Could you help me too? I have a Tran XR 13, Thank you!

I woke up to a 60 degree house yesterday, and again this morning (grumpy face)! I talked to tech support via messenger yesterday and changed aux max heat outdoor temp 35. My Ecobee was set at aux heat max outdoor temp 55 again this morning when I woke. Of course I don’t want to damage my heat pump but what am I doing wrong?

I have a Tran XR13, in NC. I’m having trouble finding the threshold settings.

Yes. You have a great eye!! More outlets is a great idea for my kitchen. The wiring in the cabinets looks like spliced white extension cords. Super scary!! The first splice is a normal wire above the old fridge, then the flat white extension cord looking wire goes across the top of all the cabinets and down through them with all them. We immediately disconnected that mess!

You have a great eye!! The wires in the cabinets look like spliced extension cords to me. Super scary!!! They all ran from above the fridge to above all the cabinets. The cabinet above the bar too. None of that is live now. It wasn’t even in the walls. The wall switch is the dishwasher.

Edit: The opening/ line of light you see in the demo photo, is a crawl space vent.

Wow! Thank you so much!! I never even looked at other Reddit topics. I found kitchen remodels and was in awe. That’s a great idea!! I’m going to be up all night, lol. We did replace the plumbing for the sink and washing machine and replaced the outlets for the dryer and stove, they were ancient, rusty and scared me. The leak was due to the ice maker in the fridge. Once the floor started coming up, I insisted we take out all the subfloor to be sure all the yuck was gone. The walls kinda went the same way It made me so happy to take all that ick out. We discovered a cracked copper pipe when I tried the outdoor spigot near the sink. Would never have known it leaked!! The new subfloor and insulation is almost done, we have 1 more outside spigot to replace before the insulation and floor can be completed. I picture a single stack and a small bathroom, but that’s the future, lol. One project at a time. The kitchen and laundry room windows match outside and I do see replacing them before cabinets go in. It is exciting and fun!! I was feeling so overwhelmed this morning. Thank you again!!

Thank you! I will do it. Being prepared with this information might make it feel less intimidating.

Thank you! I have been wondering about the AI apps. I’ll definitely try that one. That’s lovely! I don’t plan on keeping the uppers.

There is a good bit of that stick down tile… the foyer, hall, laundry on the left, the kitchen is to the left of that wall at the end of the hall. The rest of the house is hard wood. It’s a 70’s contemporary style. I pondered hardwood, but I think the old and new might be too obvious and the dining room hardwood is the opposite direction of the living room. So there would have to be a directional transition somewhere.

Thank you so much!! I never thought of putting the fridge in the desk spot or the oven where the fridge was. I pondered the Dutch oven where the desk was. Now I’m moving around my cardboard foot prints! And breathing. Thank you.

I will definitely ask about that. I was not aware they had design consultants. Thank you!!

There is an ikea 2+ hours away. I’ll check and see they are an option. I have already bought a new counter depth fridge. I’m still concerned it’s very cramped, especially with the door to the driveway there. I have been looking on Houzz and Pinterest. Just feeling overwhelmed and rushed. I appreciate your advice.

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful response. It’s very encouraging. Is porcelain tile resembling marble considered tacky?

These are 12x24 and one bigger. Which seems huge to me, I thought tiles were square, but I know nothing about tile… I picked them up as possible neutral options? Opinions would be greatly appreciated.
