Oh.. I see. Daikin doesn't offer a multi zone Quaternity. I wonder if they're working on that. I was wondering why your previous post recomended the single zone with the 9000 BTU head. I'd...

I found some really good info on the sound levels of the systems you recomended.

Daikin 37/25/22 dBA
Fujitsu 40/36/31/26
Mitsubishi 42/40/31/22
LG 38/33/24

The Daikin holds up with the...

Thanks Again Dana. I was considering the LGs because they described a feature called "Advanced INVERTER technology" which they claim provides energy efficient, variable output capacity. I found...

Thank You all for the detailed input! Dana, the addition does leak like a seive and there are some very large double pane windows. I've been working on the leaks. It's also build on an...

I think I'm sold on the ductless system. Incidentaly, it is the most common form of climate control in my current location (Bagram Afghanistan) We call them Chigos, because that's the main brand...

I was afraid of that. It's probably best to replace them both anyway. The old system was put together pretty pooly. If I do go with the heat pump option, is there a good option for suplemental...

I'm familiar with the split units, I like them and I will definitly consider them. The one place I think they fall short is that they don't move the air around as much. I like the idea of turning...

I live in Maryland. I own a large rancher. Most of the main floor is heated by a hot water boiler. I also have a 12x30 addition that is heated and cooled by a heat pump. The heat pump also has a...

Is there any logic to setting a heat pump to run strictly on emergency heat when the outside temperature drops below a certain temperature? I had a a minor repair done and the technician suggested...

I tested my flow rate according to instructions I got when I purchased my acid neutralizer. It's 4 GPM.



The fittings are where I'm running into problems. The calcite/corosex neutralizer I...

I need to replace my well tank. The existing tank is a 32 gallon well x trol. I have very acidic water so I thought it would be best to replace it with a composite of fiberglass tank.

What is...

I've been trying to find a solution for the acid water from my well. I've had several companies out, offering to sell me systems that cost in the neighborhood of $6000. I really can't handle this...

I had my well water tested. Everything was fine, including hardness, but the pH was low (5.4). Up until a few weeks ago I had a soda ash solution feeder that corrected the problem very well. ...

Bleeding the air out. I'll try it, but isn't that what the spirovent is supposed to do?

I had a spirovent installed on my boiler a few years ago. It just started making a load rattling noise. Any ideas what might be causing it?

hmmm. I expected more of a split decision. I guess I'll put in conduit.... it's a cheaper option since I have some on hand already. Just out of curiosity, what's the real danger in the way it was...

I'm doing a basement remodel and I just uncovered a spot where the previous owner ran individual no 6 awg cables for the feed to an electric range. There are 3 black no 6 awg cables and a green one....

I have two contractors bidding on a radient heat install for me. One is proposing to use Watts tubing, the other is using Nibco. I don't have both quotes yet, but I have a feeling the guy using the...

Got it Dana. The bypass piping is what the supplier was trying to show me when he was talking about re-piping the boiler... he just couldn't explain it's purpose. The diagrams in the link were...

Thanks for the input Jadnashua. I've talked to a few suppliers and looked at a few web sites that explain the tubing layout and spacing very well. I have a loop plan for the tubing. I tried to...

I'm finally at the point I can start running tubing for radient floor heat. I plan to run the tubing myself and hire a contractor to make the final connections. Before I meet with the contractor, I...

It's not all in conduit. The run is 100' + Some of it, the part that is enclosed by the finished ceiling, is just fastened to the floor joists... I know this because I had to cut a small hole in...

Thanks for your input, nickdel... and 220/221. It's hard to descibe the configuration. I'll just say that the original owners of my house took a roundabout route in order to conceal the cable...

I do plan to hire a pro. I'm just looking for advice and confirmation that it's a good or bad idea to splice it at all. What's the down side of splicing it?

I'm remodeling my basement and the only thing keeping me from being able to easily drywall the ceiling is a thick, grey cable that feeds a 100 amp sub panel in the addition of my house. If I...
