My furnace will randomly shut off at different times of the day. Most of the time it will work, but sometimes I find myself waking up in the middle of the night freezing. There is a switch (looks just like a light switch) that I turn off and on (I am assuming this is some sort of reset switch) and it will immediately start working again. Then it will randomly turn off again later. What could this be?

Please could any builders / structural engineers give me their opinion on this. My house is not a flat, but a normal semi with floorboards.

The previous occupant moved the washing machine into an upstairs airing cupboard in order to make space for a dishwasher in the kitchen. It is really convenient to have the washing machine upastairs, but I wonder whether the spin cycle could do any long-term damage to the house. Indeed, the upstairs floorboards are very creaky, but this could be unrelated. Could the walls and ceilings be at risk? Obviously, the ground floor of a house is different and can withstand the vibration. But what about upstairs?

I'm trying to sell my condo and a potential buyer has asked for some specifics on our electrical service.

I looked at the breaker box and the main breaker is a 100, does that mean we have 100amp service?

I assume this is owing to a clogged drain which we will check, and/or the seal of the door. More disturbing is another INKY BLACK LEAK coming from under the fridge onto the floor. Is this Freon? We are not happy - and the fridge is only about 5 years old. .

When I say drain-pipe, I mean the length of guttering that runs along the roof of the house and down the side of the wall to let the rain run off.

I have other dimmers in the house but they do not make the buzzing noise. Could this be caused by the light bulb wattage? They are currently 100 watt bulbs. Should I be using something lower?

Our water supply in our home is from a well and a tank/pump. If the temperature is expected to be below freezing and the power goes off should the taps throughout the house be opened.

We have new wiring by a licensed electrician, and everything has been fine from June 06 until Monday morning when a breaker started throwing, just about every 30 or 45 minutes....only one, and of course it would be the one my computer is on. By later in the day Monday, it was only doing it every 2 or 3 hours. My husband put a new 20 amp breaker in it, and it still kept doing it, but only after several hours. Yesterday evening, he put in a new 30 amp breaker, which the electrician said would be fine, and we thought that would take care of the problem. We got up this morning, and it had thrown during the night. The breaker that throws has a ceiling light, not a big one, 2 recessed lights over the desk, my computer, printer, monitor, telephone, computer speakers, and a portable dvd burner on it. All of the computer things are plugged into a power strip, that still appears to be working right. I will get electrician out here, but just wanted any input available.

When I open the door, the carousel spins, the light comes on, and the fan blows. Close the door, and it all goes off. Push the buttons to heat something, and it operates normally. Open the door to remove the item, and the carousel spins, the light comes on, and the fan blows. Would you use this oven?

I live in a five story apartment building on the top floor, the building is about 50 years old.

My water pressure has been very weak since I've moved in. However, my neighbor'r pressure is just fine.

Management is great, and has come up to check it out many times. It works somewhat better after they've tinkered with it, but it just goes right back to being very weak shortly after.

Some days it comes out as just a trinkle. I've had to use my friend's shower quite a few times when this happens.

I don't know what the management is actually doing when they "fix" it... But what could the problem be? All my faucets work!

Is there anything I can do? And what should I ask the building management to do? It needs to be fixed again.

Where could I find one online? Its a heater that installs like an exhaust fan, same size and everything...I hope I am describing this right...PLS HELP its cold down there brrrrrrr!!
Thanks!
