Gas heat Oil heat and air conditioning. Most of this stuff requires a licence, special tool and training. However, if you are handy there are many things you can do your self, especially with help. This usually requires a lot of information from you for someone like me to correctly diagnose without being there. You must provide model and serial numbers and may even be asked to provide pictures. Suggestions will be given based in the information provided. That said, should you decide to follow up on those suggestions, you will be doing it at your own risk. If I feel you are over your head or you are creating a unsafe situation, help will stop and you will be instructed to call in a pro. I have a couple of rules.
1. If you insist on servicing your own heating equipment, install quality carbon monoxide detectors first.
2. Never disable a safety device and consider it fixed. Jump safety switches as a test only and only when told to do so.
3. If your fancy shmancy heater or air conditioner has been working fine and all of a sudden it's not, it's not a adjustment so don't attepmt any.
4. Ask first, buy parts later. It gets real expensive real fast if you just start replacing things in the hope that you will stumble onto the problem.
I will most likely be adding to this list as I am usually helping pro's with techie issues and not end users. So start your own thread with your own special heating problem and I will do my best to help you resolve it.
As time permits, I will post a overview of different systems. Don't wait for me to cover your spacific system. Ask and I'll go right to it.
