I pulled the carpet off the tack strip on the bottom of the stairs to try and see if I could get a gift card that my son slipped under the stairs. I cannot get the carpet to stay down even though I keep pressing it down daily. What do I need to stay down?

we have a bryant furnace that has given us problems since we moved into this house 6 years ago.It is about 10 years old, and is practically re-built. We have to turn the thermostat on and off 4 or 5 times then it will finally kick on.We have spent alot of money on heating and cooling companies comming and replacing parts only to have this problem persist. We just had a guy come two days ago and said it just needs cleaned, so for $80.00 dollars he cleaned it and we put in a clean filter, and it kicked on and off good up untill about an hour ago. Now it won't come on even with turning it on and off!!! HELP

Have a Hydrotherm model HC-165 hot water boiler with 4 zones. Occasionally the water temperature in the
boiler drops below the pre-set temperature of 160F even though the different zones are "calling" for hot water.
All thermostats are set to a higher temperature than than the temperature in the house. Water flows
from the boiler to the different parts of the house, but its cool water.
I check the temperature in the boiler, and its around 60F. Confirmed all transformers connected to
the boiler are outputing 24V, NG pilot light is on, zone valves that control water flow to the different
parts of the house are open.
If I reset the circuit breaker switch for the boiler, it fixes the problem. Boiler starts up and the
water inside it gets heated up. works fine for a few days or weeks and the problem re-occurs.

A while back I replaced the thermostat that plugs into the boiler but that didn't fix the problem.

Any idea what could be wrong?

saw in my paper today that home depot has no interest no payments on credit card purchases $299 and over. While reading the fine print, it listed the apr for purchases of $2000 or more. I was going to get a washer/dryer that would be a little over that. Does that mean it wouldn't apply? Here are the terms from the home depot site.

"FINANCE CHARGES accrue from the date of purchase and all accrued FINANCE CHARGES will be added to your Account for the entire promotional period if qualifying purchases, including premiums for optional credit insurance, are not paid in full before the end of the deferred payment period or if you fail to make any required payment on your Account when due. See below for details.*

*With credit approval for purchases made on the Home Depot Consumer Credit Card. APR for purchases: 21% and 15.48% for purchases of $2,000 or more; Default Rate for purchases of $2,000 or more APR: 19%. Minimum Finance Charge $1.00. "

From everywhere in the house, it sounds like someone is taking a shower. It isn't a "humming" noise like I see described in other questions. It definately sounds like someone taking a shower.We can't find evidence of leaking or moisture seaping through the walls. Does anyone know what the source of this noise could be? A friend suggested the water heater, but we aren't sure. Thank you for any and all suggestions.

This could be new, or a used ladder, and prices for both would help.

When my 'Maxi' boiler is running the central heating, it overflows
hot water into the expansion tank in the loft. (NOT causing it to
overflow)
When the thermostat turns the boiler off - the back boiler makes
a rumbling/gurgling noise.
Do I have a serious problem?

I have designed a system that has 8 zones for hot water heating in a home. The boiler is set into place, the floor tubing is installed.

I could just piece it together and it will work, but looking at other people's systems on the internet, I am somewhat confused on what the best practical way to physically install it.

Most people get a large piece of plywood and mount everything on the wall, but my system has 3 circulating pumps, a computer, transformer, expansion tank and zone valves. That's a lot of crap to try to cluster together and still try to make it look good.

I feel that some of these pumps will need special brackets that have to be extended from the wall, which means the piping will have to be extended from the wall too.

Any links to good photos and drawings will be appreciated.
