Thanks for you update.
Sadly, I've had similar results with HVAC techs in my area. I had to pay 3 times to have a tech come out and each had a different story. Ultimately, I fixed it myself.

Often there is a fuse/breaker near the outside unit. Did you check to see if they were still good.

Thanks for your reply. I do want to call in for estimates because I may want the whole thing pulled out and replaced with concrete. Thanks for your advice.

Please do post your results.

They didn't test the condeser. I will check to see if 208V feed measures OK. I would think so because the fan is going full blast and I hear the condenser motor start. The only thing the did was test...

You are exactly right. The frustrating thing is that I paid for a AC company to come out and they tried to tell me it was a circuit board problem and that the compressor wasn't getting any voltage....

Do you main the air filter? Or is there another filter. The air filter is one of those electrostatic filters set up on the return grill. The air seems to be coming out at the same force as before. If...

My central air was cooling just fine all day. Around 5pm tonight the air coming out of the ducts wasn't cold any longer. I have a computer monitor the temps in the different rooms of the house and I...

Thanks for the help. The wire does seem to be about #14-16. Thanks for the tip on the male and female adapters. I will carefully see if I can somehow use the speaker wire as a pull wire first and if...

I bought a house in the local mountains. The house had been vacant and after finding some mouse droppings I placed some poison pellets to get rid of them. After more investigation I found that under...

I need to power a camera but there isn't any power near by. It is 2 prong connection. Exactly where I need the power is a speaker cable with the other end right near a wall outlet. I am tempted to...

If I bought 3 thermostats and connected them all to my HVAC system would it cause problems? I am thinking the thermostats would/may give the HVAC conflicting info and because of that I would need a...

Labman,
Thanks for you answer. I took some time and when upstairs to see what they could have added. Here is what I think.
A wire is tapped into the air return duct and a wire is also tapped into...

A couple of years ago the utility company installed (with my approval) something on my A/C that would suppossedly reduce my utility bill....

My wife very astutely pointed out that if you had a residential requirement that doors open outward then how could you put up a screen door unless the screen door was inside and opened to the inside....

I love my tankless water heater.
I have a Bosch that is electronic ignition (no standing pilot). I installed it only for the busiest bathroom and although the hot water isn't instant it is within...

I am setting up some HVAC Zones in my home. I bought the motorized dampers and the bypass dampers. I did not take a scientific approach and just guessed at the size of the ducts/dampers based on what...

I am also remodeling a bathroom and decided to add a light/fan over the shower. I had not thought of GFI protecting it. Do I need to have a GFI circuit breaker or will a GFI outlet upstream do?

Can an employer terminate you after you give 2 weeks notice without pay? I've heard of employers terminating employees but paying them for the 2 weeks. Someone that works in HR here in California...

Tkrussell,
The model number is PR180-1LW. The wiring diagram shows an example of a 3-way installation with the PR180 to a standard 3 way switch.
Labman,
The example shows the black wire...

First I apologize for my terminology. I have a switch a the bottom of the stairs and one at the top of the stairs. They both control the same light fixture. I think this is called a 3 way switch?

I am adding 2 rooms to my home. I have a forced air AC/Gas Furnace system that uses flexible ducts. They are lying on top of my joists and insulation. I read somewhere that they should be hung up....

Tkrussel,
Thanks for your reply it helps a lot. I just need to take a systematic approach but I am starting to think I don't have a big problem.

A key thing I want to point out is that my AC/Heater has been completely disconnected for the last month but my bills are still sky high.
A question: Can a short or a hot connected to a neutral...

About 2 months ago I replaced my electric water heater with Gas and still not much improvement in my bill. The central air is gas for heating.

My electric bill has been really high! Sometimes reaching over $600 for a 2400 sq ft house. I thought it was the cost of electricity and my family constantly using the central air conditioner....

Labman,
Thanks for the advice. I will replace the wiring.

Thanks. I appreciate the answer. I do have a flourencent on the cicuit. Why would a flourencent cause the neutral to be hot?

I have a 50 year old home. I am doing some remodeling and found that I have 2 separate circuits sharing the same neutral. I hadn't seen this before and I am worried about it. Is this in itself a...
