    PEX leaks.

    I am in the process of re-piping my house which was plumbed with "BOWPEX" in 2003. I have had numerous pinhole leaks and have decided to just replace it all. My question: I notice all the leaks are on the cold side and not the hot. A freind had a theory that it is chlorine in the water...

    Faucet leaking under sink...

    Dehumidistat

    Is that the only stat. mounted on the wall? Usually these are wired in series with the Thermostat. These were popular in Florida (where I used to work as an HVAC tech.) with people who owned vacation and winter properties. It allows the A/C unit to run only when the indoor space reaches a...
