    Another Home HVAC Replacement Question

    Joey your right I made a mistake in that I meant that my furnace was a fairly efficient for the day. Yeah that makes sense. They did change out the A coil though with a modern one as that was the main part that went bad on the old one. When they removed it it my wife said it was falling apart...

    Another Home HVAC Replacement Question

    Well how about there A/C units are they okay? I still have my 20 year old carrier furnace because they said at the time there was nothing wrong with it and it is a more effiecient design. It has a Induced draft fan and multispeed blower fan and it still works great.

    What Does $2,000 Buy Today (TV+DVD player)?

    DaveF and Brent A lot of electronics dealers and county recycling centers in MN are taking the old ones for FREE! You may want to check with your local centers. As for the 50PX80U Panny I will add another vote for it. I have had mine since April and I love it. I have not noticed to much of...

    Looking at a new plasma. Need advice.

    Hi Clinton, I also have a 50PX80U Panny and I love it. I have had it since April and I have not had a single issue with it. I have it in a very bright room and yes there are glare issues during the day depending on where I sit(or should I say where the wife sits first). ;) Also as related...

    Windshield Replacement: At your house, or at the shop?

    The only time it becomes a problem with having them come to you(as long as it is a good company) is during the winter. (I live in MN.) The problem is when the temperature is colder than 40 deg. or so and that the glue cannot cure correctly. I heard this from a friend who is a volunteer...

    I'm such a traitor! Panasonic TH-50PZ85U vs Samsung PN50A550

    As an owner of the 720p (768p), TH-50PX80U, I can tell you I love mine and I am at about 9 ft viewing distance. But, that being said this is my first HDTV period and I am coming from a 27" TV, so I guess anything would have to be a big improvement. :D I have had no problems what so ever with...

    LOST season 2 discussion thread......

    Has anyone else gotten into the link yet. I got partway and saw a map and then another window opened and it asked if I was one of the good ones. I said yes and then it looked like it was going to finish loading but then it died.

    Dealery Snobbery.....

    Well I actually have a good story about a dealer. I had been going to my local dealer for about 4 years just looking. The salesman would always take his time with me and treated me very well. When I finally went to buy something there he had left for an even more high end store. But I was...

    Alan Z, A capacitor is like a big spring in that it stores energy. When there is a demand for a larger amount of power than your amp can put out like transient spikes from let say digital recorded cannons from 1812 overture.:D The caps will dump there stored energy to fill the power gap so...

    Would like speakers to match. Any ideas???

    Well here is the question. My wife when she was in college bought speakers at Tweeters and worked her way up to a set of Snell JIII's and since she worked her ass off for them she does not want to get rid of them. So the question is there anything out there that will be a better match timbre...

    Scott, Yeah those night time topside liberty cruises were great weren't they. We had our FC go down one night and it was calm seas and my MPA had the bridge and he gave me a "checkout" up there for about two hours. It was spectacular. We were in the caribbean at the time. Did you ever do...

    Dean So yes you can install a 30 amp 125volt outlet but you need a special cord to go along with it and it has to be dedicated to that item only. In other words it can only have one receptacle per breaker I believe. Again I was going to be completely sure today but my electrician buddies at...

    Dean they do make a 30 amp 120v receptacle but you will not be able to plug a regular plug into it. Here is a chart that has lots of different plug and receptacle info. The one you are talking about is 5-30R or in code terms straight blade 3wire 30 amp 125volt receptacle...
