    Given that the average cost to hire a tow truck service may amount up to something between $75 and $125, what should YOU do when your car does not start? For some, a minimum charge of $50 for the first 5 to 10 miles, then $2 to $4 per mile after may not be a problem… But what about a DIY...

    Hi, I have a Carrier HVAC 48HJE014 unit for my business. We are based in Westchester County, NY. They are natural gas units. I recently replaced the heat exchanger (actually did it on two units) and it worked out very well. The one unit is acting a little weird, here are the symptoms: **when...

    Hi guys. A few days ago I noticed my Lennox G20Q3E-75-6 (1997 model) was not putting out hot air. Upon further inspection, it was evident the pilot light was not lighting. After some fiddling around, I determined that one works-most-of-the-time workaround was to turn the gas valve switch on...

    Summary: Where should the spark be to properly ignite? My house has a Natural Gas "Concord 80 Plus" furnace... The ignition stopped working recently, so I've been attempting to fix it it [as safely as I can]. (I always shut the electricity and gas off before touching anything). Anyway, It's...

    I have a Carrier 8000 furnace, model 58 DLA Recently we have experienced a code 14 ignition lockout (3 tries at lighting) before it locks out. this is because the 4th burner at the end of the manifold does not always ignite I read all the forums and cleaned the flame sensor, not a lot...

    Bryant plus 90 MOdel 398AAZ... I run into a frustrating intermittent problem where my furnace has quit after any of the following scenarios: 1. When only inducer starts, then dies. System is locked up and I have to wait several minutes before turning the power off then back on again. 2. When...

    I have a 12 year old Comfortmaker gas furnace. It operated fine all last winter. When I went to fire it up the first time today, only 4 of the 5 burners light off (burners 2 thru 5 when counting from where the gas enters the manifold). The ignitor is in front of burner 5, the ignition sensor...

    I have an old 20+ years automatic ignition Rheem Furnace Mod RGNC-14KC. After a lot of thought and research these is where I am. 1) I turned the gas off and I can see the sparks from the ignition --> therefore thermostat OK, igniter OK, DSI seems OK. 2) I was able to light the pilot with a...

    I have a Lennox Conservator II. Last year it started having problems with the ignition. This was exacerbated by the fact that the flame will only burn for a couple minutes and then shut off. Even when you are nowhere near the desired temperature. Then it has to try to re-light itself. You...

    Hi all. I'm not sure exactly what model of furnace I own (wasn't smart enough to check it first), but maybe you can still help me. When the thermostat is turned to "heat" and the furnace is supposed to turn on, things start out ok. The little ceramic chip glows and the burners ignite...

    I have a Goodman GMT (sorry don't have the exact model number that's going to require some spelunking into the crawlspace under the house) gas furnace that has been giving me issues for awhile now and I thought I ask those that know more than me, which isn't difficult :) I've had this house for...

    Hi, A couple of days ago I noticed that my American Standard Freedom 80 was not working properly. The furnace burners would ignite for about 10 seconds then go out. This would repeat about 5-6 times. After the last ignition attempt it would lockout but the fan would then start and circulate...
