Yeah, I thought it was better but not really; sometimes it acts up, and sometime not so much. I did verify it has a good ground to neutral w/ohm meter. @Jeff H Young When you say check the reading, I assume you mean the current in the flame sensor? Will try that next chance I get. Thanks!

FYI installed new flame sensor and, while it does seem improved, furnace still makes that noise while running, but it's less frequent. Got two new sensors, was thinking of trying the other new one..?

Terribly shocked and saddened when I saw this thread. I only knew Terry via this forum but felt like we might have been kindred spirits; always striving to educate and help others, learning through DIYing. Heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. I am so grateful for this forum; I...

Thanks Fitter30! yeah already did clean the flame sensor (forgot to mention it) so guess I'll try replacing it.

Recently moved into this house so I don't have a history with this furnace as yet. With Fall coming on noticed this clicking noise while furnace is running (see attached vid). Took the lower cover off and, using a mechanic's stethoscope, I noticed it's coming from black solenoid looking thing...

So something like the Elevate line at Marvin; yes?

Funny, I've also discovered Norm Macdonald since his untimely passing. I knew he was funny, but had no idea how funny he was until watched some of his utubes. Yes, a bit coarser than I've seen of him on TV, but his wit is unmatched IMO.

When you talk about an "engineered leak" I assume you're referring to an ERV or equivalent device; yes? FYI I ended up closing off the fresh air intake referenced above for the furnace, at least temporarily. Will likely re-hook it up to an ERV at some point. Yes, both my furnace and WH are...

Thanks for all the good input guys! Yes, I can see if the house was tight, pulling in fresh air would be more important. But this house has a chimney w/damper; it's shut but that is no weather tight seal in there. I also just installed a ventilated range hood in the kitchen, so if house is...

In SE MI; house is a bit over 20 years old, original builder windows are cheap and need replacement. Looking for quality and value; i.e. highest R capability and noise attenuation as possible w/o taking out a large loan.. Anyone have experience w/these guys...

Hi All, Recently moved into this house that's about 20-some years old. This past summer replaced original furnace/Ac with 96% Carrier system; here's the furnace: https://www.carrier.com/residential/en/us/products/furnaces/59tn6/ We're in SE MI so just coming into cold season now. The...

Had a house re-piped (all the way to the street connection) w/pex a couple of years ago in oregon. Guy did a pretty good job because I was remodeling the house so I inspected his work afterward. I was doing the drywall repairs so his work was still viewable in places. He did pull permits and...

Just to follow up, ended up going with 1.5" drain since that what the vent was. Some pics; yeah, not pretty but think got the job done: Before: After: Yeah, a bit messy with the primer/glue and vent slope was more than I had planned (looks worse in this pic than it is), but...

Bought a 22 yr old house recently. Single level but w/vaulted ceilings in living room and bedrooms. About 1500 sq ft. Natural gas is fuel. Looking to replace the original furnace (and maybe AC unit too) with something higher efficiency AND quieter. When I'm in the basement and fan is...

As Jeff mentioned, drain is under a window, and unfortunately, this is an exterior wall, and they're only 2x4 thick walls. You'd think in this day and age, 2x6 walls would be standard? I.e. I'm leery of drilling a 2" horizontal hole (1.5" vent pipe has 1.9" OD or ~ 2") in 3 or 4 wall studs to...

Thanks for all the great input! Here's what it looks like under the kitchen floor: Note the vent pipe on the right. Do I really have to use a cheater vent under the sink? Are those things reliable (never used one)? Dumb question: Why can't I open up the wall behind the sink cabinet (all...

Thanks for the quick reply and link Wayne, but I wasn't too concerned about it being up to code. It's just I've never seen a 3" drain inside the kitchen sink cabinet before; has anyone come across this? It takes up a lot of the cabinet space! And note the 3" clean-out in there to boot...

Haven't been around here in awhile, but know this is a great forum for plumbing advice, and now I could use some please, so TIA.. :rolleyes: Recently bought new (to us) house and remodel is in process. Tearing out old kitchen cabinets and saw something under the kitchen sink cabinet I've...
