    "singing" water pipes
    I just had a sediment filter installed by a plumber. I didn't run the water while he was here but after he left, I found that the pipes emit a high frequency whine (singing) when either hot or cold water is turned on. It stops when the water is turned off. I have opened every spigot and let the air out from the filter installation to no avail. I turned the water off and drained the pipes and refilled the pipes but the problem remains. I'll call the plumber Monday (he was here Friday) but does anyone know an easy fix?

    No, the filter is inline with no bypass.

A/C or Heat doesn't work in "on" or "auto". Fan will not come on at the "on" position either. I changed the batteries in the thermostat. I also read somewhere to disconnect the "Y" and hold it to the "R" on the thermostat for two minutes. That will tell me if the thermostat is the problem. ...

Heater blows cold when "On", not at all on "Auto" [ 1 Answers ]

Our gas heater is 7 years old, and has worked fine in the two years we've rented here. This winter though, we can't get it to work consistently. When on "Auto", it doesn't turn on at all, no matter what temperature we select, and when we turn the fan to "On", it simply blows cold air. It...
