This is getting off into other areas that weren't even a concern when I posted. All I know is that we get flickering lights when the AC starts, but not when the wind blows, so it's not loose...

PJMAX, I'm thinking it's a great idea. What could work better for inductive loads like a compressor motor, than a zero-crossing switch? No spikes!

Zero Crossing Switch for Central AC Compressor?

Has anyone had any success with installing a Zero Crossing Switch in a Central AC Compressor?

I'm asking because, when ours turns on, it throws a huge power spike throughout the house and flickers...

Ok, well it looks like we've been all over this and I didn't remember. I'll have to find something on my own, or just get a tabletop unit and haul water to it every day. Thanks.

So could someone recommend a good through-the wall humidifier that can hook up to the same 1/4" water line and...

Thanks PJ. The solenoid coil isn't the problem. When it's off, no water passes, but when it's on, it barely dribbles. I took out the orfice and plastic filter and it didn't change that.

Better replacement for Aprilaire 4191 solenoid valve, or entire 360 humidifier?

We're in Denver, which is pretty dry - classified as semi-arid, and bought this Aprilaire 360 when we got this house, in 2005. It's a through-the-wall humidifier, that goes between the laundry room...

Are latch plates supposed to stick out so far that they cut my arm?

This is a IRC modular house, that we had put on our lot in 2004. The latch plates stick out so far from the wood, that they keep cutting my arm as I walk by them. Are they supposed to stick out that...

Well I found out something tonight. There's also been a water leak in the cabinet, when raining and/or snowing. Sometimes enough water to leak into the laundry room or hall!

Gas forced air furnace in modular home - taking long time to start up

This is a different kind of gas forced air furnace, because it's in a modular home, and there's apparently no way to do any yearly maintenance on these, from what we've been told.

So I just...
