[MBZ] OT - Pipe from ground

<< Did the house ever have a septic system, or water storage tank? >> The house was originally built with a septic tank. It still has a well, but never a cistern or water storage tank. No matter if someone wanted to vent fuel vapors, or septic tank gas, a 1 inch size pipe would make no sense.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Pipe from ground

I appreciate everybody’s input and advice. The mystery pipe actually measures ~1-3/8 inch diameter. That means it is only a 1-inch pipe. I’m certain the pipe is not associated with an underground fuel tank. When I bought it in 1981, the 26 year old house still had the original fuel oil

Just for grins, have you tried cycling the circuit breakers? There should be two 2-pole breakers (one for air handler and one for condenser). When I returned about noon one day my new Carrier heat pump was making a loud banging noise and was not producing heat. Cycling the breaker fixed it.

Re: [MBZ] The rental house AC

Sounds like the repair guts didn't really troubleshoot so the fix will take several return trips until they finally replace the right part(s). Often, the same capacitor (dual unit) supports the fan and compressor and capacitors do fail. Fan motor failure is not unusual after, maybe, 10 years

Re: [MBZ] The rental house AC

They said they were ordering a new one from Trane. Hopefully that is what happens. I’m still wondering if the fan quit working and it burned up the compressor. You would think they would habe checked that because it’s not like compressor kicks on then shuts off later if pressure gets too high.

Re: [MBZ] The rental house AC

The fan not coming on won't stop the compressor from coming on. If there's a high pressure switch, it'll hopefully stop the compressor from getting fried. Did it just happen? Seems like the tenants would have been throwing a fit if the AC didn't work when they were still there.

Re: [MBZ] The rental house AC

Make sure they replace it with a real fan and not a cheapo "rescue" motor. I was away once and the fan motor went out (this is the condenser cooling fan) and the guy came and put in a new one, was like $500, my wife paid him.  Fan goes out again less than a year later, I call the guy, he

It'd probably cost me $300-400 to have that bumper painted, so $457 with paint is acceptable to me, if it's painted well and with good materials and flex agents. $155 is a bit steep for shipping from ChiTown, normally I'd just go get it myself but not in the summer of peaceful riots. Mitch.
