You need a smoke eater: https://www.smokeeters.com/

You want SO, DLO, W, or SC cable. Take a look at wireandcableyourway.com. Legit place, I've used them a lot with excellent results.

Im in Calvert with a creek and heavy woods surrounding me. My wife and daughters are mosquito magnets, open buffet to the skeeters. I now spray my acre with Talstar P a few times every year in prime bug season and that's worked great over the last two years when in our yard or deck. They can't...

Here is a good resource for you to review: https://www.decks.com/how-to/articles/beam-span-chart-table Have your cantilever at 8-9 feet of your 10' span. 6x6" are great. Triple 2x10's will depend on where you place your cantilever beam, so review the link I've posted.

I apologize but am short of time right now. You can rent the 1750 from ProTec for $1300/month with leads and CT's. I can't speak to their weekly pricing from memory. https://www.protecequip.com/products/fluke-1750-three-phase-power-recorder

Always remember, pressure tells only half the story. Must have temperatures and subsequent superheat and sub cooling. And don't ever forget about your discharge superheat! In my view from working on chillers and ice rink chillers at R22, R410a, & R134, discharge superheat is vital to compressor...

I appreciate the detailed responses. You're on to something with the lack of staging, unless staging is actually programmed to be done through unloaders (which I doubt). You're working with a Frankenstein and that comes with its own set of challenges in understanding the designers and...

100% agree! That current exhaust is in a completely dead air space when the condenser unit isn't running (fan moving air). No problem at all as long as they stick to manufacturers guidance, industry best practice, and code regarding the new exhaust run.

Chillers are a component of my background, but my new unit learning really ended around the time the York / JCI YCIV/YCAV/YVAA models began to hit the market. As I'm not too familiar with the controller you're mentioning, I'll ask you this: Can you download Trane TechView and hook into the...

The large one pictured is for cable, meaning copper or aluminum. Steel will gouge the jaws.

Place a shower valve in the wall above the work bench.

You would be shocked at how the large companies will burn money by paying for disposal versus doing some environmental paperwork and just burning the waste product.

Check with local shops, equipment rental yards, generator service shops, and heavy equipment maintenance shops, and local truck shops. Don't limit yourself to just the car shops. The bigger generator shops are going through hundreds of gallons every month. I've managed generator rental stores...

Orange wire is broken. Default o/b setting in tstat for needs to be adjusted. Read the manual.

Thanks for the drawing. Worth 1,000 words. I don't do residential. So this setup isolates solar and utility on the norm side of the ATS, and put some generator power to the emer path through thenATS, powering only those circuits which run through the sub panel. That's the intent here? Why not...
