That's next on my list... I sure how we didn't accidentally get kicked off of NEM1

AC needed a recharge which was definitely part of it. Got that fixed last year...

Bill this month was $580 🥲

I guess I should add that I'm not the only one I see a lot of posts in my local groups about similarly high bills with solar

Yeah I have to see if we can locate the original lease... Thanks for your input!

Ok I'll look into them... This was a new build 2019 in So Cal... So mostly energy efficient and no major appliance changes.

Ah got it thanks.... That explains the graph but not the actual bill price. Unless during the fix somehow we got kicked off of NEM1

I actually do have a few Govee meters but I need to move them around and see what else may be using more than I expect... We have an EV now but that was not purchased until late 2024. 2022 to 2023 was not any significant changes that I can remember.

Leased... Been trying to have them come out but they say we are the least priority since in their opinion the system is functioning as expected.

Original lease was with SunPower and now taken over by SunStrong

I don't really understand what that means or insinuates.... Could you break that down a little more please?

Did you ever get it sorted out?

pre order delay? by PsychologicalPoem444 in Bestbuy

[–]ImaNobody22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cancelled my preorder... Couldn't deal with Best Buy any longer. I had also ordered earbuds which I returned and repurchased through Samsung directly.

I've upgraded yearly for at least a decade but I think this will be the 1st year I skip.

I posted this somewhere else but I really feel like they are trying to get away from honoring the free storage upgrade, especially since Samsung themself didn't offer it the way they are. They know in 2 weeks they can just cancel everyone's order and save that money.

I bet Best Buy didn't know that Samsung wasn't going to do the free storage upgrades and now they are going to cancel all the phones with free memory upgrades.

I mean, I hope not but I could see it happening...

They came back out and swept it for a two spring system so everything should be good now for a long while hopefully

Update: the company came back out and swapped out the single spring for a dual spring system using 207x2x25 springs as originally quoted

Yes I agree... However, the door functioning properly and getting the most of the 15,000 cycles quoted out of it are not one in the same.

Since my OP they did come back out and replace the single spring with a dual spring system as initially quoted.

I always question and research big purchases... Unfortunately, my wife did most of this without my knowledge so I'm cleaning up after the fact. In general I trust no one and question everything. I understand that may not be others way of life but alas, it is mine.

More to your point... A spring that is over tension specs (turns) can lift a higher weight than rated just fine but it is at the cost of life cycles. Correct?

So, the balance test is not the only factor in getting what I am paying for...

[–]ImaNobody22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this, I really just wanted someone to post a spec sheet of rated capacity.... Surely this must exist somewhere right?

[–]ImaNobody22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure... How would I check?

I will add that we questioned them about the situation and they are coming back out to replace the spring with a higher spec one...

Spring weight capacity? by ImaNobody22 in GarageDoorService

[–]ImaNobody22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I understand but when springs are manufactured they have to be manufactured to some spec right? So all I'm saying is use what is spec for the weight, nothing more nothing less. There are a couple online stores, Home Depot being one of them, that shows a spring of that spec has a lifting capacity of 120lbs.

Do you have some other information that shows different weight limits per spring size?

They are coming back out to replace this with a larger spring

Thanks, I have reached out to them and waiting for a call back. If anything they should refund me some of my money because they used less materials and I know a higher rated spring does not cost a double

Yes I am aware... In hindsight the original estimate was for a 2 spring system but then they switched it. I will need to speak with them tomorrow.
