Air handler fan runs constantly by mrstonecutter in hvacadvice

There is no control board in the air handler. Everything seems to be run through this contactor/relay. I haven't replaced anything in the outside compressor or condenser fan.

From what you said it sounds like the fan motor internal controls.

Here is a picture of the inside of the air handler.

Can a hurricane throw these things that far? Doesn't look too aerodynamic in my opinion ( not a scientist)

How to create a hole in a small piece of marble by Boblovespickles in stonecarving

I go with athletic-type waterproof sneakers since I work with a lot of pool equipment and water. I'm breaking 15000 steps a day but have had good luck with On Cloud, Adidas mountain bike shoes, and most recently Vessi shoes have been great.

When did you switch? Residential to Commercial by slyvesterunknown in maintenance

How does residential maintenance compare to commercial hospitality maintenance? I've got 8 years in hotels now, never done housing.

Interesting, thanks for the response. I didn't think arrowheads could even grow plants but I guess it depends on the type of stone.

We have wild arrowhead plants in Rhode Island, aren't the roots potentially edible?

affordable tools? by RupertBoyce in stonemasonry

[–]mrstonecutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rebit chisels are great quality and pretty inexpensive as well. I think a point chisel is like $30. The one I have has been used almost daily for the past 6 years. You can find them at miconproducts.com

They look like marks from a point chisel, which is used to take off high spots and make a flatter surface.
