When I turned it to AC yesterday the compressor stated instantly, the fan came on but there was little or no air flow from the air registers. The outflow ducts were cold...

    Cat Eating Problem.

My 13 year old fixed female cat suddenly developed a eating problem, normally a half can of wet food and some dry food was enough, but now she eats two cans a day, plus dry food and looks for more. She's not...

    AC Question

    Hi, question/problem. The compressor runs and the duct get cold but the fan doesn't seem to push air, it appears to be running backwards, is that possible, maybe it's stuck in start? My guess is the start cap is bad. It's a Bryant central AC system connected to a Bryant upflow gas furnace...

    Computer Memory Question

When I charge NiCad battery packs what would I expect for a temperature rise over ambient when they are charged? I'm using a digital in/out temp unit with the outdoor probe pushed under the NiCad pack shrink...

    ANTI-VIRUS Question

    Today I went to Wally-World to buy another Norton System Works with Anti-Virus and noticed another AV program called Defender Pro 5 in 1.

    House Electric Question

    In a house with 2 conductor wiring can you legally (NEC) install 3 terminal outlets if you add a jumper from the neutral side of the outlet to the ground terminal? The jumper would be solid conductor and the same size as the 2 conductor wiring and obviously inside the outlet box. Thanks, Ken
