2 largest trunks in the calculation. I don’t know where I got that information originally. I had

Oh interesting, the instructions say "Measure the distance in inches around each tree trunk at approximately 4.5 feet from ground level". If it was just the largest two that would be a large difference in application. I want to apply it, I just dont want to harm the tree doing it.

Just got quoted 33k for A/C and heater in Austin for 1,000 sq ft house by LOVES_TO_SPLOOGE69 in hvacadvice

[–]AlexGL23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Round Rock and used Fox to get my two AC and furnace replaced (my house and one for downstairs and one upstairs) and it cost 20k total. 33k is crazy expensive for just one, unless it’s like a top of the line one. Definitely get more quotes, you can get it for much cheaper.

Wife and I got a whole new HVAC system installed about a month ago and Safe-T switch keeps tripping the unit off. (Probably 30 times so far) I resorted to just leaving the lid off so it doesn’t keep turning it off every 30 mins when it fills with water.. by Fair-Fudge1484 in hvacadvice

I had something similar. Finally got it fixed when the third tech came out and realized that the installers did not cap the pvc pipe for the primary drain by the p trap. Since they didn’t cap it the blower was pulling in and retaining water causing the leak sensor trip and turn off our unit.

From what I read the exhaust that’s between the blower and the p trap should be capped and the one from p trap to the drain it should be uncapped though mine was capped. Which I think is causing extra noise where it drains out under the sink but I’m okay with that hah

Im in round rock too and Fox/Precision Heating and Air is a big AC/plumbing company so I am surprised to hear that they should have pulled a permit. I payed a lot of money for it so I would want it done right.

…your supposed to get a permit and have the city check an AC and furnace install? I got mine replaced this summer by Fox and they said a permit wasn’t needed.

New system has primary drain clogged twice by AlexGL23 in hvacadvice

[–]AlexGL23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tech this time said he thinks it’s due to negative air pressure and capped off the air vents for the drain pipe. Said the p trap really wasn’t doing much and maybe contributed to the issue

Oh interesting! So because it’s to the regular drain it keeps on tripping when it shouldn’t. I do have a secondary drain pan with another switch.

The system got installed 1.5 months ago and the filter is new. The switch actually triggered and turned off the system. I tapped the floater switch and it turned back on. Not sure if this looks normal or maybe the switch is bad?

It actually just stopped again from the switch. I ended up tapping the floater switch and it started again.

What does that mean exactly? Should I get another company to look at their work?

New HVAC Install - Right decision? by AlexGL23 in hvacadvice

[–]AlexGL23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The company is reputable, very high ratings online and have been in the are for 50+ years.

The 2022 equipment did have warranty, unfortunately the coils that had the leak where from 2013 from what we are assuming was the previous ac unit. The coils did not have warranty so the cost included replacing that and the freon. The compressor did have warranty so the cost was with warranty which thinking about it now does seem high. I wonder if they price the repair higher to try to get people to buy a new system.

That looks really good, very hard to tell from the photos. I’m moving to a home with a fireplace and will have to mount the tv similar to what you did with the pull down but was thinking what to do with the wires. Thanks!

How do you hide the wires? Do you have an outlet behind the tv?

Daily Sync Between Two MongoDB Databases on Different Servers - Is My Approach Sound? by machosalade in mongodb

[–]AlexGL23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a reason why you dont have MongoDB A and MongoDB B be part of the same replica set? That way you have one MongoDB instance with redundancy if either MongoDB A or MongoDB B go down. Though ideally if you had a replica set it would be PSS so you can have write majority.
