A mouse got into our furnace and ****ed up the blower fan pretty good. Called the guy, who didn't believe me that the blower fan went out. Naturally, he didn't have any in stock, because they never fail ( ). Took a week to get a new one in. Oh, and this all happened in January, during the coldest winter in years.

$2,400 later, I’m guessing I owned a new, $500 water heater but I had hot water again. |

Didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night but I'm pretty sure low ozone levels allowing ultraviolet radiation through to the surface of the planet has nothing to do with atmospheric temperatures. It's more of a skin cancer thing.

The coil is $320. I do it twice and still come out ahead. Complication: The coil can't be delivered until August 17th. |

*Refrigerant.
Freon® is a brand name from DuPont for what is inside cans and drums = refrigerant, notably; dichlorodifluoromethane and chlorodifluoromethane (12 and 22). *Solder is low heat with silver based materials. Brazing is higher heat with copper based materials (mixed with silver) I suggest aero uses soldering so he don't burn his house down, or melt copper pipes into ingots while attempting to braze. |

Propane is also classified as a refrigerant, Aero should use that. Makes finding a leak with a match real easy. Then he'll know right where to solder.

I also considered hacking at it and if it doesn't work, I'll call a repair company and tell them the last guy that worked on it left it that way and walked off the job. (No need to know that I was the last guy that worked on it). |
