Keystone State Thread

just remember they don’t build them like they used to. Why replace what’s working, just keep a few critical spare parts next to the furnace.

 

Mine has only left me "stranded" to the point I couldn't get the part locally within hours once. The heat exchanger cracked when it was still under warranty and it took several days for the distributor to get a new one but they covered the part and I installed it myself. Luckily it was at the very end of the winter so we didn't have any worries about frozen pipes. I'm pretty sure it cracked because the plumber who installed it didn't follow the manufacturers guidelines as far as intake and exhaust diameters and when I had a friend who does HVAC look at it he said the burner was too high and all those could have contributed to it failing.

 

Yep my 40 plus year old boiler just keeps on kicking with basic maintenance, I'll dread the day I have to replace it

Good morning TGIF

 

Good morning neighbor to the North.

 

Good morning PA. All this talk about furnaces and boilers must have jinxed me. I woke up this morning to find my furnace not working. It's only 8 years old. I had a tech service it just last week. Called the company and they said they will send somebody today to check it... again.

 

Oh no ! well supposed to warm up the next few days. Good luck, hope it's something simple.

 

Good morning Pennsylvania and surrounding areas tgif.

 

Should be. the furnace is only 8 years old and I have serviced it every year. It starts to kick on then stops, in under a minute. I have a propane fireplace in the back and it is working, so it isn't a lack of propane in the tank. It may be a lack of propane getting to the furnace.

 

Good morning and happy Friday to all.

 

Could be pilot burner orifice or flame sensor

 

Ok all I bought a battery tender but it immediately goes to red flashing when plugged in and not connected to a battery. Guess my Google search is coming up with no answers any help would be appreciated.

I guess it just doesn't charge lithium batteries. Went to solid red light once connected to acid battery.

 

Maybe has to be connected to a battery? No instructions with the tender ?

 

Directions aren't very good. My guess it it's not designed to charge lithium batteries even tho it stated that when I bought it. Looks like I'm going out tomorrow to buy a new battery for the dirtbike.

 

Oh, I know lithium batteries want a higher charge voltage...maybe that's it .

 

Yea electrical and batteries is out of my ballnpark with understanding it all.

 

I gotta see if my brother has something to charge it. I don't the battery tender I bought must not have the voltage to charge it.

 

@steelcity2 after watching a video they said I should jump the battery from a lead acid battery. But only connecting it for a second to reset the bms.
