Hi, I have a Carrier heat pump with a gas Carrier furnace for backup. I think the unit is about 13 years old. I noticed that my outside condenser was starting to ice up. I figured that maybe I was looking at it before the defrost cycle. Today when I came home I noticed that the condenser...

Hi, I have an older Carrier 96 system from 2007 with a fancy thermostat that talks to the other components in the system and has some helpful settings. Anyway, we moved into the house a few months ago so not 100% sure of what is normal for the system. It's a two zone system. One zone is on...

Hi, I have a 4300 sq. home in NC that we are moving into. I have two 10 year old heat pump units. One heats the two main floors and has a propane backup for when it gets real cold. I believe it's rated for 120k btu and has a propane backup for really cold nights. The other heat pump heats...

I am moving to the mountains of nc where it gets below 30 on a routine basis at night. I have 35 x 40 sq ft. garage with 10 foot ceilings and it's insulated. I had a pipe freeze right before closing that was in the garage. I want to heat and cool it. I currently have a 400amp service running two...

I bought a 4300 sq. ft. house almost exactly a year ago in Asheville NC. We plan to move in full time in a few months. We have two heat pumps. One large unit that does the 1st level and downstairs. Then there is a smaller unit that does the two bedrooms upstairs on the 2nd level. On top of...

Hi, I just got back my water test results. I own a home in NC that we are moving to. The well is pumping 15 gpm from the well head. The water is turned off so I couldn't test flow from inside the home. The water looked clean with no sulfur smells of tannins that I could see. The bacteria...

If I inject soda ash and polish the water with a catalytic carbon filter will I still taste the soda ash? How much typically can you raise the PH with soda sh injection. My water is around 6.0 If I inject a strong solution of peroxide and then feed the water into a 119 gallon pressure tank...

Hi, We just bought a house in NC. It is on a well. My PH is at 5.5, hardness is slightly hard but just at thebeginning of the range at 18.1., iron is at .6 The water has some sulfur smell and there is some bacteria. Anyway, my main goal is to raise the PH. The easiest method with no pumps...

Hi, I bought a new house and the well water is not too bad. There is some Chloroform Bacteria, PH is 5.5 to 6.3, Iron is on the higher side at .6 which is about twice the suggested level. Hardness is not bad at 18ppm 17.1 is at the end of the range of soft water so I don't think I need to...

Hi, I had a water specialist over and he is pretty sure that there is a leak in my well casing. The water has a low PH of 5.5 with Chloroform Bacteria (Fecal was good). Anyway, the well guy is coming to send down a camera and inspect the well more thoroughly. I've been reading and learning...

We put a bid on a home in NC that is about 1 mile from many apple orchards. We are getting the water tested. The realtor is telling me to walk from the deal if there are pesticides in the water. I'm also worried about Radon. The well on the property is 165 ft deep and was dug in 2013 with a flow...
