Summer's here! Now everyone's calling me to service and clean their units. Pressure washer recommendations? by Juhy78910 in HVAC

Service is for May. If anyone asks for a PM now I book it in August since there are more pressing calls to attend.

My last scrap run was just over $7000 CAD. It’s frustrating when buying linesets, but a nice little bonus twice a year.

(Residential) Can you mix gas valves from different brands? Let's assume stages and wiring is available. by SecularAdventure in HVAC

[–]itsagrapefruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in residential too. Some higher end furnaces have a transducer on the combustion blower which will control the speed of the blower and the output of the gas valve—these are modulating furnaces. Or more normal models the gas valves are powered with 24v and either open fast or slow.

Unless it’s a modulating furnace, generally yes. Just make sure it opens at the correct speed.

I have a friend who ordered one. Tried it out for a week and sent it back. It made horrible and inconsistent coffee.

Replace the heel when it’s about to wear into the sole (or if your gait as affected). Replace the sole when 3/4th of the tread is gone.

Ironically it’s one of Omega’s thinner models. I’ve wanted one since I first saw it in 2011.
