He paid just over $300... $120 service + $185 cap = $305. From my understanding, the going rate for a cap change is $150 to $350. I hear larger companies charge more than a mom/pop operation. Me... I keep a spare cap here with me, just in case it happens on a weekend.. Local supply house is...

Looks fantastic and super heavy duty ... but how much does it weigh?

Get a heat pump, not just a straight AC. Heat pumps are basically AC with a reversing valve that allows it to run in reverse. Based on what I know, which isn't much since I'm not in the HVAC biz, anything under 16 seer is a single stage unit. Also a 14 SEER unit might be rated at 15 or even...

I want to redo my driveway. When it was originally done by the builder 12 years ago, it looked nice, but after a few years, I started getting soft spots. I'm guessing it's because either they didn't lay enough stone or they hadn't compacted the dirt well enough. Regardless, I want to get it...

If it were me ... I'm cheap this way ... I would check with the county to see if they have a compost program. Baltimore Co and Harford county both do and it's cheap.. Balto Co is no charge, but you have to load it yourself. Harford was $10 a yard (More like 2 yards) and they loaded it. If...

What is "this"? I don't see a link or anything... Thanks!

Grainger will sell retail too. As for checking the cap, make your your meter can read farads. Also remove the wires before checking. If you have Amazon Prime, you should be able to get one in 2 days. Depending on where you live, sometimes it's same day with Amazon Prime. BTW, if you don't...

And EPA card isn't required to purchase R410a... A supply house might require it, but the EPA does NOT.

Check your local HVAC supply house to see if they will sell a wall mount to you. If they won't you might get lucky and find a contractor going in that might get it for you. You could also try Grainger, if you have one in your area. They will sell to the general public now.

Unless you never get blown snow or rain in that spot, I say get it off the floor and mounted using a wall mount. Home Depot even sells wall mounts for mini splits and they're under $50. I don't know how loud the compressor might be, but normally, you wouldn't mount it under a window. Also...

Here's a video from Fluke.. It explains way better then I can. Here's a video from Extech that explains the difference too.

I noticed no one mentioned True RMS. If you're going to get a new meter, make sure it's a True RMS meter. I personally have the Fieldpiece SC440, but for homeowner use, it's a bit pricey and a bit of an over kill. If I were to do it again, I'd probably buy a Uni-T UT210E. It's a True RMS...

This is really wired... Just last week, I noticed that when my AC (heat pump) started up, the lights in my dining room dimmed. Never noticed the lights dim before. The next time it started up, I made sure to see if the lights in whatever room I was in would dim... And it didn't .. Last...

The panel is located at a business in an old strip shopping center in Baltimore. My buddy got a call to go and was like ... Never seen this before.. Is it FPE? He checked with some of his relatives that are all electricians and none of them had heard of this brand and were all wondering if it...

A friend of mine ran into an old panel and can't seem to find breakers for it... It's thinking because the plate says NoArk that it's the same as FPE, but isn't sure... Anyone know where to get some 20 amp breakers for it? Is Federal Electric the same as FPE? Thanks!

I ordered a Rheem HP and coil from them.. They said 5 days to deliver, but it showed up in 2 days...

From what I remember, it's either back into the same system or it can be used in a different system owned by the same owner.

I would love to try a set of these for flaring. http://www.hvacbits.com/shop/flaring-spin/

Even 410a systems? No EPA cert is needed to handle R410a, unless something changed recently that I'm not aware of...
