They checked every fitting and still leaked. When all quiet he could hear a slight noise. Cut hole in drywall and ran his fingers down the pipe. Drywall screw thru drywall support bracket into pipe.

"Then just try bonding the grounding terminal to the neutral at the generator - even temporarily as a troubleshooting measure". So, we did that and the fan turned on, but then there was this click click noise? And then the burners lit up. And a little later there was warm air coming out our vents. Color us happy! Thanks again for your help on this. Pulled off the panel holding the outlets on the generator and right on the back side there was a hole to push the jumper in and a screw right next to it to complete the bonding. Piece of cake.

No AC here, just the blower and the blower starts no problem. I'll get back to you once I, if I, can figure it out. Thanks a bunch for all your insight.

Thanks for the replies everyone. You all still rock!

This is how it is advertised by Honda Honda EU1000i - 900 Watt Portable Inverter Generator w/ CO-MINDER™ (CARB) Extension cord connection only. My furnace installer friend has his furnace, same as mine, connected to a standard generator, when our power goes out.

It's portable eu1000i Honda. Should I run a ground wire from it's internal metal frame to house ground rod, or to metal frame of the furnace?

Just read some furnaces don't work with inverter supplied power.

Rheem sent me to an online that was going to cost. Which I didn't try. Been told it's a polarity issue that somehow relates to grounding. Very new 95+ and full of computerish hardware. I have no warranty on this rig, but I think it's not it's fault. Heater installer has large output generator at his house wired into service panel for his same as mine furnace. Mine runs fine on house electric.

Ignition no start. Could be something about generator not grounded. If so, wondering about proper way to ground a small generator to the furnace?

Thanks for the replay Marc I plug it into the 3 prong outlet of the generator the same way I did with the 80.

Have a new 95+ Rheem heater. When the power is out, and on a generator, only the fan will come on, but burners won't light. My old 80% would light up no problem. Any ideas?

I know, where the hell have I been? Hiking, biking, kayaking, skiing, breaking a bone here and there, and just finished up some Covid. Speaking of which, if you realize early that you have it then take the paxlovid. In regards to what to charge. When I started in 2006 I came in with the I'm going to point out all the problems to my clients. I live in a community that is around 135k population for the county, and 140 miles from the closest large city. What I found this to mean is that the Realtors own it. General population didn't know the difference between a HI and an appraiser. There were two local inspectors that got into the biz during the housing booms of the 90's. I joined CREIA, who always emphasized list all the problems and keep your rates high. The two (CREIA) inspectors had low rates. They spent anywhere from 1 to 1.5 hrs inspecting a house. I'd go to our once a month meeting and they would be hi fiving themselves about having 3 or more inspections a day. The Realtors wanted to only hear about the problems they might get sued for. These guys were there to help them sell the house. The Realtors don't want to sit around more than an hour or so while they text their friends waiting for you to get done. I was always like a 3hr and up guy, stupid me. I was previously downsized out of a claims adjusting job and now had a $750 retirement at 53yrs old. Everything was paid off, lucky me. I didn't clear more than $3300 per year for 6 years. Took that long to get enough clients to produce enough referrals. If you want to not sell your house just get me to look at it. After dealing with 20+ Realtors I'm sure I was blacklisted. My last two years, out of the 10, I was regarded as the best HI in out county per the local main newspaper that asked for the community vote. I finally made it to where I wanted to back down to, income/work hrs, when I was going to retire from HI, ha, so I did. And that was clearing a little over $30k per year. We/I had a lot of 401k and a few other deals, so it all came together just before I turned 65. So, if your all about making big bucks in a Realtor owned area, start sucking up. As the Realtor is explaining the sells contract and they come to the portion regarding do you want a HI, clients will say "what's that" followed by who do you recommend. Other than income, HI was the best job I ever had. At the site the Realtors that hated me would be so nice, "Hi Denny, how's it going". The owner would offer cookies and coffee and be very nice, usually, ha. My client was very happy with me the whole way thru. Client's Realtor was nice. And I got paid right when I was done looking at the house. Report always showed up by the next day.

Trying to find why there's a leak around my dads Toto seat toilet. Touched the metal.braided supply line and it.was hot. Touched it again and for some reason it shocked me again. Whoda thunk? Their bells and whistles are cord connected to an outlet. 19 years old.

No worries about bad stuff growing in it during long term shut off?

If I'm out of town for 2 weeks is it OK to just turn the WH off for that period? Any yuck to worry about? How bout if I'm gone for 2 months? Tank need to be emptied to prevent yuck?
