How long can I expect my Rheem heat pump/air conditioner to last for my home? This is a two-part question: 1) I don't know the first thing about air conditioning units, but a friend of mine told me residential air conditioners only last a maximum of 10-12 years. This seems like a pretty short lifespan for such an expensive piece of equipment. Is he correct? 2) Also, is the heat pump a separate unit from the air conditioner?
Residential return air system? Built a 900 SF addition to 2 story 2500 SF colonial house and increased furnace and air conditioning accordingly. I did not add additional return air vents or increase size of 2 existing. The new A/C unit which runs at a higher fan speed than the furnace produces considerable return air noise due to high return air velocity. Would adding a return air duct system in the new addition reduce exisitng noise?

Any apartment maintenance techs out here I can talk to? Hello, My husband is currently employed as a Maintenance Man at a hotel, but we want to break into Apartment Maintenance. He's looked into school already, but we're not sure if he should go to school to get a certificate or a diploma. I've heard people say that if he gets a diploma he may be overqualified for apartment work. The certificate courses, we have 4 to choose from. We only choose one, I guess, but here they are: Air Conditioning Electrical Technician Air Conditioning System Maintenance Technician Basic Residential Air Conditioning System Design Refrigeration System Service Technician And the diploma program, which covers all of the ones above, I assume, is this: Air Conditioning Technology So, which thing should we sign up for? Are these even the things required to get a job as an Apartment Maintenance Technician? If anyone knows or can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

I am researching about goe-thermal heating.? Now I understand the basics of residential heating & cooling, so when you compress a refrigerant such as R22, You slow down the moulacules from moving. Now that will lowere the Temp. of the refrigerant. But In geo-thermal heating, When heat energy is extracted form the ground by the way of a closed loop system. It is then put under pressure Via. a compressor, how does it create heat? Would you not be doing the same a condensor/ compressor unit of a air conditioning unit? Thank's in advance for any answers!
Calculating kwh? Im trying to calculate the Energy consumption of my air conditioning unit the voltage is 245V the current is 18A (residential unit) the way i know is V*I=P so 245 * 18 =4410W I need to know if the formula changes because of the 2 phases I know the voltage looks high but thats what I measured with my meter.
Logo Design Company? We are a 10 yrs+ small to medium sized HVACR/IAQ (Heating Ventilating Air Conditioning Refrigeration /Indoor Air Quality) company that is in desperate need of a logo and possibly website design. I have tried a few companies but no one has designed something that i feel fits the image we would like to portray. We cater to the high-end residential market as well as the light-commercial market (think, convenience stores, department stores, medium sized stuff not labeled residential). Currently, we have no logo, no advertising program, no identity on any of our trucks etc., but yet we hold a golden (if i may say it) reputation where we're known. Now we would like to bring out the professional side of a company we've worked hard to build and it's seeming slightly difficult. Right now we're looking strictly for a digital logo that can be used in a marketing program. Any help you can offer would be great! I can provide more details if necessary. We are not attempting to create a brand to attract new customers but to further instill confidence, pride and awareness in the places we work i.e. Oh hey I know them! That's my HVAC company!! lol! :) Also, being completely incognito is unprofessional in my opinion. For example, if I call a plumbing co. and they show up in my driveway in an unmarked vehicle how can I quickly and confidently identify who has arrived? We are pros and our actions should be transparent, not suspicious. P.S. Have you ever seen a cable or telephone company's truck out roaming the streets at 12 or 1 am? What were your first thoughts? Yes, we have paid these companies to make an attempt at designing a logo. We have a budget but so far that has not been the issue. The issue rather seems to be lack of creativity. :(

Too Old To Go Into A Trade? (HVAC, Plumbing, Electrician, Etc)? I'm currently 40 years old and am considering going to a trade school for heating and air conditioning. While I think I'd be well suited for this trade, having basic electronic troubleshooting and some mechanical skills, my main concern is age. I am in good shape but wonder just what niches in this field are more labor demanding and might be a bad choice for older workers. I'm not afraid of hard work but am thinking years down the road. If I could be sure there are areas of the field that would be more suited to older techs it would greatly help my decision. That way I could migrate to a specific area later on if need be. For instance, commercial versus residential, store cooler work, A/C versus heat, or any other speciality area that I might not be aware of. Even input on geographic location in America would be of help. Stories of older people going into another trade like the ones listed above as positive examples would also be of help to encourage me. Thanks.

