Driving around I notice garages with nothing but vehicles in them and I wonder how they survive. Cannot possibly hire everything done. This week I repaired the dishwasher, found a blockage in the bath sink faucet, have another project going on and used my home made brake, pneumatic riveter...

Thanks for the response. I will spend the evening sorting through the choices and see what I can come up with.

I used the term faraday cage, it is an aluminum truck box lined with mass loaded vinyl foam which blocks signals and bluetooth does not seem to work in it. But I did not have the wires hooked up to it so need to experiment with it again. Honda generators are well designed, they tell me...

I have a Honda EU2200i that I use to power my RV it is in a sound deadening box. I have used the Honda's for decades but Honda changed the design on the generator and I am not comfortable that it will cool under all conditions. So want an added layer of protection. People seem to get upset...

When I unplug the on off switch the generator will not start, so must need a maintained contact. Schematic is beyond anything I can understand. What would be the best type of thermostat, heat sensor type of switch for this?? From experimenting the highest temperature I have seen is 104...

I do not pretend to know much about electric and muddle my way through things with the help of forums. I disconnected and checked the off on switch with a continuity tester. When the switch is on, generator running, I have no continuity, when the switch is off I have continuity. So...

Greetings, I find myself in an unknown area. I have a generator I want to add a remote shutdown and over temperature switch to protect the generator. The remote switch seems simple enough but I cannot grasp what to use for the temperature switch. The highest temp I have seem in the...

I can relate!

I had a quote for $6k for a central unit with new duct and $10-12k for dual head mini! If you search here you will find warranty's are parts only so close to useless. I opted for 3 separate units to eliminate one very long run and to have redundancy. I looked at Mr Cool but was not having a...

Using fiberglass duct board for a project. Yellow fiberglass with foil surface on the face. Will duct tape or something else stick to the yellow fiberglass side, not the foil, the fiberglass. Is there something else that will work?

Not an AC tech, upright coils look like an oil trap. If wanting to coil I would feel better with horizontal coils. I put excess lineset in a serpentine fashion behind condenser.

That new HE boiler was a miracle of modern engineering! Even heated the water for the house. Right out of warranty a circuit board went out hundreds of dollars and that was 30 years ago. Board could only be sold to authorized dealer so no DIY repair. Repair bill eliminated 10-15 years of...

Make a straight box/drop down on the rafter and mount the head unit?

Opp's no delete that I see?

Sorry but I do not know the answer. Mine was run in a lineset cover which I consider a tray and yes run through a wall. We have 2 electrical inspectors one you could use a nail gun to fasten the cable and he would pass it. The other one you cannot possibly do it right!

When installing my minis 4 years ago the communication cable seemed to cause a lot of controversy and NEC talk. I found something referred to as tray cable which seems to be the approved cable for mini's. It was the best I could do. Also found that the linesets sold for minis is very thin...

Moved to Florida and first house AC was installed by competent people. 2nd house AC was installed by hacks. Line ran flat across trusses in attic for about 20 feet and would plug up. I learned to vacuum out the drain line with a shop vac, once a year seemed to be enough. They sell shop vac...

I did not know about the adaptors and had a buddy turn down the end of a 3/4" PVC pipe on his lathe. A short piece of 3/4 and a coupling.

Same here, recently added a Accutrak ultrasonic leak detector to my kit because the authorized Daikin tech wanted to do a gas and go instead of looking for a leak.

Having a unit serviced is a legitimate concern, here in FL honest mini service techs are very difficult to find. I am sure they are around but likely busy and not looking for new customers.
