There have been more than one version sold under the tradename Magicstat. Here is a link to one:

I did a Google search of...

Here is a site about home generators with a fair amount of background information that, while not directly relevant, discusses different grounding configurations and their implications on operation...

When our house was built 18 yrs ago the cap on our water well casing projected about 8 inches above the ground. We haven't changed the grade level, but the cap has sunk into the earth so that it is...

I received a kit from Tamko to return a shingle from the roof to them for inspection. My problem is that I can't interest a roofer to come to my house for such a small job. The only one who offered...

I misunderstood. Sorry.

I sympathize with Labman's predicament, as the price of such switches seems disproportionately high relative to their components. I attribute it to a combination of low...

The original note said that the generator was connected through a 6 contact transfer switch. So the generator is protected from connection to the utility feed circuits. Or did I misread what was...

Unless there is water dripping onto/into the unit from elsewhere, the source of that water has to be condensation on the cooling coil. For the volume of water to increase there, then either: 1) the...

I hope not, but maybe so. I received a return email from Tamko today asking me to call their 800 number to discuss the situation. Maybe they will be of some help. Less than 20 years on 50 year...

They were all built by the same general contractor and use the same shingles (we all got a bundle or 2 to keep as spares). I don't know if they used the same roofing contractor or if they used black...

Thanks for the input. I suspect that we will install a ridge vent either way. Alone as a repair or as part of a re-roof. I can see how the ridge would get no cooling from the current gable and...

I have a house built new in NJ in 1988. Roof is Tamko Heritage multilayer asphalt shingles. I believe that the warranty is 50 yrs. Shingles are over a plywood deck over an attic. Vents in each...

TamaraGT, your second note specifies a portable evaporative cooler. Just to clarify, I think that others are referring to a portable compression/expansion air conditioner. The type that does cost...

Glad to have been able to help.

I had the same symptoms on a GMP075-3 furnace. Completely turn off or even disconnect the thermostat wiring. If it continues to cycle the blower, it's the circuit board. The one minute on time is...

I think I understand and appreciate the advise. I'll take all the precautions that I can to avoid flooding my 2nd floor ceiling and am prepared to risk losing the heat. The current 80% attic...

I think that we've had this exchange in the past. Heat tracing and insulating the trap and drain line using redundant heat lines in parallel provides them with freeze protection to my satisfaction....

Thanks for the responses. That's my plan although I'm having some problems finding a plumber who will do this small of a job while the attic is as cold as it is. So I'm delayed until the spring. ...

I used two different products sold by Lowe's. One sounds like the Nashua product you mention (for use on foil faced rigid fiberglass duct) and the other was heavier weight and slightly wider made...

Can you see the smaller ducts that branch off the main upstairs duct to feed each of the individual rooms? Each of those branch ducts should have its own damper to individually control the flow to...

I've sealed mine with UL-181 aluminum tape about 18 months ago. No sign of loosening or leaks so far. One bit of advice. It's easy to puncture the tape with sharp edges of sheetmetal. Like where...

So how do I check my PVC drain line to see if it is clogged or restricted? Water is sloshing in one of these pipes and sounds like an ocean wave. I've almost considered drilling a small hole in the...

If your indoor blower is going on before the exhaust inducer fan, it is almost certainly a problem with the control board (can't think of another cause, but hedged because nothing is absolute). I...

Having an oversized furnace is nice when heating from a large setback. But it is not so good when trying to control temperature. In an extreme case it is impossible to control temperature, as the...

The quote from the manual is identical to my Honeywell CT3200 thermostat's. Only settings are through 1 switch and some screws on the back, and there are inscriptions on the backplate indicating the...

I'm the original poster on this topic. I spoke with Goodman and they are OK with an install in an unheated attic. Only caution is to keep the water in the condensate trap and drain line from...

I'm glad that I haven't offended. Thanks again for your input. We'll see how the plumbing inspector responds regarding the drain connection in my permit application. It is clearly spelled out on...

Thanks for the input. After I posted my note I realized that the easiest thing to do was to cut the hot line from the secondary side of the transformer and wire the float switch into that circuit. ...

Depends upon the problem with the board, whether you can diagnose the failed component, and whether you feel comfortable desoldering and resoldering circuit board components. Personally, if I was...

I checked with our local plumbing inspector and he recommended that I heat trace the condensate trap and drain line. I told him that I would connect the condensate drain into the plumbing stack and...

Well... that complicates things. Maybe I'm not going to replace the current furnace. I'll have to check the code requirements for my area (central New Jersey).

This is my second question relating to a forced air furnace in my attic. In tracking down a replacement circuit board on the internet I found out that Goodman is offering a recall for all furnaces...

Thanks all for your input. I will replace the circuit board and see if that corrects the problem.

As for the safety inspection, I do my own every year when I start up the furnace. Two years ago...

Sorry for my inexperience, but I'll need more details. I can't find a "delayed fan timer" in the repair parts lists/diagrams or in the installation and operating instructions. And I'm not familiar...

Goodman GMP-075-3 gas furnace circa 1994 (induced draft, hot surface ignition, ca. 80% efficient, horizontally mounted in unheated attic, no A/C). Honeywell Magistat thermostat.

The furnace...