(For detail kindly visit www.karmayog.org ) Sirs, the death of 35-year-old Roona, due to hepatitis yesterday has led to panic among residents of Mansa Devi locality here. Following the public outcry, health and civic authorities should initiate some preventive measures. Roona was admitted in the Civil Hospital yesterday morning under suspicion that she was afflicted with jaundice. Later, she was found to be suffering from Viral hepatitis-A. Sirs, hundreds of residents of Phagwara town, including those from localities like Guru Teg Bahadur Nagar, Shivpuri, Rattanpura, Onkar Nagar, Industrial Area, Bhagatpura and Mansa Devi Nagar, were suffering from various water-borne diseases including jaundice, gastroenteritis and viral fever. Lack of sanitation, drainage and blocking and overflowing of sewerage system of several places were main reasons behind the mess. Despite the seriousness of the situation, the authorities of the Phagwara Nagar Council and the health department those have been interviewed by me in the past months like President, Nagar Council, Executive Officer Nagar Council, Sub Divisional Magistrate, Phagwara and Senior Medical Officer, Phagwara and have been published in the Newspaper and periodicals with my name as well had been claiming that the situation is under control. Doctors of Civil Hospital who were treating the deceased said she was transfused two bottles of blood. Ashok Kumar, husband of Roona, who was attending on her, was suffering from jaundice as well. On enquiry from Ashok Kumar he told that he had brought his wife to the hospital in an unconscious condition a day before. Sirs, the Lab technician Mrs. Tarsem Kaur & her son Rohit are also getting treatment in Private Room No. 1 of the hospital. Both are being treated for jaundice. Both of them are also the residents of Mansa Devi Nagar. Sirs, dozens of residents of that locality are suffering from jaundice. Kapurthala Civil Surgeon Dr. Avtar Singh admitted that the deceased had been suffering from water borne diseases. Sirs, in Phagwara the cases of diarrhea, malaria, intestinal helminthes (Hook work disease) that leads to severe consequences such as cognitive impairment massive dysentery or anemia & Hepatitis A. (The disease with which she was found to be suffering) is spreading like anything due to lack of SAFE DRINKING WATER, SANITATION & BASIC HEALTH CARE. Sirs, for the urban poor, the living conditions are the worst. If this problem could not be addressed to in an adequate & timely manner serial deaths & associated health consequences will follow. Air pollution causes chronic & acute respiratory diseases, vantilatory malfunction, heart diseases, cancer of lungs due to Industrial Pollution by the heavy industries within the highly congested and prone areas of the town. All the three Mills like JCT Phagwara, Wahid & Sandher Sughar Mill Phagwara (Formerly Jagatjit Sugar Mill) and Sukhjit Starch & Chemical Industries Phagwara and number of industries of world repute are situated at the Prime and congested residential areas of Phagwara. Sirs, due to in adequate access to clean drinking water everybody of the town looks like a patient. Hargobind Nagar is the posh locality of the town developed by Improvement Trust. This colony had been developed for residential purpose. But now it has turned to a colony of Nursing Homes with the connivance of the officials. The hospital wastes being generated by the mushrooming growth of these Nursing Homes pose a special risk and has the potential to take epidemic form. I personally brought these civic issues in the knowledge of civic authorities but no action had been made so far. Kindly look in to the matter seriously for the lives of lakhs of people. I am confident that you will agree that resolving these problems are of great value. So, it is requested to you all to please to give prompt attention. Thanking you in advance for your help and cooperation. Rajneesh Madhok,

That has been forgotten long ago. >> >>At the start of the war, the government furiously rejected the idea >>of deploying an international force of any kind along the border. >>The army believed that such a force would not protect Israel, but >>only restrict its freedom of action. Now, suddenly, the deployment >>of this force has become the main aim of the campaign. >> >>The army is continuing the operation solely in >>order to "prepare the ground for the international force," and >>Olmert declares that he will go on fighting until it appears on the >>ground.

