    Install gas furnace inline with existing heat pump package unit.

    I am in the heart of an area where natural gas is really cheap. We have countless natural gas fields in the area. Residential gas rate here right now is not much more than a $1/CCF! I think it is less than that actually. I'm not so interested in a dual-fuel system. But I am interested in having...

    Install gas furnace inline with existing heat pump package unit.

    Let me try to be as clear as possible. I have a relatively new package heat pump installed on my house. At the time it was installed, a natural gas main extension would have been $30k. Now it is slowly rolling out on my street and has become cheaper, but still not free. I understand that I could...

    So sorry. Hadn't checked back here in a while. See the attached pic.

    Do the new remote read water meters have a leak tell tale?

    My water meter looks kinda similar. On mine, if you lift the little hinged cover, you see a digital display. You have to shine a light onto it to activate it though if it's not sunny outside. My water meter sweats in the ground and at first glance, may appear to be leaking. I couldn't imagine it...

    Experience with "off brand" mini splits?

    My boss had bought a 1.5 ton ymgi split heat pump on **** and had it installed at the office. The listing said it has a name brand compressor. (Mitsubishi or Sanyo iirc). The outside unit looks of real good quality. Almost unbelievably quiet. The air handler unit on the other hand looks and...

    Heat kit wire whip sizing.

    Please excuse the way I wrote that. By 8/2 I was meaning 2 individual thhn wires in the conduit and not nm cable. ie. the whip as a whole would contain 2 conductors. I have a question. Just out of curiosity, wouldn't it be allowed to use the 90c column if the terminations on the disconnect were...

    Looking for a creative (and pet friendly) plumber

    Or better yet, just leave the lid off the back of the toilet. That way you don't have to do a darn thing

    Looking for a creative (and pet friendly) plumber

    Depending on how simple your existing unit is, it probably depends on the vacuum created in the water bottle to not overfill (kind of like the 5 gallon tank top water coolers do). Is it the looks of the unit you have now that you like? Would the second one you show connected to the garden hose...

    Spigot to ice chest

    I can try to help. We uses these a lot for drums, hoppers and tanks where I work (oil/gas chemical blending company). Might want to check the miniature ones but I see there are no gaskets on it. With these, you would then have a female threaded fitting, where you could add whatever plumbing too...

    Fuses getting very hot in Fusebox

    Check with your state or other local AHJD. There are rights given to tenants with regards to safety of the dwelling. Your first step would be to WRITE a letter stating the disrepair, make a copy for your records and mail it registered to the landlord. Now you have proof that he knows of it. Then...

    Heat pump service disconnect

    The package heat pump in question require two circuits. Is it usual for an electrician to run one circuit large enough to run both to a loadcenter by the package unit and then take two branch circuits off of there? And then use this load center as the equipment's service disconnect? If I...

    Kohler Roman tub faucet identification

    I agree with yall. I bought this at a time when my money was worth far more than my time, but that has changed. The original plan was to strip, buff and relaquer the whole thing. Change all the seals. I have access to a full machine shop, so can easily one-off parts if needed. Now, looks aside...
