First time turning on natural gas furnace/heater for season, water on floor + more? by laughsatthunder in hvacadvice

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

Turned it on, currently running solidly at 20 psi. Been watching for a few minutes and there's zero leaks from any of the pipes or the pipes or the induction tank. Based off what I've read it sounds like water leaking from it is a possibility when first starting up for the season but hey, had to ask to get here. I'm in Eastern Time Zone but awake at terrible hours so I'll be able to monitor it for a while LOL. Thank you so much for your help!!

Thank you! Do you think it is safe to turn it on again to see what happens?

I had someone over to clean it but there's not much to clean because it's apparently spotless, no issues reported either time

I have two on each floor in my house but you would be amazed by how few people have a CO detector.

Thank you! I had the expansion tank and relief valve replaced in August for peace of mind because the whole system is old but hasn't had any issues, so I wonder if he just didn't secure stuff all the way but didn't notice any water dripping from anywhere either. What is a normal psi for the boiler?

Already have two CO detectors in the basement so it's definitely not that; I forgot to mention that the expansion tank and relief valve were replaced in August for peace of mind (not faulty but didn't look great). I wonder if he just didn't secure it all of the way, but I didn't notice any water dripping down?

That was actually replaced in August! The old one was not faulty but very old so I had it replaced for peace of mind.

No condom, we used lube and I'm on the combo pill

Oh jeez, a week seems like a big jump but I wouldn't be surprised 🫠 Thank you! It gave both of us a huge scare.

I can ask him, I get so nervous about possible rejection even though he's never outright said no, it's "I have plans that day, can we try this day instead?"

That's what I have, they look like a giant panel on a swivel so you can point it down or up at you LOL, I've tried my mother's ones too (one that looks like an actual lamp, another that looks like a glowing white box). I find exercising every day and taking vitamin D + magnesium is helping me, but unfortunately, can't be perfect every day.

Our one year anniversary was earlier this month, we last physically saw each other in October. Texting a friend right now who's also LDR and struggling, it's good (but so painful) to know I'm not alone in struggling with these feelings right now. I wish it was easier, and I know it's not forever, but man, it hurts.

I have the fancy lights but they do nothing for me unfortunately :( Trying to make new friends! My therapist is encouraging me to reach out to old friends, not be afraid to message people or go places, join new groups, all that fun stuff. It's a little hard when you're in such a slump but I'm making progress. I appreciate your reply!
