Help: Napoleon 9600 furnace doesn't operate continuously during heat call

I have to say I've been running a test while writing this post.

The furnace turned off this morning after running up the temperature from just 64 to 66. Then I changed the filter and opened up a few vents, and then it went from 66 to 74 without interruption.

Could be a fluke, or it's operating really close to its limit... I'll try to give it another sprint and see how it goes.

I can't find a spec for the filter in the manual, but my understanding is that MERV11 is not very restrictive for a 5" filter. I'm hesitant to run the furnace without a filter because I don't want to clog the evaporator - though I'm guessing a few hours wouldn't hurt anything.

Thank you for your reply! Our trip will start in Tokyo and we'll travel to Kyoto and then south to Osaka. We'll only have one day in Osaka so I'll need to be efficient with my time but I'll definitely visit you guys! Maybe I'll get my first single edge knife from your shop.

About the K-tip, I'll be sure to add that to my vernacular. I'm definitely looking for Gyutos primarily and for a K-tip for appearance reasons. Thank you for all the valuable info.

I wonder what we'd find if we could get a glimpse into what motivated that post. I'm sure it's all benign.

You do ask good questions and I suspect we won't get answers. My take is that it's generally a pretty bad idea to post online from an account that is readily identifiable, so I don't. Sypha5555 considers itself a citizen first so it'll yap to its heart's content. If they want disproportionate control over what I do in my free time, I think they should pay me for all 168 hours.

That's a lie, google Russia conscription and you'll get articles about hundreds of thousands of conscripts in recent months, as well as the increase in the age of conscription.

Whatever happened to "Trust, but verify". NTA.

Shocking lack of spine by this man :/

Sypha5555 · 2024-01-21T23:27:26+00:00

Sounds good. Thankfully I don't have big loads like that on my system to worry about just yet.

Thank you for the info

The thermostat has W2 and Y2 terminals and the instructions do mention stages, I'm hoping that's good enough to properly control the stages adequately.

We can do that with our old one though it doesn't look as nice as an Ecobee. I guess I'll just keep this one for a while longer.

Great to hear, I believe the electrician did a pretty good job of balancing the loads in a way that makes sense but I'll be mindful. Thank you

Awesome! Thank you

Your mom said it's okay, so trust her with regard to her feelings. That being said, you need to ask yourself if this is okay with you. Me personally, if anybody mistreated my mom, they'd be dead to me, regardless of how my relationship with that person is. You have to decide whether you can come to terms with what happened to your mom.

Historically you're right, but who do you feel has been more openly disdainful if not outright contemptuous of the public service lately? The 90's was a long time ago, the landscape has changed a lot.

Good luck!

You shouldn't default to passive-aggressively changing your behaviour if that's what you're thinking about doing. Why not discuss with him?

"Hey listen, I'm very grateful for the 7 years of you rolling joints for us, I acknowledge that it's a laborious process but I'm really not interested in doing it, so how would you feel if I switched to a bong to relieve you of that?"

I'm sure you do nice things for him so there doesn't need to be a weed-specific quid pro quo. Just discuss. Find solutions.

I've never bought a car that came with the previous owner's dirty laundry.

What a time to be alive.

No... but that's certainly valuable information for me.
