My apologies if I put too much oomph into that post. Perhaps there was a little "holiday blues" in there. I raise my cup of warm apple cider to your measured reply.

I see nothing wrong with a little "empty hat" chatter. It keeps a thread alive, for one thing. And, maybe someone is interested in the topic, but doesn't have anything helpful to contribute, so they just comment. Nothing wrong with that, in my view. At least you know someone is reading your...

The Wi-Fi signal radiates perpendicular to the antenna. To get slightly better range uphill, simply tilt the antenna so that the perpendicular angle points more uphill. As for Wi-Fi range extenders, note that extending a crappy Wi-Fi signal is not very good solution.

Pretty much what I expected. And, I just happen to have a gift card for Harbor Freight, if it's still any good. I'll cross my fingers that the backsplash isn't glued to the wall. I'll be a bit surprised, though, if it's not. Thanks, guys.

I have a formica counter top with a drop-in cook stove. The counter top was cut out to accommodate the original drop-in stove, leaving a couple of inches between the back edge of the stove top and the wall. (See photo) I have purchased a regular style cook stove to replace the 33 year old...

So, at first, I thought the problem was the wiring of the thermostat not being right. But, after trying every option and 3 different thermostats, I am now of the opinion that the reversing valve is stuck in the position for cooling. After all, the unit sat in storage for 10 years being being...

Original post said the Goodman was a 2 ton unit... it's a 1.5 ton unit. Air handler was part of the Ruud system the Goodman has replace. I just haven't changed the air handler yet. Since the A/C worked fine for several months, and the only issue is that the system won't switch to heating, I'm...

Quick background... 19 year old Ruud heatpump died in July (on the hottest day of summer, of course). The Ruud worked well for many years with a Honeywell CT3611(R4450) thermostat. Replaced the dead Ruud with a lightly used Goodman 2 ton unit (GSH130181). Since that hot day in July, I've been...

I think putting down an absorbent cotton rug in front of the fridge would solve the problem, inexpensively, and allow the continued use of the icemaker/water dispenser. I would try that first... along with a "Do Not Leave Ice/Water On The Floor. Violators Will Be Prosecuted" sing above the...

Believe what your eyes tell you. If you have a closed ventilation system and the unit is only drawing air from the outside, it is only drawing fresh air. If, on the other hand, the air handler is open to the interior, it is recycling the interior air. This is more efficient than heating or...
