    Alarm/Security

    I want something that will wake the dead. I live out in the country & work third shift. My wife & seven year old son are here alone.

    Alarm/Security

    In the 80’s I had a shop a long way from my house & kinda off the road. I had a Doberman that stayed there & I had a ’70 Trans Am in one corner of the shop with no interior & I took the driver’s door off & laid down a couple of old sleeping bags in it for her & cut a hole in...

    Alarm/Security

    Had a good one & she got ran over. Too close to road, can’t afford fence, or a good dog right now. Haven’t lived here very long. We do have a couple of yapping ankle biters in a fence in the back that are supposedly my daughter’s dogs, but just like “her horses” I...

    Alarm/Security

    I have what we call around here an “equipment shed” it’s essentially a very well built pole/ tin building with an open face. I’ve been using it for a “shop” for a few years now, all of my tools are in there. It has three bays & I’ve closed off the two outer bays, but the center one is open. I’ve...

    Heil Propane Unit

    After being turned off for 9 hours I tried it again & absolutely nothing happens for a while and the main (house) fan comes on. Everything worked fine until this morning right before I made the first post. I have to go to work in about an hour, but I can check posts from my phone. It’s...

    Heil Propane Unit

    I just tried again & inducer came on, igniter started to glow & both quit & main fan came on. Short time later tried it again, nothing happened for a while & main fan came on. So it seems the longer you wait to make something happen more things happen…

    Toliet Problem

    Doesn't matter if it's solid or liquid only. The sink & shower don't make noises when the toilet is flushed, but the sink makes noises & some times toilet will flush by its self when taking a shower. Tank level is high, it has over flowed if you do a second flush too quickly. But, you can take a...

    Toliet Problem

    I have an old house (1945+later additions) the bathroom waste goes to a septic tank, while all of the other waste water drains straight into a field. It’s been about two years since I had the tank pumped. We’ve been having trouble with the toilet flushing lately. The bathroom sink & tub drain...

    heil propane unit

    The voltage drop is due to the ground. If you use the ground that comes out of the fan relay you get 98-99 Volts at post 5. If you use the main common you get 125. I connected a ground straight from main common to common on low volt board & that gave me 125 between post 5 & 7, but that...

    To clarify post 5 has 98 volts, post 6 has 28, post 8 has 0, but if I unplug the wire and test the wire it has like 28 & post 3 has 0 volts. I tried post 3 with the wire that goes to the inducer off & it was not getting any current. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

    Got a relay & it didn't help. Still 25 volts (big red wire) coming from "Fan & Limit Control" (pictured below & I replaced it last year, best I remember) until I plug it into relay & then it goes to 0 Volts or very close to it.

    Vent?

    We had it pumped out last January so it's been just over a year. We had to have it pumped exactly 18 months before that, but there were more people living here then. It seems like it always does it, but I'm not positive about that because I'm so use to it. Water don't back up in the shower, it...

    Vent?

    This is an old house with cast iron drain pipes & septic tank...When we turn on the shower the toilet bubbles. Sometimes while in the shower the toilet will flush & the sink gurgles too. I assume it is the vent clogged. Last summer I got up on the roof & blew compressed air down the vent & it...

    heil propane unit

    When I was origionally testing voltage I slipped the terminals up each post far evough to get a probe on the post & 8 showed 0 voltage. But now more testing reveals that if I disconnect it and just test the wire it has 25 volts. Once when I had the tester probes on 7 & 8 & squeezed toward each...

    Ok, the relay has 6 wires & it is getting about 95 volts on one post (the black wire coming from the transformer) & 29 on another (red wire coming from low voltage board) and it is not putting out anything on the heavy black wire which goes to the inducer. None of the other posts had...
