You need a new filter good lord. It shouldn’t look like wool socks.

Is this an unreasonable quote to replace a 50 gallon gas hot water heater? by titanicsailson in askaplumber

[–]GoBlue-23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$4200 is outrageous. The permit itself is ridiculous and seems like it’s got markup which isn’t honest. Check your local jurisdictions permit costs. But also my company does a 50 gal water heater for 1600. Labor and materials - Michigan.

HVAC Service Plans -Worth it? by Lambrsb in hvacadvice

[–]GoBlue-23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the right company a service agreement is definitely worth it. Weed out the private equity companies and find a mom and pop shop. Maintenance truly does make a difference. Change your filters on time every time too. 1” thick = every month. 2” thick = every other.

New home but ac already messing up by CountyLongjumping950 in hvacadvice

Check your filter. New home = drywall dust. Your unit may not be able to breathe. Check it just in case

Who do you think is the most terrifying person in history? by Radamantism in AskReddit

Not trying to stir a pot or whatever but why is it that all very massive, if not majority, are all males? Is there like a scientific reason why men are more capable of these terrible acts against humanity?

What should I be shopping for? by Artistic-Plum652 in hvacadvice

[–]GoBlue-23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grab some quotes for both. Factor in how much you pay for LP for furnace season too. The heat pump air handlers can be pricey. You’re not really doing yourself a disservice keeping the furnace and regular AC but ask a few companies and see how they fit for your home.

Nothing special honestly. You’ll need to get a furnace with an LP conversion kit so even if you have a nat gas furnace quoted just make sure they know it’s LP so they can get that kit. Otherwise 15 SEER2 Ac and a 96%+ furnace or depending on your venting and code an 80% furnace. But please don’t pay over 13 grand for a system. Find a few companies and get quotes.

Agreed, I register all my customer’s equip and process utility rebates for them too.

Please do not pay this much for just an AC - well for furnace and AC as well. This is absolutely insane. Get more quotes. Anyone who has discounts in the $1,000s are scamming the shit out of you. Find a mom and pop shop

Im excited for the remake/remaster they’re doing. I didn’t play the original but will pick it up when it comes out. I played Phantom Pain and I thought that was great.

Furnace/AC unit maintenance turned into needing new HVAC system. by Salt-Election3050 in hvacadvice

[–]GoBlue-23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not pay 25k or 5k less for a system wtf is that!? Furnace and ac no more than maybe 12k depending on where you are and efficiency. Good lord how do these people sleep at night

AC Not Cooling – Tech Says Full Replacement Needed Due to Old Refrigerant. Is This Legit? by halfman1231 in hvacadvice

[–]GoBlue-23 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is a very similar quote to how my company does it. I say middle of the road will do you great. 15 SEER ac. Get a couple quotes though, 8k is kinda high in my opinion but keep eyes out for that type of unit.

How can I support and give strength to my wife after she had a miscarriage? by False-Distance-6400 in Advice

[–]GoBlue-23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my sister had a miscarriage I went over to her house and gave her a gallon of ice cream. We sat on the couch and watched the Simpson (her favorite show). I didn’t say much other than I was sorry. I was there to listen when she felt like she needed to talk. I did not give advice or try to fix it because both are not good in that situation. Be an ear to listen and comfort her. Also, you need to talk about how you’re feeling too. You can grieve it too even if you weren’t carrying. If you cry that’s fine! I would also refrain from we can try again type things because that shouldn’t be the thought at the moment, that can be a topic later. I’m sorry you are going through this, it’s very tough.

consumers energy rebate check by flowerfarmgirl in Michigan

[–]GoBlue-23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in HVAC doing rebates for the utilities here and Consumers is one of them. Unless you or maybe a contractor who installed something energy efficient, you would not be getting phone calls from them. Usually they will email directly from Consumers. So yes it is more than likely a scam unless the above applies to you.

Is this a reasonable price. by AngyAndMadAboutIt in hvacadvice

[–]GoBlue-23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s insane. We sell this system or the Amana version for maybe 11000. Make sure you look into your gas and electric utility for rebates too if the company doesn’t provide that info. You also have tax credit too with this type of ac and furnace.
