No problem, thanks for the reply! Just to summarize as my original post was kind of scattered and not well written: I have a gas furnace and heat pump / ac unit. The heat pump short cycles on heat, but works correctly on ac. Just wondering if I could have a setting incorrect on the...

I just tried normal heat. It's obvious that warm air is blowing through the vents, but the heat pump continuously short cycles. It will run for a few seconds, then turn off for maybe 20 seconds, then turn back on for a few seconds before repeating the cycle. Is this normal behavior? Before...

I have an American Standard Heritage 14 heat pump / AC (2 ton). I also have an Armstrong Ultra SX 80 (80% efficiency) gas furnace. What are the correct honeywell system stettings for this setup per this PDF? I believe it's option 7, but when I use this I have issues. Emergency heat and...

That's a great idea. Thanks for the help.

I like this idea the best. I think this will solve my needs because it will divert most of the water to the gutter where it will drain through a downspout on the side of the house. I will have just a small section of awning roof under the diverter where water won't be caught, but I don't...

The slope does go away from the house, albeit very gradually. I was thinking of just adding a piece of gutter at the bottom section of the awning and letting it run off onto the lawn, as opposed to putting in a downspout. Is this not advisable?

I have a problem (as illustrated in the pics) with water dripping down near the foundation of my house from a roof awning over my front door. There is currently no gutter at that location to move the water away from my house. Should I add one? Other houses with the same design on my street...

I believe home owners insurance would cover that minus the deductible.

I have a 1960 brick ranch home in the Denver area with a sagging attached 1 car garage. This includes step cracks in the bricks and gaps in door frames, etc. I have an Engineer's repair design that calls for the installation of 5 steel helical peirs. One company wants to go by the book and use...

I have an attached one car garage that is exhibiting step cracks in the bricks and is sagging. I have hired a structural engineer who recommended to install steel helical piers to support the foundation. I have narrowed the work down to 2 companies. One company is licensed and will pull...

Thank you so much! I'll do exactly that.

I found this in my garage after taring some walls down. It looks like someone ran an electrical cable from the attic (spliced off the kitchen lights) to some electrical outlets on the wall to the right. What would be the best way to deal with this to make it up to code and safe? I'd like to...
