    So, my friend's garage door has a weird problem. This only happens when it's COLD outside. When it's cold outside her garage door doesn't always close. If she HOLDS the inside wall mounted button down it will close but if she just pushes it quick like normal when it's warm out it won't go down...

    I have searched for a thread about this, but have not had any luck finding anything. Just recently bought a Wagner Spray Control Max Airless sprayer to do some small projects around the house. It says it can shoot latex and thick material, but I am not having the best results. I choose to...

    Hi everyone, I have a 3 yrs old 52000 BTU efficiency furnace. It was working perfectly for the first 3 winters, then started behaving weirdly just about a month and a half ago. I would set it to 74, and it USUALLY would not kick in until the temperature would go down to 71, 70, sometimes even...

    Hi there, Just wondering if anyone has any idea about KA indicators? Both indicator bulbs on the left-hand side are not working, does this mean that it is just one bulb that has blown affecting the other OR is it likely to be something more problematic? Like an electrical fault? Any...

    Hi guys, I just had an HVAC technician out to help me attempt to balance an existing system in my house to get more A/C up to the second floor. As part of this, he noted that the yellow wire was not connected to the furnace circuit control board. We traced that back up to the splice with the...

    The heater is on but the programmable thermostat keeps showing that the temperature in the house is dropping gradually (without assistance). For example, I set and hold the temp to 68. It reaches it and stays there for a few hrs (sometimes 1 or 2 days). Then, the temp begins to drop slowly. The...

    My friend was a little lazy when putting together some ABS pipe fittings. He didn't take the item sticker off a reducer before gluing it in place. I pointed out the potential problem that it could cause a weak weld at that point, and the weld probably isn't even complete at that place. He's...
