    Tile wall to drywall bathroom remodel - hvac supply fix

    My mother had her bathroom remodeled from 60s style thick half wall tiles to drywall, but the drywall is thinner than the now removed tile wall. The problem I noticed is that the hvac supply vent sits away from the drywall. And the hvac duct is fixed inside the wall. I am wondering if anyone...

    HVAC in garage shop?

    It has been a while since I have posted... I have a shop in my garage - about half of a three-car garage, also shared with a car and lots and lots of storage. It isn't that often that I can actually do anything out there- it is way too hot in the summer, and barely bearable in the winter. The...

    HVAC question

    Air conditioning/fans off this morning. Nothing running. I noticed air flow coming in through the floor vents by just putting my hand on the grille. The ducts, registers, air returns, etc. were sealed with mastic a few years ago so I'm thinking that the air flow is coming in from WITHIN the...

    Rant Mode on---HVAC Tech in Raleigh

    It seems that after a hard weekend of work my blower motor on my furnace has decided that it doesn't want to work very well anymore. Can't say I blame it as it has been on OT all weekend. That said can anyone recommend an HVAC repair service in the Ral/Cary area? Or is changing the motor cake...

    HVAC company recommendations

    Can anyone recommend a HVAC company they've used in the Durham area? I had the company I've used before come out to price a "through the wall" AC/Heater combo and they want over $1400 and I'll be doing most of the installation! That's doesn't include the electrical work needed either. Any...

    HVAC blower motors

Might be a good idea to cut and paste this if you plan to use one of those blowers in the future. The industry standard color code is: Black …High Speed Blue…. Med Speed Red …...

    Small accomplishment on the shop HVAC

    I know no pics, didn't happen, but it really is not all that great to look at. I was able to get the electrical run to both the air handler and the compressor today. Just one more thing I can check off the list :thumbs_up. The irony is that I was sweating bullets the whole time. Oh how I...

    After posting for help needed. Phil S volunteered to give my brother and I a hand for a few hours. I am very excited and got done what I had hoped to.

    HVAC In The Shop

    I plan to add heat and air in the shop/garage. :gar-Bi The heating contractor has proposed using one of those under-the-window-and-through-the-wall units like you see in most motels. They take up a bit of wall space (42"w x 16"h), but my motel experience suggests they can move more air with...

    Anybody using ground-source HVAC ?

    Does anyone have a ground-source heatpump ? I'm looking for more information to determine if a closed-source (what's allowed in Wake Co.) HP will fit my situation. I've talked to four local contractors for Florida Heat Pump and been underwhelmed by the contractors themselves. Ground-source...
