    Water Main Shut Off Tool

    be careful with ball valves and shut off slowly. otherwise the water hammer is insane. all of my outside hose bibs are 3/4” full port ball valves and the wife has slammed them closed a few times…. paranoid about blowing my pex apart.

    Defective Delco Gold PF659 Land Rover LR4

    that looks like a properly thought out oil change system. normally i am against sucking the oil out of the vehicle but it looks like the engineers did well here. also, great choice on the premium guard based carquest premium!

    Home A/C unit died-- by design.

    time for an inverter central air system! i actually used to sleep at 70° but still in the 60% humidity. raised it to 73° and it feels the same if not a little better.

    Home A/C unit died-- by design.

    so that is actually something i tuned with my installs. you can set minimum inverter speed. i had to bump up from 15% to 20% to make sure the coil gets below dew point. my house was always 60-68% humidity. now i cruise in the mid 50’s and get down in the 40’s at night time when its set to 73°...

    Water pressure booster pump?

    i had to re pull my main trucks to 1” to support both showers going at the same time. my master shower is 4.5GPM upstairs is the normal 2.5 GPM. you need 1 size up of Pex to equal normal rigid piping size ID.

    Water pressure booster pump?

    40psi would be plenty if you didn’t have the restriction of 1000’ of 3/4 pex. likely type B

    Water pressure booster pump?

    1000’ of 3/4” is your issue. likely should be 1 1/4” to account for pressure drop. have the municipality verify their meter and a booster pump sounds like the only real option.

    Which modem?

    more importantly, do you need an “aftermarket” modem or do you need better wifi coverage/speed? what is the root problem.

    Home A/C unit died-- by design.

    pull the cover off of your air handler and look for an A B and G terminal. if it is there, you really should get Gree’s communicating thermostat. you are missing out on quite a bit of efficiency and comfort if you’re using a standard 24v thermostat. also, make SURE there is a surge protector at...

    Home A/C unit died-- by design.

    long term reliability from gree hasn’t been great nor parts. they’re also just loud compared to AUX, Midea. they do use a hot vapor line to heat the bottom pan for heat pump usage which is very intuitive. they also have a crank case heater which i’m not sure ever turns off so they use a bit more...

    Home A/C unit died-- by design.

    definitely not my preference for equipment but you are much more efficient and comfortable than someone with even a two stage system. inverter systems are hard to beat if installed right.

    Water pressure booster pump?

    what material is your home plumbing and then the drop from the meter to the house? have you called the municipality to come verify flow through their meter? could have junk caught in it. water pressure booster should be the absolute last resort.

    External Transmission Cooler in series with the radiator cooler?

    both of my accords flow through the radiator then external cooler. let the oil-to-water heat exchanger do the heavy lifting and the external cooler remove what it can. my truck is fully bypassed on the radiator and has a very large tru-cool 40k cooler on it. 3200rpm billet torque converter with...

    Home A/C unit died-- by design.

    surge protector required at service entrance and disconnect. other parts of the world have been on VFD systems for years. a lot of HVAC techs are just scared of new technology and speak on things they are not educated in. anyone can get their EPA cert and do HVAC. i’ve done multiple central air...

    Home A/C unit died-- by design.

    I just installed an ACIQ system (Midea built, carrier’s inverters are midea) and couldn’t be happier with it. loved it so much i did the upstairs system right behind it with a MRcool dual fuel ducted heat pump. ACIQ extreme plus models will heat with 100% efficiency to -22°F. 12 year compressor...

    How cold are your dash vents blowing and at what ambient temp.

    2002 2500HD 6.0L. will blow 38° regardless of outdoor temperature. 2011+ K5L escalade 700w fans E fans. doesn’t matter if i’m driving or stopped. we’ve seen 100° already in houston. my 2005 accord 2.4L will manage mid 40’s in the same 100° ambient.
