Hello people... we had a powercut earlier.. and 5 hours after the electric came back on..
I turned the hotwater and centeral heating on .. boiler sounds like it's fired up and the piolet light is on, but 2 hrs later the boiler itself is still cold and there's no hotwater/centeral heating...
is my boiler fuggered or has it got something to do with the power cut (or is it just coincidence that the boiler should pack up after the powercut as it was working last night)

many thanks
Lawrence

I used an indoor/outdoor (very strong) double-sided side to mount speaker wire housing to the tops of my walls. Now that I am moving I need to remove all the housing and I'm left with adhesive residue that is a major pain to get off the walls. I tried goo gone, heating with a hair dryer and nothing seems to work. I also need to try to avoid damaging the walls. Any ideas?

What would be the easiest way to make the door fit. The door needs to be 5 inches wider and 15 inches taller to fit the doorway. It's a folding door that sits on a track.

Just bought 50 Yr old house. Over door, outside outlet & 2 driveway lamps on circuit. Outside outlet was falling apart so I replaced with GFCI outlet. Test GFCI would not trip and no power through outlet though voltage was there. Over door & 2 driveway lamps worked fine. Replaced GFCI with another, same result. Replaced with regular outlet, test result was reverse hot/ground, which I am certain it is not. A few days later, bulb burned out in one of the driveway lamps. Replaced the bulb and within 2 days that buurned out. Removed regular outlet with GFCI. Still no power through it but driveway bulb has stopped burning out.

When my boyfriend moved in to his down stairs flat he discovered a lot of damp at the back of his house,He seems to think it is from where the man who lived there before built the garden up the side of the house and concreted over it (the bedroom window is the nearly the same hight as the ground outside) If he removes the stupid slopping path will this help get rid of some of the damp or has this got nothing to do with it ??

I usually keep my heat at 66-68 degrees in the winter. When I leave to go to work, I lower the temp to 60. My boyfriend tells me that I waste more heat trying to get the heat back up to 66 when I get home than if I kept it at that temp all the time. I am gone for 9 hours if not more a day. Does this make sense? I somehow feel better turning it down when I leave, and think it's more efficient. What are your thoughts?

I heard that having your heat too low can freeze the water pipes or break the heater or something. How low is too low. Right now my house is at 55 but I will still be paying a lot even though that is cold for heat i am not there to use. Thank you

I paid for a 14 Seer heat pump/condenser (outside unit) and a 13 Seer variable speed air handler to replace my old 10 Seer units. I am using the same number of KW hrs/day, and I found out the outside unit is only rated at 13 Seer. Carrier says the combination of these two units is equal to a 15 Seer system. Can 2+2=5 in AC?THe contractor also disconnected my hot water recovery system , said it wouldn't work with the new PR410 refrigerant.
Carrier just refer me back to the installer if I press for more info.

With the cost of heating so expensive is it worth it to re-vent the lost heat from your dryer into your house for extra heat? Do these devices work with propane gas laundry dryers?