Demon Squirrel (Kinda long)? I never dreamed slowly cruising through a residential neighborhood could be so incredibly dangerous! Studies have shown that motorcycling requires more decisions per second and more sheer data processing than nearly any other common activity or sport. The reactions and accurate decision making abilities needed have been likened to the reactions of fighter pilots! The consequences of bad decisions or poor situational awareness are pretty much the same for both groups too. Occasionally, as a rider I have caught myself starting to make bad or late decisions while riding. In flight training, my instructors called this being "behind the power curve". It is a mark of experience that when this begins to happen, the rider recognizes the situation, and more importantly, does something about it. A short break, a meal, or even a gas stop can set things right again as it gives the brain a chance to catch up. Good, accurate, and timely decisions are essential when riding a motorcycle, at least if you want to remain among the living. In short, the brain needs to keep up with the machine. I had been banging around the roads of east Texas and as I headed back into Dallas, found myself in very heavy, high-speed traffic on the freeways. Normally, this is not a problem, I commute in these conditions daily, but suddenly I was nearly run down by a cage that decided it needed my lane more than I did. This is not normally a big deal either, as it happens around here often, but usually I can accurately predict which drivers are not paying attention and avoid them before we are even close. This one I missed seeing until it was nearly too late, and as I took evasive action I nearly broadsided another car that I was not even aware was there! Two bad decisions and insufficient situational awareness, all within seconds I was behind the power curve. Time to get off the freeway. I hit the next exit, and as I was in an area I knew pretty well, headed through a few big residential neighborhoods as a new route home. As I turned onto the nearly empty streets I opened the visor on my full-face helmet to help get some air. I figured some slow riding through the quiet surface streets would give me time to relax, think, and regain that "edge" so frequently required when riding. Little did I suspect... As I passed an oncoming car, a brown furry missile shot out from under it and tumbled to a stop immediately in front of me. It was a squirrel, and must have been trying to run across the road when it encountered the car. I really was not going very fast, but there was no time to brake or avoid it, it was that close. I hate to run over animals and I really hate it on a motorcycle, but a squirrel should pose no danger to me. I barely had time to brace for the impact. Animal lovers never fear. Squirrels can take care of themselves! Inches before impact, the squirrel flipped to his feet. He was standing on his hind legs and facing the oncoming Valkyrie with steadfast resolve in his little beady eyes. His mouth opened, and at the last possible second, he screamed and leapt! I am pretty sure the scream was squirrel for, "Banzai!" or maybe, "Die you gravy-sucking, heathen scum!" as the leap was spectacular and he flew over the windshield and impacted me squarely in the chest. Instantly he set upon me. If I did not know better I would have sworn he brought twenty of his little buddies along for the attack. Snarling, hissing, and tearing at my clothes, he was a frenzy of activity. As I was dressed only in a light t-shirt, summer riding gloves, and jeans this was a bit of a cause for concern. This furry little tornado was doing some damage! Picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, and leather gloves puttering maybe 25mph down a quiet residential street and in the fight of his life with a squirrel. And losing. I grabbed for him with my left hand and managed to snag his tail. With all my strength I flung the evil rodent off the left of the bike, almost running into the right curb as I recoiled from the throw. That should have done it. The matter should have ended right there. It really should have. The squirrel could have sailed into one of the pristinely kept yards and gone on about his business, and I could have headed home. No one would have been the wiser. But this was no ordinary squirrel. This was not even an ordinary pissed-off squirrel. This was an evil attack squirrel of death! Somehow he caught my gloved finger with one of his little hands, and with the force of the throw swung around and with a resounding thump and an amazing