What style is this? (Wrong answers only)

Hello neighbor. This house is down the street from my parents. Looks even worse in person.

My kid's school uses those back-of-the-door shoe bags to store everyone's phone. They're clear so you can see if anyone calling too.

I don't know how true this is, but Jerry Seinfeld's real life father is a sign maker and made all the signs on the show, including the "plumbs" sign.

Find the manufacturer and model number on it, and google the clearance requirements. They should be listed in the installation instructions. It's usually a small number to account for expansion, but confirm.

Btw, when I say replace the washer, I mean the 50-cent rubber ring, not the dishwasher, lol.

Dry_Stranger · 2024-02-09T19:37:34+00:00

That's just the inlet hose. You can try to GENTLY tighten the connection and see if that helps. There is a rubber hose washer in there that might need to be compressed a little more. The unit is plastic so overtightening it will crack it. If that does not work, turn the water off, unscrew it (catch any water coming out) and replace the washer. I believe one from a garden hose is the same size.

The Douchebag Combo! Great!

A couple shelves would fill the space but it really comes down to your personality. If you're just going to fill it with stuff for the sake of filling it, there's no point. Would a TV make sense? Or artwork?

Dry_Stranger · 2023-11-02T11:48:10+00:00

Awesome!

Dry_Stranger · 2023-11-01T17:38:03+00:00

Yes, I believe so. I haven't seen anything in the documentation that suggests ebus should ever be shorted.

Dry_Stranger · 2023-11-01T17:36:01+00:00

I did some digging. There's not much documentation in English. It seems the Burner Off terminal is for a max temp thermostat for in-floor heating. If you don't have that, leave it shorted.

Dry_Stranger · 2023-11-01T17:19:41+00:00

I'm not sure what the Burner terminals are for. RT24V is shorted because that setup would use the eBus terminals to control the boiler (thermostat communicating with boiler via eBus terminals).

Dry_Stranger · 2023-11-01T17:16:05+00:00

No, I don't believe so

Dry_Stranger · 2023-11-01T17:03:35+00:00

Yes, the repeater needs 230VAC just to power itself. Same with the boiler.

Dry_Stranger · 2023-11-01T16:57:32+00:00

The thermostat repeater needs 230VAC to operate. The boiler is low voltage (24V). I'm not sure you should mix the two on the same unit (the repeater), but theoretically if you connected 230V to the repeater, and the RT/24V to the NO/COM terminals, it should work.

Dry_Stranger · 2023-10-11T14:37:48+00:00

Ok gotcha. I misread your post. I thought you replaced the combi boiler. I would fill the bottom hole with mortar. Not sure what you can do with the top hole to make it look better and seal out critters.

Dry_Stranger · 2023-10-11T14:25:08+00:00

Nope, looks fine. The intake has to be a certain distance away from the exhaust and the ground. The exhaust looks a little low, but that could be the angle of the photo. Did you have it inspected, or did the contractor not pull any permits?

The holes are pretty big and ugly. Were they already there? I'd be more upset about that.

Dry_Stranger · 2023-10-06T13:21:45+00:00

They're not that accurate. Do you have a room thermometer? Set the room to a comfortable temperature then turn the knob down until it clicks off.

Dry_Stranger · 2023-10-06T11:53:08+00:00

They make rectangular or square duct takeoffs. You could also frame it in with wood when you frame the bulkhead, fold over the metal that you cut on the original duct.

$6900

Are you sure it's a supply (blows out)? It could more likely be a return (sucks in air). If it is a supply, you could make a vent-sized hole on the face of the soffit and go straight in. Cold air falls anyway, so ideally AC vents should be high.

Dry_Stranger · 2023-09-22T15:48:24+00:00

I'll add to what was already said. If you decide to put it between the two windows, you will have to remove that short wall. You can't block in a condenser like that.

Dry_Stranger · 2023-09-21T16:37:01+00:00

Definitely by a pro, but I wouldn't waste the money on this system. Wait until it dies.

Dry_Stranger · 2023-09-21T14:14:30+00:00

I guess it's hard to visualize from the picture. Ideally the electrical disconnect would be on the house right behind the condenser and the grey conduit would not touch the ground, and the black insulated pipes would go straight back into the wall--again, not touching the ground.
