    Lowering thermostat , how much and closing vents

    If you are feeling cold air, and no heat is felt coming out of the duct, then the room has become depressurized and outside (cold) air is being pulled in from around windows, or other areas. Probably better to have some heat to room (also better for your furnace). V

    Negative air pressure?

    I had a situation similar to yours. Air was flowing rapidly under the door to the basement. I determined that I had a rather large leak in my return system. I made a simple tool using a dowel (about a yard long) with a 1" strip of facial tissue attached to one end. By running the tissue over...

    MasterCool thermostat senitivity

    I don't think that's a matter of sensitivity. If you are getting a call for cooling, which is interrupted (turns off), then back on in 10 seconds, something is wrong. A decent thermostat, and most certainly a quality a/c, should have a 5 minute delay to prevent accidental stopping and...

    Heat Pumps After Thermostat Replacement

    Turn your thermostat up 5 degrees or so. It should kick in auxiliary heat. Perhaps, at night when it gets cold, the balance point may be set too low, or the HP is not super-efficient and is not able to supply enough heat before aux kicks in. Does your thermostat have a setting for...

    Shower tap question

    On the opposite side of the wall (possibly in a closet), there should be a removable panel. Inside, there should be shut-off valves for hot and cold water. If not there, then maybe in basement. Try adjusting the cold water valve (turn toward off) to equalize the flow of hot and cold if hot...

    Furnace drain problem

    By all means, use a pump. I just had my system replaced with a 95% furnace and a/c. The condensate is pumped up about 15 feet and discharged into a first floor laundry tub. (my design) Now I can monitor the operation of my furnace-a/c conveniently. No freeze-ups in the winter. V

    Condensate Removal Pump

    try some clorox I had a new Hi Eff furnace/air conditioner installed. During the slack period (no heat/cool) I noticed a slimey feel inside my pump. Ran some dilute clorox through it (several cycles) and slime is gone. If your not heating at the moment, try turning off power to stop the...

    Manual J Does it sound correct

    manual J? Stating heating and cooling degree days does not give a true value for sizing heating/cooling, since your dealing with averages of temperatures in a period. Did your 'manual J' state heat loss and heat gain (sensible and latent)? This is what's needed. V
