oil to GAS

Greg,

My Lux brand thermostat had the equivalent of a heat anticipator. As a matter of fact I have a Honeywell brand thermostat controlling my air-conditioner, in my new place. I found it to be unintuitive and went and bought a Lux as I had before when I had my house.

Fascinating ot me is that in my area when a home is inhabited it's at 68*F (20*C)to 72*F (22.2*C). I see that in New England there seems to be a pattern of keeping it lower.

I once spent a long weekend in a home that was kept at 55*F (12.8*C) all day and all night. By the end of three days I had gotten used to it and my home, at 70*F (21.1*C), felt like an oven.

hey gregm,
What is that machine next to the Frigidaire front load machine.

 

[gregm]

machine next to frigidaire ...

Thats a Norge 70's coin-op commercial 20 lb front loader bolted to the floor. Its great for pillows, rugs, comforters and other large or bulky items that cannot or should not be washed in a traditional top loader.

very nice machine!! I have never seen one of those. A Front loader by Norge? Does it run on standard 110V? What is the cycle time? Does it have a gravity drain?

 

[gregm]

answer your ques ... ...

A Front loader by Norge? YES, I am not sure if its a "badge" name by them or actually made by them.

Does it run on standard 110V? I think its 120v but yes standard plug with ground

What is the cycle time? I think the wash time is 10-12 minutes? then it does a spray rinse, goes into higher speed for half a minute, another spray rinse (drain pump running this whole time), 30 sec higher speed and then TWO fill and rinse, it probably uses the most water during the extended spray rinse(s). Then an even higher final speed extract for five min.

Does it have a gravity drain? No, a pump.

 

[supremewhirlpol]

Very interesting!! Does anyone know how rare those are?

Greg,

In Massachusetts I have seen a thermal sensor near oil burners in the ceiling that cuts power should the room temperature get up too high (FIRE!) does you new gas boiler have this as well?

[gregm]

NOPE !! I do know exactly what your talking about and this does have an internal sensor should the boiler get to "hot" it shuts down ... ...
