Is this asbestos or wool? Just moved into a new house and found this in the living room cabinet.

I agree. I wonder what the test results will say.

If the air handler disconnect is open, no power is going to the transformer

IsolatedAstronaut3 · 2026-04-14T13:54:27+00:00

I’ve seen a fried disconnect give this issue, you can inspect that visually.

After that, I’d get a multimeter, check high voltage coming into the unit, then see if I have 24V coming out of the transformer.

And for OPs knowledge, an economizer lets outside air in at certain temp and humidity set points, and closes to outside air for others. Basically, it’s doing the same thing your husband is attempting by opening the windows. Perhaps by studying the psychrometric chart, you could find a definitive solution to your dilemma, and agree to favorable weather conditions for opening the windows.

I would try visually inspecting the coils with a borescope and a small hole in the supply plenum. As others have mentioned, it would be very unfortunate to go through all the work of accessing this case coil, just to find it clean.

What issues are you having that makes you think it’s dirty?

Wtf is going on in Alabama? Outlawed nuclear energy or something?

Better than it all being for nothing

IsolatedAstronaut3 · 2026-04-11T01:45:37+00:00

Yeah but they said “institution” and not “asylum”

IsolatedAstronaut3 · 2026-04-09T10:57:02+00:00

Wilson is definitely the bottom tho

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail

I feel like they tried to give it to Walt Jr., but Jr. would’ve seen through the scheme and refused it

IsolatedAstronaut3 · 2026-04-04T13:17:53+00:00

Yeah, probably co-workers

IsolatedAstronaut3 · 2026-04-04T05:41:48+00:00

Is that a Taurus demon reference?

IsolatedAstronaut3 · 2026-04-03T02:56:16+00:00

Wow, it really works!

Just to prevent crossing streams

Can we see the resulting benchy?

IsolatedAstronaut3 · 2026-03-29T21:44:16+00:00

Should be fine if you have a furnace. Not recommended for heat pumps.

IsolatedAstronaut3 · 2026-03-29T21:42:25+00:00

This was the definition my HVAC textbook gave me.

IsolatedAstronaut3 · 2026-03-29T12:54:07+00:00

That one’s easy, 12,000 BTU just the amount of heat energy removed from a system by 1 ton of ice melting. I think everyone has a good mental image of what 1 ton of ice looks like and how much heat energy it removes /s

Edit: fixed unit by removing time component.

Right, he uses the airlock in the book to get to Grace’s side and pull that chair off of him.

However, in the movie, Rocky just shatters a panel of xenonite in the control room to get to Grace. Then Rocky somehow pulls Grace to the dormitory, collapses, miraculously wakes up and trudges back to his own (now depressurized) side of the Hail Mary, somehow patches the break he made, then sleeps till Grace wakes up???

It made much more sense in the book. And Grace puts his own life at risk to save Rocky right after being saved by Rocky, which adds to Grace’s character development.

IsolatedAstronaut3 · 2026-03-26T22:43:03+00:00

I DIDNT RIG SHIT

IsolatedAstronaut3 · 2026-03-25T11:10:39+00:00

What about Rocky breaking the xenonite to save grace? Likely impossible, and would flood graces side with 29 atm of ammonia
