Hi, I'm new to this forum but very glad to have found it! I'm freezing. The Totaline P464-0130-Y I have has a maximum temperature of 74°F and it's temperature sensing is just not accurate, or perhaps it's placement in the room is the issue (which I cannot move). Is there any way to override...

Hi All, We have a vertical, closed-loop waterless geothermal system, with backup heat, installed in 2010. I was hanging a barn door for my wife the other day, and dropped the rail, smashing the thermostat (RobertShaw 9420). I went to Walmart and picked up a Honeywell Wifi thermostat that...

Hello, My old "Weatherworks" milkhouse-style heater finally ceased to function. For two years the switch did not work properly, and the plug was getting very hot after thirty minutes of use. I only use it to heat my room up before i go to bed, then i turn it off. I'd use a space heater for...

There is a hot water radiator that is in our back bedroom on our second floor. It's relatively small but it is in the way of a wraparound desk we want to install to make it into an office. It's just too tall. Our goal is to remove the radiator and remove the riser pipes going to it from the...

Hello - I've lived in an old turn-of-the-century home in Iowa for a few years. We have a three zone hot water boiler system that usually works pretty well (though we've had to replace two pumps, the gas valve, and two pump power supplies). Over the summer I inadvertently disconnected...

Hi everyone, moved into a house in Memphis area in November and for some reason many of the homes here have this pebble flooring on exterior patios. When walking on it barefoot it feels like shards of glass. What are my options to smooth OVER it? Some kind of cement/concrete/filler that...

Just moved into a our new house, originally build in the 1980's. The past few night we've noticed a drip like sound coming from the vent in our bedroom. It is consistent and happens through out the night. I also noticed it in the morning from the bathroom vent. Right now we are in winter and...

Resco (now Carrier, I think) GB3AAV from 1993: Blower goes on, but sometimes with heat, sometimes without. So far it seems random. I downloaded the service manual and plan to try some diagnosing tomorrow, but would appreciate guidance from someone more experienced than I on what are the most...

Live in a 200 y/o behemoth with forced hot water baseboards in 3 zones, with a Burnham 207A-WNI gas boiler. This morning after the first real full call for heat this season, it warmed the house with lots of gurgling in the pipes and then the gurgling stopped and there was a low hum. Went to the...

Hi all, I've been having an on and off issue with my oil furnace for the last year or so. Every now and then water would slowly drip out of the copper pipe pointing down towards the ground (open on bottom). I'm guessing this is some sort of pressure release system? My furnace guy said it's...

I have a Goodman GMT070-4A. When turning on the heat this year (I live in San Diego), there is no heat coming out of the vents. When turning the furnace on, the ignitor will glow, the burners will ignite then will run for about 6 seconds then shut down. This process repeats three times then the...
