PRO ADVICE PLEASE!

I'm a Las Vegas homeowner that just had a new unit installed and the rooftop installation looks almost identical to this guys:...

damper placement

Was reading on the Honeywell "Zoning system design manual" They suggest putting zone dampers at least 3 feet from the plenum. Wondering if this is...

York system starts intermittently

Hi All, I have a 14 year old York system that will only start occasionally. Actually, I'm starting to believe it is haunted, and only starts when it feels like it. The unit is located in the attic, and each time it attempts to start it sounds normal, but then shuts back down before it can start blowing heat. I first noticed this a couple of weeks ago, but when I flipped the power to the furnace off and back on again it fired back up like normal. This problem has been happening every couple of days, but pulling the batteries from the thermostat would quickly rectify the problem. The problem suddenly became much worse two days ago, and now I can only get it to start once or twice per day. I have climbed into the attic and watched as the ignitor fires and the gas is ignited, it then sits there for a few seconds and then shuts back down. It kind of seems like the blower just doesn't start. However, the fan will start when switched on at the thermostat. Here's the quick list of things I have tested and/or been able to confirm:

Need a T-stat that work in 1 degree difference

Happy New Year all! Ok, I've searched all over so here I am. I have a new construction home, Rhuud heat pump with 5 KW heat strip installed. My issue is, I have a Honeywell TH8000 that will only turn on heat strips if there is a 2 degree difference, meaning I have to crank it up to 74 to get it to turn on. And then when it does, wont turn off until 75, to hot. Right now, the HP can only get to 72 on a cold day by itself. It cant break 72 without the strips.

Setback at night

Trying to get some expert opinions on setback at night, live in minnesota have an air source heat pump with propane backup. When temps are warm...

Refrigerated Pie Case

In my service area, one rarely sees a "refrigerated pie case". Last time I worked on one, it was 15+ yrs ago. Other than the merchandizing aspect...

Help me figure out why every receptacle in the circuit is dead

First of all, even though I'm not an electrician, I run a home automation, home A/V, etc integration company and did all the electrical for about 150 new fixtures and the entire automation system in my own house, so I'm definitely not a newbie. And my house is for all intents and purposes brand new (it was built in 2010 and sold to us in Sept 2011, and the room I'm having an issue with has been essentially unused since the purchase). Therefore I'd figure there wouldn't be any major wiring problems, and any problems that did exist I'd be able to solve pretty quickly...which is why I'm tearing my hair out over this. Hopefully you guys can offer me a new perspective because I'm out of ideas. So anyway this is the problem: There are five receptacles in the formal living room of the house, and none of them are receiving power. In addition, the outdoor GFCI on the covered porch which shares a wall with the living room also is not receiving power (and so obviously it won't reset). Further info/troubleshooting I've already performed: - The receptacles in the interior three rooms that share a wall with the living room all work fine, and the other outdoor GFCIs work fine as well. -The lights are receiving power in the living room, which isn't surprising since the entire house seems to keep the lights for any given zone on a separate circuit from the receptacles in the same zone (but I just finished installing additional lighting and replacing the rest of the fixtures in the room, and as I was doing that I discovered that the line from the wall switch to the chandelier had been illegally spliced inside the wall about a foot up from the junction box (the splice wasn't in a junction box), and broke loose as I was running new lines, so I wouldn't be surprised if something similar is happening with the outlets).
