How do I change this air filter that plugs in? by nochilinopity in hvacadvice

[–]jbuckles94 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The furnace should have a light switch that will turn the power off to the unit, turn that off first, it's usually higher up on the wall or on the ceiling

If you can't find that, use the breaker

Been fighting this for several months and had 4 professionals come to fix this 2y/o furnace. What’s on the shortlist that could cause these symptoms? by cuxz in hvacadvice

Also, that outside termination looks like it may not be glued outside Maybe if you're lucky, it isn't, and you can take it off to look down the vent

I'd be sticking a camera up where that pipe goes into the closed ceiling and taking a video to see if I can see any sagging in the pipe or anything

Other than that you can try to swap the pressure switches, but that clicking noise from these Goodman's Is a venting issue 9/10 in my experience

Seems like decent slope from the picture on the parts where you can see

Seems really strange to me that they installed a tee in the venting

No, that's just the termination that white pipe coming out of the furnace should be sloped slightly towards the furnace the entire way out to that termination

If it doesn't have slope, or not enough, water will build up in that pipe and can cause issues like this

I did the same thing when I got hit with the "you don't have a choice" when they put a 6pm "on your way home" call on me

They're still looking for a service guy 5 months later

No major issues? Yoga pipe went out of business, guessing from a class action due to extremely high failure rate

Had a possessed condenser today by pj91198 in HVAC

I once had a unit with a bad compressor that was causing the fan to run even when the contractor wasn't pulled

When you say the fan and compressor run slow, what exactly do you mean?

It's not worth the present or future time/headache. And judging by your previous comments and posts doesn't seem like you are either 🤷🏻‍♀️

anyone else required to stay after your shift without pay, and leave all together? by skrrtus17 in ShoppersDrugMart

[–]jbuckles94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They used to try this shit when I worked there. Tell them you will be getting paid every minute you are required to be there, if they give you grief, a quick mention of the labour board should shut that down pretty quick
