In a perfect world, your advice is exactly what I would do...but because I don't own the property they won't discuss it with me. Hence, my plea to the "internet" for advice, wisdom and coddling. Either way, I do not want run a second line just because the current owner installed a meter pan...

I think he did too and that was why he never completed the service. He has instead run an extension cord to power lights he has strung from the rafters. We are thinking of budgeting $10K for the work to: trench for the line repair the asphalt add a second breaker panel in the house if needed

The solutions I have heard thus far are: Run a new service from the street Dig a trench from the house to the garage through the asphalt and the repair the asphalt I believe the transformer that feeds the house is at the street

I am trying to find to how much they charge to do that but they won't give that without coming out. Do you have any idea of the cost?

A breaker box is already installed in the detached garage and it is already wired,

The garage is 25' from the house and an asphalt parking area is between the house and garage. Essentially the detached garage faces the house's garage. I need 220V for my compressor in the garage and enough power to use 10 48" LED lights. The garage itself is approx 40' x 20" with an...

I am looking at buying a house with a detached garage. The garage is wired and even has a electric meter box installed but there is no power to it. Owner says that I "just need to have the power company run power from the street (200' away) to the garage and hook it up" My cautious self is...

I went to pick up my car from my 50-year old+ mechanic recently. He had if for several months doing some resto-type work. When we arrived he was wearing a long black wig, makeup and a dress sitting at his desk He said he was tired of "pretending". He competed the car in a dress and heels.

We have an unofficial custom here that if you think someone else can use it, you leave it outside the dumpster. We had a guy die a few years ago--he saw something in the dumpster, stepped inside to grab it, slipped, hit is head and died. His wife sued. They cracked down after that. We have...

Yes--that is correct--it will use propane when the temp gets below 30 degrees, but use the electric heat pump above that. I am paying 2.85 per gallon for propane and go through about $800 each month during the winter. Besides thinking that Amerigas is ripping me off with their practices of...

I searched and read through the results but cannot find my specific question addressed. I need to replace my home AC/Furnace. The AC company is recommending I switch to a dual fuel set-up to save money and get better heating. Any opinions on doing that? Anything I should ensure I do if I go...

Here are the specifics; I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest, but the best value/comfort: $5,000 installed with new thermostat: Rheem (AHRI 7489175) 2 1/2 Ton, 14 SEER, Classic Series, RP1430AJ/RH1T3617 Heat Pump Split System (Standard air handler) $5650 installed with new thermostat...

Oops--you are right--the Air handler is VS, not the condenser. Let me edit the original post

I have priced and researched alot of heat pumps and am leaning towards either a: Rheem RP1430 (14 SEER) with a VS air handler or a RP1530 (15.5 SEER) with standard air handler (not VS). The contractor is recommending the RP1530 with standard air handler over the RP1430 with a VS air...

Mod--can you move this to the A/C forum?

The funny thing is my 20-year old 4 ton York unit will NOT DIE! It hums along every day cooling the house...it gets uglier every day but cools like crazy...

Great advice from all. The warranty company is pretty bad and I will cancel them once this is over. I called them because the air handler was full of water and the drip pan was leaking through my ceiling. He removed 5 gallons of water from the air chamber! The drip pan has a hole in it (the...

Can the piping and/or air handler coil be purged and re-used? Is replacing it a big job? thanks.

The leak they have found thus far was on the outdoor unit's Schrader valve...
