I have basically no water except for a trickle. Is there any way I can test my pressure tank to see if it is working properly before I replace it. I have replaced pressure switch and submersible pump this year. Pressure tank is about 20 years old and I have never had any trouble out of it. It appears to have about 50 lbs. of pressure when checked with new tire gauge. Is there any way to see if it is working before I replace it? Please help.

We turn our furnace to 50 at night and then it runs for a very long time to warm up to 65 when we get up. Would it be better to just set it at 60 and leave it there all the time?

I always leave fuel in fuel tank with stabilizer during the winter for the motorcycle, because the moisture will cause rust. But the owner's manual of the lawn tractor says drain it out. I'm confused. Please help!

Cycle repair kit does not work; it just slips off. The "plastic" of the bag is "GREASY/OILY" a bit like a pond liner? Advice on which glue to buy please. 9 year old wants it working again! Thanks.

I moved into my house a year ago. There is an exterior pole lamp mounted in the yard near some stone stairs. Regular incandescent bulbs burn out after only about 10 days (lit for only about 1-2 hours/day). I put in a 5-year low-energy flourescent bulb, which lasted 2-3 months.

What can cause an electrical light to burn out bulbs so quickly? What should I do to repair it?

I put two of my good stainless steel pots together to use as a double boiler. When the water in the bottom pot got hot enough, it sucked the top one in and sealed the bond. Will putting them in the freezer help "unstick" them? And yes, there's still water in the bottom pot!

I live in Nevada. In my laundry room I see a hole in the wall with red, blue water valves, a drain for the hose and a small white pipe with visible water flows down only on certain nights making a lot of noise around 2AM for about 10 minutes. It appears to be draining from above but the water appears clean.

It looks like standard equipment. Does anyone have any idea what my house is doing?

They said it was $2000 for labor and $2000 for materials. When you quote a price, labor is total...not per man...right? Then he started lying about who made the price and blamed a third associate. In today's paper, this same man was convicted (front page local paper) of fraud in mortgages.

So (1) Is labor total and not by the man?
(2) Is he milking me for money because he's such a fraud?
(3) He owed them $10,000...is that when the price went up?
(4) What do you think?

Fan switch is set to AUTO, when i move system switch from OFF to HEAT position, i could hear the electrical relay switch in the thermostat, but the heater would not turn on. No air is blowing. Was working before. Tried reset the central power furnance switch in the garage, still the same. Central AC is still working. Any ideas what the problem maybe or suggestions on how to trouble shoot ?

and environmentally friendly that is..... to heat your house for the few hours when it's cold (7pm - 10 pm) or all day and all night (24 hours)? I have heard that it is cheaper to go the all day route, but for some reason it just doesn't make much sense.
