According to my Heating/Cooling guy, I need to have a circuit board replaced for my furnace. In the meantime, he's wired the blower/fan so that it runs continuously. The external A/C unit/compressor works fine, but I'm concerned that running the blower will be bad for the long-term health of the unit.

i have a septic tank at home .. have gone over everything .. traps , vents, etc .. still get bad smells on one end of the house by the kids bathroom only ..... i was wondering if over use could cause the smell to back up in the house .. the kids have an awful lot of friends over all day and they are constantly flushing and using the bathroom... is this to much for the septic system to handle????

If a house has a ring main, should you still have it re-wired after a certain period of time.
Be grateful for feedback on this.

How do you take a pencil sharpener apart without breaking it? I want to get the pencil-gunk out of it so I don't have to buy a new one. And, this one doesn't have screws in it, so that won't work. It has the hollow metal rod that goes through it.

Thanks.

Has any 1 tried those pest repellers that are supposed to keep bugs & mice away? They are supposed to omit a sound that only the pests can hear & drive them away. I want to know if they really work. If so what brand did you use?

Its a Kenmore machine, purchased in 2000. It is a top loader. There is no smell of burning. I don't see a belt, which was my first idea, in the parts list. Any ideas and if so, do you think its worth having it repaired?

Last nite it started getting hot, I checked the unit outside. The hose from the house to the unit was solid ice. It was working before that, what could be wrong? It is a major expense to fix it?

It gets spark and even when I shoot a little starter fluid in to it, it still does nothing. It's got good compression. The valve needles were replaced by the former owner befor he gave it to me. He didn't get it running either. Is there a timing device on this? How do I set it if there is?

I have a problem with my 5 ton A/C. I replaced the broken fan motor with a new one and the A/C system began to work fine, but after about 5 minutes it stopped. Can someone please help me, is it the fan motor itself, which I highly doubt, or is it the compressor that has to be changed? Thanks.

BELOW IS MY LAST QUESTION PRIOR TO ASKING THE ABOVE...............

I have a 9 year old 5 ton commercial air conditioner on the roof but suddenly no cold air. The mechanic said compressor is bad but another guy said fan motor or the blade is the problem. Reason is the fan only gets half the hot air out of the building and the rest is left intact inside the building.

Can someone tell me if this is a reasonable explanation of why the A/C doesn't work? What's the life expectancy of a compressor?

I have a 2 story home in Fort Worth texas that was built in 1996. It is in good condition. (ie windows are good and no obvious air leaks) The AC is the original unit. It's over 104 degrees today and my A/C has been running nonstop for days. It is not able to get the temperature down to 78. It's usually around 80 to 81 degrees inside.
I'm from So California and not sure what I should expect out of my AC unit. I would have thought that it should be able to push it all the way down to 72 if I wanted it to, but it can't even do my setting of 78.
Am I unrealistic, or do i need to have it serviced or replaced?
Thanks!
