Thanks for all the help, a furnace guy came by today and one of the wires to the blower motor had broke off. He put a terminal on it, plugged the wire back on and charged us $240. Not bad for the 20 minutes he was here. But I'm a happy camper at this point.

I don't know how to make the fan turn on and there are only two wires to the thermostat so no way to turn it on from there. I am sure it's just jumping a terminal to put AC to the motor but I have no idea how to proceed. Thanks for the response...

Our Church has two Lennox G9 furnaces. One of them works fine but the other, I can see the burner light but the fan never turns on. Then, after a while the burner goes back out, then minutes later it lights again but no fan. Anyway I can troubleshoot this? It's below zero and all the furnace...

So you guys are confirming that 1 year is an industry standard for commercial. Ok, didn't know that. And that we could do worse than Goodman... Thanks...

Thanks, I questioned the installer about the 1 year warranty and this was his response, "Yes, Industry Standard is 1 year. Maybe the very very expensive brands have more than a one year warranty, but in my 27 years of being in business I haven't seen multi year warranties. The reason for that is...

What do you guys think of Goodman products? http://www.goodmanmfg.com/residentialproducts/gasfurnaces/tabid/1337/default.aspx We got a new bid to install two of these 140K Btu with 2 5 ton AC condensers in our church but I never heard of Goodman. One thing I noticed is they have only a 1...

Yes, to the top of the bowl then to the top of the seat... Man, one of the ladies got real upset. You would think someone took her favorite seat?? Or did we??? I didn't expect that but I have the check and he'll have to come get it so we can go from there...

I'm not good with a measuring tape but they're taller than 16.5 but not 17. The seat is just over 17 but the seats isn't flat, they're kind of concave so they have a dull outer edge that's not too comfortable on the backside. Like a dull cut for those of us with large caboose. I'm thinking...

I won't be at our church until tomorrow but if there is a minimum then there must be a max. Sounds like he installed minimum when the Mother has a max? What is the range?

We have some seniors in the church complaining about the toilet height being too short. The church voted to spend the money so I called a plumber and asked for "taller, handicap toilets." We're a small church so this was a major investment for us ($450 for two toilets, men and women's room). The...

I learned not to rush in life, patience allows you to do it once and get it right. Thinking about the Mitsubishi being 3 tons, we could install 3 of those which is 9 tons and see how it goes. Then we can always add another if needed or we can start weatherizing the building to see how that...

The problem i have is finding someone who sells and installs the Mitsubishi's in my area. The one guy we thought represented Mitsubishi quoted two traditional 80% furnaces with AC on the flat roof at the back of the church. However, I've been told many times by many contractors that our single...

I apologize, yes you've been more than good explaining and I can do the math. I thought you had some software or something that would spit out a good approximation. But I can sit down one evening at the church and see what I come up with. This is from the last contractor... Looks like about $5k...

They could be manufactured in different places. Companies now outsource most production so quality, what is that? Our names not going on it so what do we care. As long as we keep the contract then quantity will always win over quality. Anyone remember the commercial that said, "Quality goes in...

I hope the OP don't mind but I wanted to ask a question for my own learning, in a closed loop, pressurized system, why would it matter where you put the pump?
