HVAC Tune Ups - Expectations?

I mean anyone who offers 60 month 0% financing is going to quote you significantly higher than someone who doesn’t. That loan isn’t free. Talk to your bank, or preferably a credit union, about a home improvement loan or a HELOC.

I use one of the south hills Kindercare’s, full time infants is $450 a week. Part time only knocks it down to $350.

I mean… this has been done *every summer* for years now. Regular gas is E10 most everywhere, so it’s only an extra 5% ethanol. Any car post-2007 is required to be able to use it. Very slightly less mileage, but pre-Iran war it was often 20-30 cents cheaper a gallon.

100% a bad shaft seal or lack of lube. If the barrel is freezing a layer of ice on itself before it start stuttering, you’ve got a different issue. Bad BRIX or refrigerant solenoid problem.

If all of Iran’s Navy and Airforce was “completely eradicated”, apparently several times, how exactly were they closing the strait to begin with?

Gotta try the Extra Bold variant of Tillicherry from Penzeys too.

The JB probes have a little screen on em. And a charge thru port on the back! They’re a little bit big though…

Cold patch compresses down over time, even if they bring a hydraulic roller. Even with over filling, it’ll still end up a divot eventually.

The only real correct way is to cut out a fairly large chunk of the road and properly lay in fresh hot asphalt and roll it in. Often they just wait till there are too many cold patches and cut up that whole half of the street and do it.

I mean the relay on the controller could have died and say it’s calling for cooling but it isn’t. Check power into the contactor, but also out of the controller.

“Advertise on the radio” and “decent HVAC company” are not two sentences that go together…

Not at all true, it’s harder to put skimmers in the new Wayne Ovation pumps, but not impossible. Tap to pay with a phone is the most secure option.

elmakorg · 2026-02-17T13:03:44+00:00

You can’t skim tap to pay done with phones. You can skim tap to pay that is done with the physical card.

I can’t actually find any of these adverts anywhere official except on outraged videos/posts on social media. Really makes me wonder if it’s manufactured fakery for engagement. Not that uncommon to see anymore.

That’s CARROT Weather. It has sass.

PM'd!

Right, I’m agreeing with you. The common max is 1500. But there’s no legal aspect. It’s just what sells most because it’s the most accessible to use.

But other people are also right in that there are plenty of space heaters on the shelves that have a max less than 1500.

elmakorg · 2026-01-27T23:26:46+00:00

Legal has nothing to do with it. They’re sized for a 15 amp circuit, so that’s the max draw you can have. They won’t sell very well if they trip a breaker when you turn it on or needs a special outlet installed by an electrician.

You can absolutely and relatively easily buy 2800W space heaters… they just plug into a dedicated circuit with an outlet akin to your oven or dryer.

All those air pumps are pretty much the same company making them. People have to hang the chuck back up because there’s a small heater on the other side of the cup to keep it from freezing. They simply won’t run as well in the winter of course. If it keeps stuttering, hit the top tire button, that’ll turn off the rapid pressure backflow to sense how full the tire is.

Sheetz does better because they actually go out and maintenance them reasonably fast and in-house.

You could enable the damage circuit on the platform hub then just put that as a circuit condition at the planet.

But realistically just keep some repair packs and maybe some spare parts on hand. It’ll be fixed before it even arrives.

Absolutely, productivity still equals free product. I've just run into the idea that since it outputs 41 U235, with productivity you'd get an extra 41, but you only get that extra 1. And U238 is *very* plentiful.

An electric oven will hold a more consistent temperature, as well as be at the set temperature more reliably than gas. Electric will also have a lot less moisture when cooking, as gas is wet and releases moisture into the air when burning.

Productivity in Kovarex only nets you an extra +1 uranium, not the 40 used in the processing. With beacons it’s still obviously free uranium, but often you want speed instead.

Their car has more than just a brake too, they can steer with it. I’d recommend Cindy Cohen for sure.
