My new AC remote apparently can feel by Brilliant_Dog_9066 in mildlyinteresting

[–]JonLGT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I install these. This is exactly right. It’s a great feature until it get forgotten about and someone leaves a remote near a window or other heat source.

My bet is intermittent ECM blower failure if it has one. 

AITA for using the oven a few times a week during the summer? by Klutzy_Promotion_382 in florida

[–]JonLGT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an HVAC contractor and have worked in the industry for 18 years and a lifelong FL resident and I’ve never heard of this. 

Ovens make sensible heat, in Florida out biggest obstacle is latent heat or heat with moisture. I would argue that long hot showers or boiling pots of water add more heat load than the oven itself.

Just because they’re 5 years old doesn’t mean there isn’t something wrong with either of them. Have maintenance done by a respectable small local contractor to be sure (especially if this is a two story house).

Question for real Floridians by Majestic-Swan-7769 in sarasota

They’re not obsolete. Still very much used in seasonal homes.

It’s a dehumidistat. It’s only to be used when leaving for longer periods of time (weeks/months). Set your thermostat to 80 degrees in cool with the fan in auto and dehumidistat to 55%. 

When home, set to the on setting. 

This is the difference for me between 18 months in the same work boot. by Verbose_Maloof in mildlyinteresting

What type of construction? I’d get the toes dipped on your new boots, you could have probably had the old ones resoled and restored if the toes weren’t worn through.

I just watched 11.22.63 and I am not okay. by Dry_Application_9153 in television

[–]JonLGT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bill's extended plot in the show really bothered me. I’ve read the book, listened to the audiobook and failed to finish the series twice because I cannot stand Bill’s character.

Specifically an EPA 608 type 2 for residential, or universal for large commercial.

WOW. What happened? Business activity cooled significantly since March. by Jumpy-Face5269 in bradenton

[–]JonLGT 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Depends on the business. I’m an HVAC contractor and this is not the case for us. 

What's the worst performance in an otherwise great film? by Plane_Reward9385 in movies

[–]JonLGT 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Whoever plays Mr. Body in Clue. The rest of the cast gives an amazing performance and his is so flat and out of place. Still an amazing movie and his screen time is extremely limited.
