    Hey y’all, I have attached a photo of my ac drain line. From my research this is supposed to have a p trap. Is that correct or is there something going on with this unit that I am not aware of? From the videos I have watched this seems fairly easy to add. I am learning as quickly as possible...

    I want to replace my central HVAC thermostat with one that can be monitored and changed via WIFI. It doesn’t need to be programmable because occupancy is not a predictable pattern. My 3-ton single HVAC system is at least 20 years old. I do not want to let the POCO turn off my HVAC due to grid...

    I am pretty sure that my 240v -> 24v transformer went out and my HVAC system (heatpump) isn't working. No signal at the thermostat and no voltage on the secondary side of the transformer.

    Renting a house in the Houston, TX area. AC keeps temperature at set point, but humidity has gone up to around 70% for several months. It was <50% for a couple of years. There is no dedicated de-humidifier. Landlords are now working at a grocery and can't afford a repair man. Is this a...

    I’m trying to find a straight answer. I’m replacing my supply ducting. Water leak rusted them. My question is, What’s the easy way to figure the new plenum? I am going to round. I keep finding different opinions. One says make it the same size as the A coil box. I’m assuming if not actual...

    I have seen similar posts, but not finding much of anything. My issue is that my furnace ignites just fine, but shuts down because the blower never turns on. It will repeat this cycle many time until I reset power to the furnace and let it sit for a while. When I fire it back up hours later...

    I have a Mr Heater radiant heater in my garage that runs off a simple low voltage thermostat. I would like to add a 120v fan that turns on when the heater kicks on. Do they make a low voltage relay that can take the 16 millivolts my thermostat puts out to switch on a 120v AC circuit?

I know the browns go to the capacitor. My white is common/neutral wire. The interesting thing I am running into is, even...

The wires are correct because a before and after picture was taken and are the same. I’m thinking the wires touched during the re reroute and something tripped or shorted? Help please.
