Granted if they can't detect a power outage, then they are useless. I knew they would fuck with it if it was easy to fuck with. If they have to go there and walk around back and manually change it , they will leave it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how people get sucked into all that shit just because it's something new and techy. Fuck that exactly. Smart stats are pretty handy when you aren't home to respond to a heating system issue during winter. Yesterday morning about 6am my Ecobee smart stat sent me a text. It read: “System Alert. Check your boiler, your main floor has been calling for heat for 1 hour with no rise in room temperature” I head to the boiler room and sure enough the plc is in fault. It wont advance past the “pressure switch” step and the combustion blower motor is barely spinning. I had a spare blower motor on hand. Swapped it out and the old Weil McClain fired right up and began heating the house again. The ecobee smart stats are pretty incredible with dozens of cool useful features. They work just fine when the wifi is out. They monitor local weather and can be set up with several useful alarms and alerts to notify you when something is not right. I had Honeywell smart stats before these but was never happy with them. I replaced all 4 of my honeywell smart stats with these ecobees a little more than 3 years ago. Not a single tstat related system problem in that time. Ive been notified of system problems several times since i installed them. We are away from home 6 months out of the year. I couldn't feel comfortable being away from home that much without all the features of my smart home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin george Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 The guy that owned the house before had the programmable stats put in and we took them all out and installed manual dial ones. The house has in floor heat and the idiot had set them to shut down and start up at different times. We set the dial and leave it and the system does it's thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your standard nest/ Honeywell doesn't incorporate the floor sensor so they can only operate wide open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him this is a golden opportunity for him and he is now in control of his future and he is very lucky. I don't think he realizes yet how huge this is for him. He's starting him out at $14 and is paying for all if his schooling and tools. The good thing about that field is in a few years of working for someone he can open his own shop. I have several buddies in the field who live pretty damm well. Good for him congratulations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell !! We"ve been here 5.5 years and got rid of the big hot water tank that was being used and installed the boiler. The water tank wasn't efficient on propane and we've drastically reduced our consumption. We have four zones on the control box and rarely all four are on at the same time and the boiler keeps up quite well. We have a separate 40gal hot water tank on a timer that does the trick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fancy 500 dollar thermostat crapped out this fall, and now I am left wondering why I bought a high tech computer controlled furnace. The old one was only 6% less efficient and worked fine. wait til you replace the blower motor...………………………….. On 12/20/2019 at 11:23 AM, irv said: Are you seeing Daikin's failing already? I was torn between a Trane and a Daikin but took the latter based on 2 more yrs of warranty. Our new Daikin thermo has been less than stellar as well. It has a 1 degree temp differential where most have a 1/2 or none at all. Numerous complaints to service men have gotten us nowhere but that is partly my fault for not pushing the issue. Touch wood, but so far our Daikin furnace and A/C units have been working great for 3+ years now. Daikin is Goodman. Goodman is crap. On 12/20/2019 at 3:25 PM, frenchy said: you're a fucking retard.

Add in the carbon tax, red tape, and a whole host of others costs, and people wonder why they're leaving? If I didn't know any better, I'd say the liberals are purposely trying to push businesses out of Ontario and the rest of Canada. How much has that increased since Ford took over? How much of the increase was the carbon tax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
