It's not a 3 way switch but it does control 2 outside lights.

Thanks. It came with Instructions albeit slightly ambiguous. I figured the Red was for the Load, Black for Hot, etc. Question. That switch I'm replacing has the Hot at the Top, with the Load at the bottom. The other switches in the Box have Hot on bottom and Load at Top. I'm confused...

I opened up the electrical box that has 3 light switches. So, I have the white cluster of wires all bundled up, same with the black, same with the ground. The light switch has the ground and 2 blacks (top "on" and bottom "off") so I'm assuming the bottom is hot and the top the load. My...

If I'm lookimg for Reliability, how does that system sound? I was told with the Heat Manager I can get an extra 10% efficiency. I read too many problems with High Efficiency Systems to include issues w/ SS Heat Exchangers, leaking, etc...too many to list.

Is this gas and conventional or condensing you have?

I always thought Weil McLain was the best. I planned to use Ultra Plus 230 Condensing high efficiency boiler w/ Ultra Plus 40 indirect heater but web searches reveal issues and poor reviews. Now I need Subject Matter Experts like yourselfs to help me. I have the funds to do this once but...

Absolutely correct - I guarentee you I won't look back. I like this set up! Thanks!!

I need help making this decision please…looking at it from a long term economical stand point. A) Do I purchase a hot water heater and boiler and vent through the chimney? If so, I’ll need to spend $2000 for a stainless steel liner to re-line the chimney. B) Or, do I spend a little...

Makes perfect sense to me - thanks for those tips. I'll look for the hydraulic cement.

1937 home has a small hole, perhaps the size of a nickel and approx 2 feet from wall, in the concrete floor. Extremely heavy rain pushes clay up through the hole, not a lot, but creates a mess nonetheless. What can I do? If I plug it will this cause fractures in basement floor...

I don't know too much about these windows but are these low grade windows? I'm leaning towards Simonton 9800 that I've used and I've also used Anderson 400 series. Since I'm looking for a good quality vinyl window is a Silverline a good quality vinyl window?

I always lean towards overkill unfortuanately - is it a good idea to I&WS the entire roof before installing the TPO / Duro-Last membrane? Thanks is advance...

I already have a commercial contractor that does residential for each material. I agree with the proper installation...thanks.

I was planning on using white TPO but was introduced to the Dura-Last. Everything I read leads me to believe Dura-Last may be the way to go... Your thoughts?
