least one club burning down...

Good...

I didn't read it all. look through this.

Zinsco Melt first break later.

The risk with the Appion is melting the valves. If it overheats the nylon valves melt and the replacement parts are pricey plus it is just another mechanical lesson I won't do again.. Don't ask me...

Not complete without Buster Scruggs.

Nevertheless, You should go to the AHJ (inspector) and get their opinion. There is a possibility that the provider has experience with that local area and knows their interpretations. An opinion...

yer rite, I didn't read carefully.

Make sure the estimates are for equipment the matches the load calc they carefully did prior to making their estimate.

Does the part they say needs modded go through a floor or up inside a wall? The conducter from the appliance to the flue/ stack can be single wall. IFGC 503.10.2.3 for instance. I used the wrong...

Conducters, leading from a heat source to a flue are all single wall. This is code (IFGC) and because they can't be within a closed space or near combustibles. Not a problem unless rusted or not...

Truer words rarely spoken!

"when all you have is a hammer, the world is a nail."

Almost spit my beer! Wait, just kidding, this is a kid's show, right? It was covfefe, really.

ehem... Maybe some training on what is and what constitutes a PRY bar or what any other tool is designed to do..

that could be made up if the closet door is louvered.

Pleated paper will be worse. The cabinet is used for more than one tonnage. Hence the install manual specifies bottom and one side or both sides for air inlet for five ton and maybe down to 3,5. ...

No the sizing and type and install are by region. Some jurisdictions require heat load calcs to get a permit. There is nothing wrong with systems running long except for the cost. As I said my...

Every area has expected highs and lows. Systems are designed to function properly in those ranges.`Example, STL we use 93 outside 73 inside for 96% of the time for AC capacity. So when the temp...

Generally when we talk about short cycle we are referring to the unit starting and either quickly stopping or running for a short while and not satisfying the thermostat or maybe running for a while...

There are refrigerant lines in hair joints. A nasty environment of chemicals. These lines usually survive until other parts die.

Vinegar is ~5% acid, a mild acid at that and is used up (reacted)...

Johnny, over in the other thread I encouraged you to find something else to fiddle with. If you have a real interest in HVAC, consider going to school for it. There is really no concern about you...

You came to the wrong place if you wanted a quick simple answer without a side of snark!

Please do not stress over this anymore. Lady liberty has been green for over a century and doesn't have...

It will take centuries to eat through the copper. I gave you the cleaning solution. White or red vinegar if you're OCD like me. haha The acid in them will clean it right off.

Ever seen a green roof on a gummint building? Patina or normal oxidation. Squirt it with vinegar.

Fair question. I left out the part about the HO not telling us the real problem and getting callbacks. The HO generally have a T87 level of HVAC knowledge and don't understand the limitations of a...

What are the voltages going out of the contactor? How do you know the compressor is running full speed? Are you taking voltage readings across the contactor, What pressures are you getting from...

Nest is poo! They are not well thought out for the myriad of different systems and wiring. And we are often called to fix the homeowner's efforts to do it themselves by guessing where the wires go.

Stop guessing, this is way wrong. Techs have experience so they don't often :angel: have to guess.

funny. The FIBs just suck! Except 2sac. lol

My experience with hot weather is that single system homes will tend to hover just above the set point in extremely hot weather. Humidity is going to be a function of run time. I have a 2 ton...

Ruthie and Sweet Meat say thank you! "Real Rock Radio" They are still rocking. U man, Favas, and Marc Close. They have to be in their eighties. I'm almost 70 and I listened to them from the...

The world is truly small. I grew up enjoying Alan Parsons. One night my daughter called me to tell me she went to a concert and she knew a lot of the songs from my radio playing KSHE 95. How's...

Does this mean you play in more than one band? What do you play? Those guys look like me! Beard and all.

Careful, you might put your eye out!

Evap temp has to be at or below dew point. This may be the difference. Check temps as close to evap as you can. The one that is colder will condense more. Viva la difference R22/ R410

I have never had luck arguing with the inspectors. Life becomes much harder when they get a boner about one's attitude. I just say "whatever you say, sir." Life is too short to go head to head...

Only if you have a local authority that makes silly interpretations of code.

That has to be the hottest chair in the world. 25 tons and 5000 cfm? Is that the Volcano 9000x chair? I've heard about that one.

I rarely deal with well systems and forgot the holding tank on modern systems. But the government department of redundancy department probably still requires them.

And, to think, he thought he asked a simple question. Little did he know who he was asking.

If your authority wants to be IRC compliant. The expansion is primarily to prevent rocket water heaters that insurance companies hate to have to pay the house damages.

In my area, most...

Interesting, my licensing authority adopts IRC in full so Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC are on the same year. It appears that 2021 is the most current one. Last I heard we are still on 2017. It...

Do a search for others using your type of machine. I tracked down a compressor for an old soda machine that way. Replacement brands escape me right now. I'll look.

Keep in mind that it has...

Are you in an incorporated area with busy body building inspectors? What kind of here is there? Rural, semi rural, 'burbs?

Well, I'm licensed so I guess that's why I did it! lol

Window units are easy nad maybe only requires 220. It sounds like you are meaning change outs without major duct work and pulling line sets?

I think the expansion tank code is during the early 2000s, IRC 2009, maybe, so there will be some without. I looked it up and it was IRC 2006 so it depends on when your locality adopted that code. ...
