    Residential HVAC Recommendations - Brands

    No input on the furnace but if you want a humidifier I suggest the Aprilaire 800. It's a steam humidifier that adapts to you existing furnace duct so little to no risk of mold like an evaporative humidifier and virtually no maintenance. I have one and keep my house at 50% all winter, it's...

    Ice Storm

    I'm considering a whole house generator in the future. My current stop gap is a 3500w harbor freight inverter generator. It actually gets great reviews. I added a 6 circuit 110v transfer switch to give me heat, refrigeration, lights, internet and TV. I'm all in this setup for $1k. I have...

    Escape ABS help

    I replaced the left sensor and seems to be good, made trip around town without issues. All the wires and connections looked good. Hit them with dielectric grease. Hopefully this fixes it. Time will tell. Weird both sensors went out within a month of each other.

    Escape ABS help

    Some more diagnostics. I got in my new OBD scanner that supports ABS. It's the scantool MX+. My old standard MX did not read ABS. This way i can do everything on my phone via bluetooth. I was using a VCM tool with IDS but that's a pain in the but to use and lug around. So I assumed once I...

    Escape ABS help

    Definitely not on the hub or rotor. The sensor sits on the spindle a fair distance behind the hub facing downward. The sensor sits right above a smooth stainless ring on the half shaft. I assume the teeth are sealed in this ring. I'm aware of standard teeth tone rings and this is not like...

    Escape ABS help

    I changed both the rear hub assemblies last fall. Maybe the 2.0L setup is different. I know they made changes mid model year 2013, I'm lucky to be after mid model year so my hubs have external torx instead of Allen bolts for the hub assemblies. I would not want to have to deal with a rusted...

    Escape ABS help

    I'm fighting an ABS issue on my '13 escape, AWD, 1.6L. initially the abs light came on, hill assist turned off, and the vehicle thought it was spinning a tire so it would cut power. Temp fix was to turn off traction contry so it would drive ok. Hooked up my IDS tool which reported a rear...

    A/C Techs - Step in - Mini Split ?

    Interesting. Never thought of that but makes sense. I looked into this more and another method is to have your outdoor unit running, shut your liquid valve, watch your suction go to zero on the gauge, then close the gas value and disconnect power at the box. Seems legit, just not sure if it...

    A/C Techs - Step in - Mini Split ?

    You can run multiple heads on an outdoor unit if it's designed to do so. It's very common. Mine supports 4 heads. It's a 30k btu outdoor unit and it can add a total of 40k btu worth of heads. If all are running they will operate at a slightly lower capacity. The manufacturer engineering...

    A/C Techs - Step in - Mini Split ?

    So i installed my own 3 head LG brand mini split about 4 years ago. I ran and flared my own line sets. I pressure tested and ran a vacuum to evacuate the line sets prior opening the condenser service valves (condenser came pre-charged). System has been operating great so i think its safe to...
