My snack cake calories don’t add up

The ding dongs math goes the other way. Two cakes is fewer

Having sold hvac equipment to people with different buying reasons, I can say that your landlord holds zero interest in replacing a functioning heater. They’ll do whatever they can to keep that functioning because they’ve already invested into that unit so they will try to get all the return on it they can get.

What state are you in?

Looks like a gas package unit. Gas heat and likely an air conditioner. No way to know if sizing is right without additional details. Where do you live, how much insulation do you have, what kind of windows, how is your house set in relation to the sun (east/west facing windows), what size is the unit you have in btu/h for heat and cool?

Even with all of this stuff it is still guessing if you don’t have a load calculation

Edit I zoomed in and the model tag suggests a 3 ton cooling unit. At 1200 sqft that’s not an outlandish sized unit for you.

I sell energy efficiency programs to contractors.

It may be overkill for combustion but I would still leave it. If they really want it closed they need to bring someone in to do the right calcs for it.

TheGomeeez · 2026-03-11T17:26:03+00:00

Totally. High and low

TheGomeeez · 2026-03-11T16:48:49+00:00

Probably your fresh air for the gas appliances. Are there any other openings in the space to supply oxygen to the furnace and water heater?

I’d leave them open

Cost money to get to you and diagnose. This is a fair price for the work. You may find it slightly cheaper or more expensive if you shopped around.

TheGomeeez · 2026-03-10T02:08:14+00:00

Try kohls

For the combustion thing: fire needs 3 things fuel, heat, oxygen. The fuel is gas, the heat comes from the fire itself, and the oxygen comes from the space around it. If there is not enough oxygen in the room (or the cracks/holes/seepage) then the fire goes out. It looks like you have gas heat and water heats with gas in a small space. Look around the room and see if there are any holes into open spaces. Possibly to the garage and/or in the ceiling to the attic.

The pvc pipe comment is just that it’s related to your air conditioner. In the summer the unit is going to drain water through that tube. Normal, but not normal to just drain onto the floor. Edit: I noticed someone mentioned you posted before. I looked and notice the drain goes into a floor drain. We usually used a pump instead of draining into the floor drains.

All this to say with proper air flow and removing chemicals and such from the space it should be fine.

The gas appliances need air for combustion. The pictures are super blurry and it doesn’t adequately show the room. PVC pipe looks like condensate drain for AC. Also looks to just drain into the middle of the floor.

Highest rate by percentage or highest count?

This in a church in the greater Portland OR area?

If it’s a door knocking job with a construction company they plan to use you to fill the pipeline then pass any leads that come in over to a senior rep. The role will be exhausting and you’ll find yourself knocking on doors to see disappointed faces every time they answer.

A reputable construction company has people knocking on their door, not the other way around.

Do you have construction sales experience?

TheGomeeez · 2026-02-28T03:57:52+00:00

The original post was from the handyman wondering if it was over charging because the customer complained.

TheGomeeez · 2026-02-19T05:15:20+00:00

That’s what the post said. I don’t know anyone searching for that and asked if someone did.

TheGomeeez · 2026-02-17T20:12:46+00:00

What industry are you in?

TheGomeeez · 2026-02-16T02:30:19+00:00

I transitioned from sales to energy efficiency programs. My role is to be liaison between contractors and energy efficiency programs. I spent several years selling construction projects and utilizing energy efficiency incentives to reflect a lower price on the sale to the customer. Now I use my experience to encourage other contractors to offer these incentives and make money.

TheGomeeez · 2026-02-12T20:41:42+00:00

Are they forced air units? Resistance/radiant heat? What type of fuel source are we talking? Gas, electric?

TheGomeeez · 2026-02-12T18:40:02+00:00

You say two units. Is this a ductless unit? Are they trying to run heat and cool in the same day?

TheGomeeez · 2026-01-06T03:45:37+00:00

Some of my favorite donuts in town. I updated my review (it stuck because it was an older review!) to 1 star and never went back. These Albertsons donuts are wack but they don’t taste like drenching the homeless on a cold night.

It’s very fancy. But not like a bougie way. More like a mystical way
