re: HVAC question
Posted by UPGDude on 6/1/24 at 4:29 pm
If you go with R410 it would be no problem and service parts will still be available for a while. We can't manufacture any units after 1/1/25 but there's a 1-year sell down for distributors so they aren't stuck with stranded inventory. It's just that the refrigerant (R410)will cost you more these da...

[quote]You heard anything to that effect?[/quote]
Not at this point. We are certainly pushing for the 1/1/25 but the listing agencies are still not all in agreement (UL, CSA, ETL, etc). So it's kind of a cluster. But the EPA is still holding to the date. ...

Propane (R290 - GWP = 3) is coming in the future to get to the EPA mandate of a lower single digit GWP. Just not soon. So it’s R454 (GWP = 48...

[quote]The new refrigerant will be 454B and its propane-based.[/quote]
No it's not. R454B is a mixture of R32 and R1234YF. No propane in this mix. Some manufacturers are going with R32 but most are going with R454B.
In the future you may see R290 (propane) but that won't be anytime soon. Manuf...

re: Who were some of the bands that smoothed the transition from hair metal to grunge?
Posted by UPGDude on 5/22/24 at 9:51 pm
Sub Pop - the label.
Malfunkson, Green River, Mudhoney all took the Seattle Underground Punk scene and with Mother Love Bone, Soundgarden, Nirvana, AIC . etc...It became Grunge. I was reading an article that spoke about how the bands hated being called Grunge music but they said what are you goi...

My wife(no pics) and I spent a couple months in Houston. We went to Truths two weeks ago. We also went to Kileens (right by Truths), Goode Co, Pit Room, and Papas.

re: Hoses and Hose Reels - Eley? Or other brands to consider?
Posted by UPGDude on 5/12/24 at 5:23 pm
We have Eley hose reels on both sides of the house. One of them started leaking ( i guess it was this winters freeze) so I called them to report it. She sent a replacement for the leaking one right away and sent another for the other side of the house just in case. Great customer service as well. ...