impact he landed square on my back and resumed his rather anti-social and extremely distracting activities. He also managed to take my left glove with him! The situation was not improved. Not improved at all. His attacks were continuing, and now I could not reach him. I was startled to say the least. The combination of the force of the throw, only having one hand (the throttle hand) on the handlebars, and my jerking back unfortunately put a healthy twist through my right hand and into the throttle. A healthy twist on the throttle of a Valkyrie can only have one result. Torque. This is what the Valkyrie is made for, and she is very, very good at it. The engine roared as the front wheel left the pavement. The squirrel screamed in anger. The Valkyrie screamed in ecstasy. I screamed in? Well just plain screamed. Now picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a slightly squirrel torn t-shirt, and only one leather glove roaring at maybe 70mph and rapidly accelerating down a quiet residential street on one wheel and with a demonic squirrel on his back. The man and the squirrel are both screaming bloody murder. With the sudden acceleration I was forced to put my other hand back on the handlebars and try to get control of the bike. This was leaving the mutant squirrel to his own devices, but I really did not want to crash into somebody's tree, house, or parked car. Also, I had not yet figured out how to release the throttle; my brain was just simply overloaded. I did manage to mash the back brake, but it had little effect against the massive power of the big cruiser. About this time the squirrel decided that I was not paying sufficient attention to this very serious battle (maybe he is a Scottish attack squirrel of death), and he came around my neck and got IN my full- face helmet with me. As the faceplate closed partway and he began hissing in my face I am quite sure my screaming changed tone and intensity. It seemed to have little effect on the squirrel however. The rpm's on The Dragon maxed out (I was not concerned about shifting at the moment) and her front end started to drop. Now picture the large man on the huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a very ragged torn t-shirt, and wearing one leather glove roaring at probably 80mph, still on one wheel, with a large puffy squirrel s tail sticking out his mostly closed full-face helmet. By now the screams are probably getting a little hoarse. Finally I got the upper hand I managed to grab his tail again, pulled him out of my helmet, and slung him to the left as hard as I could. This time it worked sort-of. Spectacularly sort-of, so to speak. Picture the scene. You are a cop. You and your partner have pulled off on a quiet residential street and parked with your windows down to do some paperwork. Suddenly a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser dressed in jeans, a torn t-shirt flapping in the breeze, and wearing one leather glove, moving at probably 80mph on one wheel, and screaming bloody murder roars by and with all his strength throws a live squirrel grenade directly into your police car. I heard screams. They weren't mine... I managed to get the big motorcycle under directional control and dropped the front wheel to the ground. I then used maximum braking and skidded to a stop in a cloud of tire smoke at the stop sign at a busy cross street. I would have returned to fess up (and to get my glove back). I really would have. Really. But for two things. First, the cops did not seem interested or the slightest bit concerned about me at the moment. One of them was on his back in the front yard of the house they had been parked in front of and was rapidly crabbing backwards away from the patrol car. The other was standing in the street and was training a riot shotgun on the police cruiser. So the cops were not interested in me. They often insist to "let the professionals handle it" anyway. That was one thing. The other? Well, I swear I could see the squirrel, standing in the back window of the patrol car among shredded and flying pieces of foam and upholstery, and shaking his little fist at me. I think he was shooting me the finger! That is one dangerous squirrel. And now he has a patrol car! I took a deep breath, turned on my turn-signal, made an easy right turn, and sedately left the neighborhood. As for my easy and slow drive home? Screw it. Faced with choice of 80mph cars and inattentive drivers, or the evil, demonic, attack squirrel of death...I'll take my chances with the freeway. Every time. And I'll buy myself a new pair of gloves.
