I just got a new Central AC outdoor and Indoor unit. My new outdoor unit (5 tons, Goodman) has a puddle underneath it and there is a puddle inside at the bottom of  the unit. Is this normal? My ac guy texted me its fine but I am nervous as its brand new and my old one didnt do this. Any insight?

Do you see white ice building up on the compressor after its been working for a while? You need to look inside the unit, thru the fan..

General Discussion / Re: Is a Carbon Monoxide detector necessary in a large home?

« on: April 17, 2018, 10:31:41 PM »

DW read to me a story she received from a friend on WhatsApp about a couple that had high levels of CO in their apartment on a Friday night, and were saved by a CO detector they weren't even aware they had. The story ends off encouraging people to install CO detectors.

I insisted that a CO detector might be necessary only in small apartments, but in our large home with lots of open space, I don't see a risk of CO poisoning (except if someone would be spending much time in the boiler room, which is the only place I can imagine CO might accumulate).

Am I wrong?

YES

complete bs
Says up to 30% as of today but like someone also said almost nothing is 30 off.
Most is 10
Lego is 5, not even a decent price compared to elsewhere

This is very diff than typical oob sales.
People are going for nostalgia and once people come they buy stuff

What kind of oven do you have?
If there is a gas leak you do NOT want to be using the oven

My memoir frost free freezer suddenly stopped running. Any ideas? On Friday the drain was a chunk of ice and that is when we noticed it. We emptied and defrosted over shabbos but no luck.

Are you sure its getting electricity?
Is it making any noise?
You will prob have to call someone unless you are able to safely deal with electricity.

Just a tip-

If you see white build-up on the inside of any urn...
That is not going to let the unit work well and can shorten the life of the appliance.
To remedy...
Fill the urn with white vinegar to at least cover the part that has the build-up.
Either leave it for a day or two or just turn on the urn for a few hours to do a quicker and better job.

Let me know how it goes..

This help really well in those instant electric urns..

True. There is also mazal involved...

People don't realize that when you spend allot to lease you are not giving yourself the chance to have good mazzal.
Which plenty of people have with 5-10 yr old cars.
And you are talking about thousands of dollars over a few years...

Just know beforehand how much you stand to gain and if the process will be worth it.

Thanks.
