New England B.S. Thread

Think the Bruins will pull it off tonight? Their forwards have to forecheck if they're going to win. Tuukka needs a big save early on too.

 

I have 2 of these and they’ve worked fine so far. I only use them to control my forced hot water heat system, no cooling but they do have the ability. They’re programmable and very easy to set up and override if you need to. Is this one of the Honeywell models you’re considering?

 

For the new house?
Just 1 zone?
Honestly, i would get a smart stat, Ecobee, or Nest(i have 2 Ecobees myself, and my close friend is running z Nest).
Nest is probably more y9ur speed.
The t87s arent what they used to be.

 

We have a similar one to that now, is fine nothing wrong with it. The ones I was looking at were circles and styled like the old school ones.

Yes one zone. I had a nest in Raleigh didn’t really like it. Was checking out their new simpler one as I know they’ve improved since then, I wanted to check if I have a “c” wire or not as that seems to be an issue. The eco bee looked pretty good too and can work no matter what. I just like the simple circle look, and the lower impact light on the nest “e” was appealing as it won’t blind me at 5 am.

 

Of this is for the new place, you should absolutley have. C
In fact, if its roughed in, you should have 18/5, or 18/8. In either case, its a matter of terminating the wires.
Most modern equipment is set-up for power robbing tstats.

A smart stat is the way to go.

Havent dealt with the nest myelf, only suggested it because you seem to prefer the round style.

My upstairs ecobee does not bother me in the middle of the night when I walk past it.

 

This is all good news! Yes I like the looks of the round nest but I was looking hard at the eco bee as well, it has great reviews.

They stuck some basic heat only t-stat on for the winter so it was warm inside but sounds like anything should work and final electrical isn’t all finished even if it wasn’t. I’ll look a little more and make a pic tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks!

Edit:
Mass saves will give me $100 back on Nest, making their cheaper one $69 dollars. That might swing me. Ecobee probably qualifies too I would guess though.

 

Yes, the ecobee qualifies as well.
There is a couple options with the ecobee.
Happy to help there.
Take a pic of the wiring behind the stat.
Is this something you are going to install? Or your builder/contractor?

Depends on timing. If I grab one and have it in the next couple days they will, if not I will. I did the ones is Raleigh wasn’t too bad. Our managers husband is a commercial electrician and worst comes to worst he could hook it up for me.

 

Helicopter tape / rocker guard film behind the flares might keep the marks off. I have some across my tail gate when I had the cap.

 

Didn't even think of that, good idea!

 

Nice win for the Bruins

 

Good morning everyone

 

Good morning

 

Top o' the mornin' to ya

 

Good morning. Been MIA for a bit, just busy with life and work, not paying much attention to the forums. What's new? Gonna go check out the wheeling thread, need some dirt.

 

I'm home lol officially out of sick time so starting to cut into vacation but the little one is sick.... Again..... Apparently we never should have left sunny Florida

 

That was sweet, huh

 

Happy hump day, meat socks!
More rain today! Great weather lately

...if you're a duck

 

I'm hoping it stays dry down here today so I can cut my lawn tonight after work. Grass shot up in the last week and haven't had a dry enough spell to cut it yet.
