i could not have said it better if i tried to.!!

 

howdy all,
lisa did you get your heating problem resolved?

 

We should send all our winter to Steve.

Yes, it was fixed by the time I got home last night. Took a surprisingly long time to get it back to normal temperature range too.

In case anyone is interested, turns out the heating element had been touched (bare fingers) by the landlord the last time he installed it, I guess those porcelan ones are like Hallogens, not supposed to touch them. Also the HVAC guy said it was installed in the wrong location.

 

The heating element?? or was it the pilot light??

Regardless, I am glad you are all set.

 

Its electric, so it was the heating element.

 

Both my gas fired HVAC and stove use "hot point" pilots...looks like a big glow plug out of our trucks. Several years ago the hot point on the oven stopped working and it was a pain to replace the relay that was causing the trouble. I don't even remember what the issue was...other than it wouldn't start. I just remember having to take the broiler drawer out to get to it; thinking the how time it would be easier if I could just take the back off...but that wasn't an option.

Glad you got your heat working again Lisa...or at least for Mattie's sake

 

Lisa if your heat breaks again I bet Jim would be happy to give you soomewhere to stay and we could work on your truck while you're here.

BTW Steve you're a great guy but you're messed in the head. If it's cold and not snowing its no good.

Now an 8" storm at 1"/hr would be nice...

 

That's one of the two parts you said that worked,big F on diagnosis

 

thats why i said thats on the landlord.

 

im pretty sure i could find some where for her and the truck to sleep
not sure she could handle NJ or A Real Jersey Boy ( not like those guidos on tv)

i love winter but thats cause im built like a polar bear
and i hear tell we are getting snow tonight and fri/sat which again would ruin my gtg

 

My forecast says flurries and snow shower. No accumulation numbers so I'm not expecting much out of it.

 

Sounds like a pretty good deal...

That would be why I am not an F'n HVAC repair person.

Not sure I could handle you? That's funny right there.

 

I dunno, Lisa. After having met Jim in person several times I'd have to say I think he could give you a run for your money.

 

thanks for the backing on that Petey ... the N.E.S.T guys got a better idea of the way i normally am last time i was up by u ...as i wasnt afraid to lose all my change to a certian lil girl

 

At least you didn't lose 10$ for stealing the notebook she was keeping track of everything in!
