Have you checked your drain pan, do you have a float switch? A couple of ways to wire up a float switch, one way is to kill power to the compressor. Chance are though it is the cap.

Side note - I recently had a new water heater installed by a licensed contractor, which included all permits, fees, etc. The day they completed installation, I went ahead and paid, charged to my credit card. But for some reason, they kept dragging their feet on getting the final inspection. I...

I bought a 'smart' light that Costco was selling, it was made by Atomi. The light just gets wired up as you would a normal light, but it is controlled by WiFi. They include a 'bridge' that connects to your WiFi and the light. You can set up a schedule to turn the light on and off...

Interesting thread, but what do you think the bean counter's care about? (142% in 5 years?)

Advantage? - that is for you to decide. You need to do some googling, but things like made in the USA with USA based customer support (Vista California) 5-year warranty, digital readouts (you can easily duplicate your results), 45 second 'power pause', etc

Don't overlook the made in the USA Apollo systems: https://www.finishsystems.com/collections/apollo

Navien. There are a number of ways of doing it (wifi, alexa, z-wave) and some models even come with the recirc pump built in Look at something like this - Navien NPE-210A2. This model has the recirc pump built in and you can set the 'in' temp limit so the recirc pump will auto shut off once...

Maybe Garage Journal should change it's name to 'Rant Central' or 'Rant Journa'l? Bought this 3-piece set for $96 in 2013, hasn't let me down yet

Here is another option - I have no actual experience with these brackets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Z783TYM/?tag=atomicindus08-20

My house was built with plastic ceiling fan boxes in all the rooms 😲

How about making lemonade out of a lemony situation? Porcelain Tile installed for free or discount to offset the screw up?

never mind

What brand did you buy? My Navien has a built-in, insulated 'buffer tank'. I have not experienced any difference between this tankless and our old 75 gallon water heater. What your talking about sounds like a 'cold water sandwich' - google it

OP the ones in your second photo can be used for a variety of different things. What makes them convenient is the easy repeatability. Setting up the depth of cut for a router bit or how far away to set the fence. Setting the depth of cut for a table saw blade, etc. Setting up the fence to be...

Our water company had a special deal on a device called a 'Flume'. The only installation is to strap a battery powered 'meter reader' to the side of the water meter (ours is in a box in the front yard). Then there is a wireless hub that you plug into an outlet inside your house that is...

Lol, so you sold tankless water heaters 2 years ago, yet you won't have one at your own home - ok....

In what year did you 'use to sell them'? Tankless have come a long ways... The newer ones can overcome some of the limitations of the earlier ones, like requiring special venting materials or no longer needing a dedicated 3/4" gas line. Why heat a tank of water 24/7 and the way things are...

OP - not sure why you're opposed to going tankless? Do you have S Cal Gas? They have a contractor (Synergy) who installs top of the line Navien tankless water heaters with a built-in recirc pump for about $1,500 total, which includes installation, hauling away your old water heater, permits...

They make 'recirculation valves' that you would plumb in between your hot and cold under that sink. It bridges the hot water through the cold water line back to your water heater. Once the water temp gets up high enough it will automatically shut off the bridge connection and work as normal...
