sdubbs asked:


I moved into a house at the end of last year which has a conservatory, however, with no heating. We have finally go it cleared and want to start using it but it is freezing! Having a look for a portable heater I am not sure which would be the best.
The conservatory is not that big and I think it has a poly carbonate roof.

Ford Taurus heater has been having probs in the winter. It gets below zero and it blows warm air, then cold air. Does it pay to just replace the heater core? If the heater core is replaced will the heat work better, or should I not bother? What is the cost of a Ford Heater Core for NY state? How many hours does it take to replace the heater core?
I maintain my car, and bring it to a Ford dealership. The last time they looked at it, one Ford Dealership told me I need a new heater core, the second Ford place told me they can clean it, and see. Well they cleaned it out, and flushed it, charged me a little over $125, that was last Nov. In the summer they checked all my fluids, and said it was fine. I don’t know if I should just let them replace it, or what, since it is labor costlly, but better be safe than sorry. They estimated it about $650,plus tax, is this a lot?

What is causing my water heater to not supply hot water?

anonymous asked:


I live in an apartment building. Each unit has a very compact water heater but every morning I wake up to shower and the hot water is gone after 1-2 minutes. That means in the middle of winter the I’m stuck showering in freezing cold water. I think this is just ridiculous that the apartment management has not supplied its residents with sufficient water heaters to supply hot water in the winter season. What should I do?

I am looking into pruchasing a tankless water heater but do not want to pay more to operate it than the tank i have now. I know my tank runs on 1000 btu’s and most tankless heaters run at about 10 thousand. Is it worth it to switch over?
