Thank you for your thoughts! I made the recommendation this morning.

Thanks!

That’s what I’m afraid of. It’s a large garage (10,000 FTSQ aprox) where they keep all their fancy cars. It’s climate controlled but no humidity controls, and with the large garage doors opening and...

It’s all custom built. There is no model numbers. At this time they are not heated. But I’m wondering if I should suggest it at those temps, or if it’s unnecessary.

Thanks.

It’s all custom built by the glazers. I have been doing work for this customer for 15 years. $$ won’t be an issue. But it is guaranteed to be a huge pain. It always is. But they always pay!

Thank you for the prompt reply! Yes, I guess I did mean a heated mullion.

I say poorly insulated, it actually may not be that bad. It’s probably as well insulated as glass panels could be. But,...

Hello. Quick, maybe stupid question here. I’m a licensed refrigeration mechanic, but %99 of the work I do is commercial cooling, so, little out of the loop on the nitty gritty of the refrigeration...

Interested to hear what others have to say, as I would like to know what other options are out there.

I have had a lot of good feedback with the Honeywell redlink systems, the App controls...

Oversized units are uncomfortable to, and cost more to run. So a home owner has to be uncomfortable for %90 of the summer, and pay more money just so that he has the capacity needed to throw a huge...

The longer this thread goes, the more I am
Inclined to believe your systems actually doing fairly well. It appears to me as though your house is right on the verge of needing a 3T, but a 2.5T is...

Saturday was a fairly hot day for Toronto, almost at design temps. Did you keep it held at 23C all day, or turn it up and down manually. If it was held steady at 23C and cycling, that would mean it...

Don't forget, that's 6C not F. A drop of 6C is about equal to a drop of about 11F still low, but not as low.

What I want to know from the home owner is how you measured 19C return air...

The biggest problem the nest may be giving you here is it's large swing. The Nest has a fairly large non-adjustable deadband in it, you may set it at 23, and it may hit 23, but it may not re-energize...

There is something to this, AC response is generally slow, especially if sized correctly. And it is unreasonable to expect an AC recover rapidly especially if left off for an extended period of time....

It's illegal to mix refrigerants like he did. And not considered good practice.

It will however likely have no noticeable negative effects on your unit. By design the PT relationship for any of...

Many factors go into sizing, and sq ft alone is not enough to size a unit. That being said, I live not to far from you down in Windsor here, and most 2,800 sq ft homes I would see would also have a...

He is not answering your question because you have not really asked a question. "Structural modifications" is horrendously vague. Does replacing an A coil require structural modifications to the...

I don't think they offered that furnace with a 10 year warranty until 2010, and even then, the furnace had to be registered for 10 year coverage. If it's 8years old, it's likely just 5 years.

Your furnace has provisions laid out in the installation manual telling a tech how to install a PSC motor for temporary heat. It is however not approved for permanent use, only temporary use for...

The high side won't always be high if it's a restriction, depending on the machine, low side would be low though.

Absolutely.

Never just ask for a raise. The conversation should be, I'm not yet making what I want to make, what do I have to do to increase my value and earn more.

I have heard so many...

Those are really specific pressure testing instructions!

I don't believe I discussed any repairs or gave any advice, or does AOP also forbid asking questions?

I have ALWAYS stood behind the no DIY policy of AOP, I don't think it should be considered a...

Before and after what?

What did you do?

I can picture it now:

"The guy on YouTube said it was important to tie in those little wires on the pump, so I did!"

The float wires "tied" together is what makes it special.

A TXV has 1 job and 1 job only, and that is to maintain superheat. First step therefore is to check the superheat. Check your subcooling also, a TXV needs a solid column of liquid to meter correctly....

And which fitting did you unthread, depending on which one, it could be completely normal for no refrigerant to escape even with a fully charged system. As stated before, it may also be possible...

Do you have a picture of the item you loosened?

The pressures and temperatures should work, but I believe you will need to change to POE oil.

The COT SUCKS! But he's right, they are your best place to start. Emailed them once, they took 3 months to email back. They did, but it was 3 months later. You do and gas work? Start with TSSA they...

I rent a couple of places, hoping to expand it. Whoever made the comment about not over-leveraging yourself is right on the money. You need to make sure you have the cash on hand for a major repair...

Any coil purchased in the last few years will be comparable with either R22 or R410a, as stated, you just install a different size piston, or a different model TXV, so there is no reason not to...

Why so hell bent on Nest?

If I was buying car, and every mechanic I spoke to, told me that the car I had in mind was nothing but a headache, I would be seriously reconsidering my choice in new...

No. A G2 ticket allows you to work on gas fired equipment up to 400,000BTUH only. A 313 license allows you to WORK on AC or refrig units, but not buy refrigerant (figure that one out), the ODP card...

It is a US thing. Here in Ontario we call it an ODP license. Don't know what your equivalent card is out in the west.

Does it still fail (inducer dropping to 30V) if the spark wire is disconnected from the module?

Some of the original EG6 units had robertshaw modules, not Honeywells. The robertshaws are no longer...

Even if the inspector actually checked the AC, the cost of an AC or an AC repair should be minimal in relation to the total value of the home. If the decrease in value between a working 20YO AC and a...

If those 2 wires shown are the only wires it has, it's not a transformer.

Regarding the swinging temps, did he recommend and provide the ecobee stats and zone system, or you? Do you know the kind of zone system? The above replies are all dead on about sizing etc.

I try to shy away from absolutes like always and never, all or none with questions like yours. While it's very likely that one manufacturers flammable vapor sensor may interchange on another brand of...

Nice looking install! Welcome. What part of Ontario are you from?

Good luck with the builder now.

As for the inverted loop, if you read the manual, it states the loop is only required if the indoor unit is higher than the outdoor unit. So if the furnace and A...

Yes. They sometimes false alarm because of other chemicals, have experienced this myself as well.

The general consensus is that you do indeed have a chemical problem, but that a refrigerant leak...

This is stupid. Why the builder is even fighting with you is beyond belief. It's ridiculous that any self respecting builder or tradesman would let this happen. I can't see the rest of the install,...

R22 is obsolete, you have not been able to buy new R22 units for over 5 years now. The availability of R22 is decreasing every year, and the price is going up each year, way up, haven't priced it...

I think he was concerned about freezing not sweating.

The guy at HD said he could build the deck and the AC wouldn't be a problem

That's a great example your setting for your apprentice there. Next time he tries to refuse unsafe work, you know what his boss will say, "jimmyed would do it!"

Don't forget, if you hurt yourself...
