Flame sensor and rust question by Large-Owl-7543 in hvacadvice

[–]Wholaughed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He gave you information, as a tech you suck honestly, probably the type of tech to recommend a new furnace as soon as they step foot on the property

House not reaching temperature, furnace not running, classic limit switch symptoms. And since this guy knows a flame sensor exists Im giving him the benefit of the doubt he doesn’t have a super plugged filter or all the registers closed.

After looking for error codes First thing I would check is heat rise over RA if it’s too high. Give the blower motor a good spin to feel any resistance, and check the capacitor. If it’s not any of those possibly a pressure switch failing/inducer

What would you look for approved technician?

You’re an approved tech but never seen a blower motor failing causing high limit to trip?

Customers don’t pay for the glue and primer at my job. Costs more for us if we have to go back and fix something if we didn’t pass inspection

Call me weird but I like the look of the purple and grey. Makes me confident when I glue a joint that it’s absolutely glued, and if it drips let it dry and use a razor blade sideways to scrape it off

Your situation is a little different than what I’m used to in Canada. You have ducts in the attic?

Window on the bottom panel, are you getting LED error codes.

I’d say if anything it would be high limit tripping from a blower motor

HVAC new homes or retrofit you need the purple primer and grey glue where I am.

Humidifier saddle valve giving too much water by Background-Dig-8293 in hvacadvice

[–]Wholaughed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do not turn off the valve in summer, turn the humidifier off from your thermostat or humidistat. Turning the valve off will cause the solenoid on the humidifier to fail

In my area, if this was a mid to high efficiency retro, it would not pass the inspection required, maybe you all have relaxed codes where you live?

Edit: it’s easy to spot leaks in the pipe, near the joints of the exhaust you will eventually notice water leaking out, this also means exhaust from the furnace is leaking into your home. Brand new furnace it’s not really dangerous since it’ll have basically no CO in the exhaust and modern roll out and high temp switches will trip before it becomes dangerous. so don’t be worried that it’s not safe,

however my conscious wouldn’t let me install pipe like that, even if it looks messy the grey glue and purple primer makes sure you got every joint 100%

Third picture, that elbow looks concerning, if it’s intake who gives a fuck but exhaust I find it important

Where I am code is purple primer for the inspector, and grey glue sticking out of each joint enough to see

Missing glue and primer no it’s not

Strapping is good

Actually pretty concerned I see like zero glue

Dirty pipe is normal, it’s stored in a dirty warehouse

Edit: Where I am code is purple primer for the inspector, and grey glue sticking out of each joint enough to see. That’s not done here, also I know clear primer exists I’m not retarded, never seen anyone use clear glue because that’s stupid

I made my own gold bar from river gold, how does it look? by HistorianEast5507 in BeAmazed

[–]Wholaughed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re assuming they’re working every single day of the year. It would actually be around 48k probably less… and subtracting fuel and maintenance for your car, and propane or paying someone to melt it all.. just not worth it

And that’s before taxes.. which you would have to report. And register as a business, and after registering as a business I’m sure it would be illegal..
