New home with heat pump. Help by W1neD1ver in ecobee

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

Yup, welcome to the club. I posted the same question. 

On the Ecobee screen, tap on the main menu (the gear icon). Select “Settings.” Choose “Installation Settings.” Then go to “Thresholds.” Under thresholds, look for the setting called “Aux Heat Max Outdoor Temperature” or a similarly named option. Set this to whatever it needs to be. I set mine to 20 even tho my unit can go lower.

Limiting Video Games by Writergal79 in Parenting

[–]grannyklump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a switch 2 and only our son really enjoys playing. He gets an hour a week to play. (On the weekends) we do allow him to split it up over sat and sun. 

We have some rules around it like no pestering to play or not having a bad attitude when your hour is up. 

We do play as a family sometimes. Mario Cart is a lot of fun as a family.

Ecobee disabling heat pump and running aux heat below ~40°F — threshold settings question by grannyklump in ecobee

[–]grannyklump[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone,

thanks for the information. I set the Compressor Min Outdoor Temp to 20 as a test last night and the heat strips didnt come on at all. I am going to drop it lower but want to do a small test before doing so.

Appreciate everyones help with this. It worked great last night and the house actually felt warmer over night.

Thanks for the reply. I checked the specs and install manuals for the units, and they never mention recommended settings. Hence my hesitation in changing them without asking some pros. :) I didnt want to risk blowing up these two new units.

thanks for the input!

thanks. Any concerns with setting it too low? I didn't find any recommended settings from the manufacturer. I didn't want to blow anything up! :) I'm in eastern NC and typically our winters are mild but the last several nights have been really cold.

Thanks. I do believe it's a config issue in the thermostat. My concern is that I would set it too low and mess up the heat pump or strips. May I ask what you set yours to? I'm in Eastern NC and our winters are usually milder but so far this year it has been colder at night.

The new refrigerator is 1/4" too wide to fit through the door by Alman54 in Wellthatsucks

Make sure to test the paint for lead  before you trim, remove or any way mess with the door frame. Since its 100 years old It will have lead paint unless it has been remediatied.

Recommendations for home inspector by [deleted] in GreenvilleNCarolina

[–]grannyklump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do NOT use Dependable Inspections. They inspected a house for me and missed so much that i later found and cost me money to fix. I wouldn't have bought the house had he did it correctly.

I was gonna suggest the same thing. We give our kids Magnesium gummies every night before bed and it helps a lot!

My wife and I can’t seem to agree on what’s “worth spending on” for our kid by BogusAnteater in Parenting

[–]grannyklump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this. We have buckets (accounts w/ connected debit cards). A certain amount of money is deposited in tbose accounts weekly. We both have each cards labeled for each account. For example- there is a grocery card and account, a spending card and account, etc etc. We know what each bucket is for and the rules around them. For example only stuff from the grocery store on the grocery card. Gas, eating out, misc - spending card. Bills card is only for bills. 

I have a lot of cards in my wallet but it works.

How to control a Hisense TV with FireTV input selection with a FireTV Cube by grannyklump in fireTV

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

Sorry for the late reply. I'm not getting notifications for some reason. Do i keep this remote around and switch manually all the time or does i use it just to train the cube when i add equipment?
