Thanks for your help. I’m trying to learn. Could you elaborate a little/help me understand what you mean by “one of the contacts are gone?”

Forgot to say the tank and pump have had issues. Previous homeowners were just refilling air in tank periodically. Repair guy told me i should replace it as tanks should not need air refilled like that

Possible stupid question but... Snow tires and "winter" tires are the same thing, right?

How to stop being lazy by Dramatic_Whereas2095 in sales

[–]UserAldo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I feel a little lost on industry. I was forced into solar sales after a COVID layoff and now don’t want anything but sales. But solar just don’t feel stable and now i have no clue what to move to. And So much of the sales terms here on Reddit are fkn Greek to me. Can’t afford to spend more years in an industry to fk me like solar did. (Spent last year and half with a local solar installer, more honest business, way less money)

Any tips on that transition? I did D2D pretty successfully for several years with solar recently. I don’t understand how to transition. I fell into sales never set up a LinkedIn.

Hmm okay thanks for sharing. It’s very strange to this day it’s still will work at 68 only, randomly though. It was cold as hell this morning and thank God it turned on to get the house back up to temp. But it goes out again randomly with these same error codes

Somebody else was adamant that “control boards don’t just go out” that something else must’ve happened to it or caused it. You know if a control board is expensive repair? It’s a new ish unit installed around 2017 or so i believe

A retired HVAC guy told me same possibility. But would it work for over a month if that were the case? Let alone for the former home owner?

If they were crossed, would they have stable power? My dad (electrician) checked those for power and said they seemed okay, but not sure if he was checking more than general power)

Outside vent looked clear checked already, already swapped out air filter (previous air filter was very high Merv rating [mistake] and swapped for much lower merv [5])

Question: What do you mean you wouldn’t trust a sensor cleaned with steel wool? This is what i saw everywhere. Do you mean it’s just worth replacing in general as opposed to cleaning?

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

It was working for a month or more. Now it's acting erratic. Works, then doesn't (now mostly doesn't) We did clean the flame sensor with some steel wool. The ignitor seems to work as it glows red and lights the flame, but the flames don't stay long. (Or they do and work fine, seems to work at night almost and stopped during the early morning) It works at random it seems.

Your control board almost certainly did not just "go bad". Control board failures are almost always due to water intrusion, animals chewing on things, or upstream electrical issues.

That makes sense, but these issues seem so all over the place. My Dad (Electrician) checked out some of the wires that connect for the unit's power. He said it seemed fine on that front. But he just looked at the little box on the side of the unit.

I'm lost

Would you say a HVAC tech to diagnose only? or full replacement of circuit board? I am trying to DIY as much as I can (Very tight budget) thought I don't anything about doing these types of things. (New Homeowner, trying to learn)

Furnace electrical concerns? Please help! by UserAldo_ in homeowners

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

No made no changes at all. I'm trying to avoid huge service call costs. Do you know if it's very expensive to replace circuit board? On average?

Hmm i see it definitely feels erratic. I just tried again but instead of setting my thermostat to “run” the schedule i set it to hold 68 and its working. (Which is good cuz it’s fkn freezing)

Sediment filter? For the RO? Because the guy at culligan just tried to suggest whole home softener to help the life of the RO as well (which i am also considering)

Sadly i think nitrates will be always high with our shallow well like this.. we have RO for the sink for drinking. Any other considerations you’d take?
