its about 10 ft to the wall from the furnace . would pop a hole in the brick to feed the lineset . that area is a utility room so don't need to look too pretty . once outside take a right turn and about 5 feet there is an open area in the brick to mount the outside unit . need to mount it a...

Need to take a class starting middle of nest year . mine expires 28

went over to check the house . was my parents house and will most likely make it a rental . this is the only house i have ever seen central electric heating . i am sure they are out there , but it seems uncommon . the little black line is the 4 foot mark , which seems to be the height...

house built in 1979 . split level with full brick around it . just a rectangle . about 2400 sft total . No A/C anot sure what the rating of the electric furnace is . has central ducting . its in the Seattle area so winter here is pretty mild. lowest is mostly in 20's . high is usually...

the place i am thinking of doing has central electric heat and no gas connect . the central heat is 40 years old but still kicking . since no gas is available , a heat pump/ac unit would be ideal as the house gets pretty warm in the summer even at 80 degrees . Since it seems most units are...

it seems like these are only sold to dealers and it hard to get pricing on them . i am pretty good at this stuff and it looks pretty straight forward to replace a gas furnace and ac condensor with one , can you share pricing or a link on what pricing is?

i would either cut the plug off the end of a cable coming out of the welder , or get a new cable with correct end and change it out

one of the reason to upgrade to a belt is noise. the belts are a lot quieter . if this is no concern, just keep the old one. have them put the bracket on the new door. one other reason is if they wish to have remote control and notifications via myQ app. the other thing that goes bad on...

if you look at the pressure charts they are almost identical . i think the price drop of 1234yf may have to do to when the price was high , due to the high price , folks experimented and found out 134 works in the system. So a lot of diy folks did it and demand goes down

Still over $5 in the Seattle metro area . Going to go up again due to new laws going into effect 7/1 . Folks will helm and holler about gas prices, but in the end they will still buy it reguardless of the price . My driving life has not changed not one iota from before . Unlike HK...

lot of folks are subbing 1234yf with 134a . most report it works fine. i can say its seem to work the same in my Tucson . need to do more research on this 444a stuff
