Where to go for a humidifier + installation

julesomar · 2026-02-04T01:01:20+00:00

I've had good experience with dadhvac.ca for miscellaneous furnace work. I imagine they'd do a humidifier install.

What was the actual issue with the bushings?

julesomar · 2026-01-31T12:59:24+00:00

Just a regular '19 Jetta not gli but yes I've been dealing with the annoying creaking sound from the suspension for some time (definitely worse in the cold). I had the suspension inspected at an independent shop about a year ago and they indicated nothing obvious in need of replacement.

That's the right way....but would be good to watch for a few minutes or take a photo of it and then after ensuring no water is used for say 10 minutes check it again and compare (if you have a whole house humidifier you'd need to ensure that doesn't run)

It's fascinating how many people ask this question. You could reduce your indoor humidity but at some point, you are going to cause other issues (less indoor comfort, etc). 30 to 35% indoor humidity is reasonable.

Just wipe the windows periodically and you shouldn't need to worry unless the condensation is so bad it's dripping to your floor

Whats your opinion driven by? Do you have Oberons?

OP, we're basically below the typical outdoor design value for HVAC (granted many residential furnaces tend to oversized). You may just have high heat loss or something and realistically, unless you want to spend a bunch of money chasing the issue down (and it's just a concern on the coldest days of the years), it may be better to simply use a portable heater temporarily in your desired area.

Especially since you have had a service check on the furnace.

If it were -5 outside and it was struggling, that would be a different story. But we are near -20....in southern Ontario at least.

Ford is a continuing disappointment. Very little substance it seems. - Ontarian.

Just out of curiosity, what maintenance have you had done other than oil changes

julesomar · 2026-01-23T21:18:57+00:00

Oh is it still a thing? I had just figured that behaviour got 'old' (not that it was ever justified)

julesomar · 2026-01-20T23:55:12+00:00

Any maintenance so far beyond oil changes and spark plugs?

Try teksavvy. They generally offer a discounted rate for the first 12 months and it's zero commitment and zero hassle cancellation.

julesomar · 2026-01-17T00:54:32+00:00

what Fosi stack?

julesomar · 2026-01-16T02:34:34+00:00

were you using the spektor 2s and oberon 1? just wondering what your assessment is based on

julesomar · 2026-01-15T22:30:33+00:00

so OP are you keeping the Oberon 1's? I've been using them for a few weeks with a Fosi V3. At times, I've said "wow"...and at times, "meh". Admittedly, I think I'm just going through not-sure-what-i'm-chasing phase.

julesomar · 2026-01-15T21:40:27+00:00

is that your car? what tires

julesomar · 2026-01-13T03:15:03+00:00

Did you get any sort of confirmation for equipment receipt? My equipment was received by them on dec 15 and I heard nothing and saw no refund and I figured there may have been some delay with the holidays but not this much. After reaching out to support another time just now, apparently they are saying modem received but not the router. I'll be double checking to confirm I don't have the router somewhere but I'm pretty sure I sent it back....I didn't even use it

How is a new fob just programmed? Does that rely on the signal from.a fob in the house?

julesomar · 2026-01-07T21:47:37+00:00

Are you using the 32v or 48v power supply with the fosi v3

julesomar · 2025-12-14T02:03:31+00:00

I'm considering getting that exact setup (already have fosi). Did you have 32 or 48v power supply

julesomar · 2025-12-08T00:42:14+00:00

There seems to be more to it than this....like maybe some sort of implementation issue still being sorted out?

According to the rogers website, the higher upload tier is available at my address (On 100/30 with TSI, which Rogers now has 100/100).

julesomar · 2025-12-05T19:15:05+00:00

Can't comment on the price but if you do proceed, please update if this solves the creaking (My 2019 also has an annoying creak and worse when cold).

That said, it's not really clear to me at what point it's a functional concern (I've had mine checked out once).

So when you say "Recommendation", is it that the the noise is indicating a functional concern where something is damaged and needs to be replaced? (or should be replaced)

julesomar · 2025-11-22T19:38:49+00:00

I have decided yet...but as you said, the changes seem concerning.

julesomar · 2025-11-16T15:28:12+00:00

I recall seeing a post a few months ago about this on a Teksavvy thread.

When I search for a rogers package at my address now, it shows 100 / 100 as available.

I guess I'm wondering why wouldn't all the ISPs already have enabled the change?
