Good repartee, Lindajoy, he deserves a few more, but no more are coming, unfortunately.

That is the quality of our readership, some call him KYLE, affectionately, huh?

No... If you read further you'll see my reply concerning the meme

You know me better than that


We don't know you better than that, what a narcissistic statement on your part, Canuckus, shame on you.

The Electric Company is charging people that use less power more money don't ask me how but they are I read a article about while back . If you can figure your bill out good luck I've called them here and been upset with at least year an they can't even explain it . I think they could got raise to who knows . My bill has three different charges ( or prices ) on it an lot the service charges besides with

taxes . So got on budget and after three months it's been running at least 30 bucks higher or more than budget don't make sense even with water heater off . I did just install a new 4500 watt 50 gal water heater High Efficiency post save 73% ( energy star ) with heat pump on it an cost $113 year to run an save you $3000. in 10 years can run 4 different ways Efficiency mode, Elements mode, Hybrid mode , Vacation mode . Has copper elements ceramic fuse tank I forget the UF factor but was higher than suggested rating an best part was got a $350. Rebate check from power company . Your water heater normally percent is 15-20% of electric bill possible High as 30% gas is cheaper now . I wanted to go back to gas an have Tank Less gas water heater but they were way to high on installation cost for me get return on an guy was going give me best deal never showed but a good unit is only around $1200. Navien .
If you have a bad element and your electric water heater it can cause it not to work right and use more energy and also not work at all an if it's limed up you could have weak breaker to . I h**e plumbing this my 4th one here an sence it was higher tec an needed a Pipe Fitter on most hybrid heat pump water heaters the water outlets are on the side instead of the top there are very few that are in top would have made it lot easier but that prices & warranty's sucked . Good luck it's a big hassle trying find a honest plumber or anything now can trust did me anyway.

Cool... Didn't know that... Where was she??

Hope she enjoyed her time


I'm not sure where in China she was, Kyle, but I will find out. She lives in Chicago now and teaches in a school that is in a not-so-good area. I think she prefers China but all of her relatives, Mother,Father,sisters etc are in Chicago. I'll see what I can find out about her experience and get back with you.

Indeed it IS supposed to be high efficiency AND it isn't installed in a very large area, maybe 1200 sq feet. The issue with having it checked is that I seriously doubt the installer was licensed or certified, tends to void warranties. I do believe that it was said that the heat was fine and no issues reported for cold/hot spots, just astronomical power bills and the unit failed within two years so...

As for bending conduit and attaching leads, yeah, it is all fairly simple, the more difficult part is "designing" the circuits and balancing the loads. you have to anticipate what loads might be expected in certain areas and plot out how many, where and what types of outlets, switches and fixtures to "design" into the plans. Anybody pretty much can attach the black to the hot side, the white to the neutral side and the green/bare to the ground screw. of course then you have 220, typical 4 lead 220 would be red-hot, black-hot, white-neutral and green/bare-ground. How he managed to mess up the heater install, supposing of course that he made a mistake, I couldn't tell you, I have been avoiding sticking my nose into that install for obvious reasons.



As for the field being "dangerous", yeah, I have been bitten a time or two, one good one I recall:


Me: And you are positive that was the breaker for the outlets near the bathroom sink?

Motel owner: Yes.

Me: *plugs in a handy test lamp - doesn't light* (should have not been so lazy and gone to my vehicle for multi-meter, like THEY have never failed me...) Okay. awesome, I will have that broken outlet replaced in a "jiffy".

About 5 minutes pass and the uncooperative stiff wires not permitting me to "shove" it all back into the box are starting to frustrate me and I am sweating bullets due to the summer heat. I temporarily forget my common sense and grab the outlet on both sides rather than the two ends like I always grab them and many a choice word later and motel owner apologizing profusely... Between his fits of laughter... I get outlet back into box and am mad as hell at the motel owner, and myself, for my... Enlightening experience...

Yeah, I know not of the "dangers" of which you speak.



As for my place... Nah, the heat is doin' alright... I do have some electrical issues that I will get to... Eventually... Nothing real major, just minor issues, and a very much lower heating bill than that poor woman that can't even use her brand new, less than two year old furnace. She has tried to hint that I could take a look at it but... Let's just say that I ain't none to fond of the color scheme under them buses... I prefer NOT gettin' thrown under one.
Indeed it IS supposed to be high efficiency AND it... (show quote)


I’m not laughing at you but with you in your mishap... No fun for sure!! I get ticked just for the little zap you get from walking across a carpet, touching something and feel that little zappooo of static electricity!!! No thank you to more...Don’t blame you one bit not wanting to venture into that install more...

Glad yours is working well..! I hope that installer that worked on the ladies heater isn't doing much in that field, sounds like he could cause more harm than good?

Stay safe!! Warm too~~

I have a photo almost exactly like that one that I took off my back deck when I lived in Indiana. Only a hundred miles from Chicago. Now I live in Michigan and we see it here too. When you live in a place as beautiful as Colorado, where do you go for vacations?

Long story short

Canada sent me to northern China to scope out the hockey scene... I was sending back valuable puck related information when the Chicoms caught on to me...

Instead of sending me to a forced labor camp to make cheap crap for Walmart, they turned me into a double agent... All it took was the sweet love of slanty eyed China doll with a great ass (although beer costing $0.50 was a good incentive too)..

It wasn't long before my handlers realized Canada was completely useless... So instead they turned me loose on America's premier forum - One Political Plaza...

Now here I am interfering in American politics at the highest level

Honestly, I think I should get at least 50% of the credit for Trump losing the e******n... My constant warnings concerning the Wuflu were obviously reverse psychology at its finest
