A technology nut at heart, I'm always interested in what makes our lives easier and helps us tick day to day. Whether Home Automation, toys, games (board and video) or everything in between, I'm always looking around the corner to see what drives us in today's day and age.

  1. We bought a house 2 years ago, the furnace was replaced 9 years ago. Started having issues, first heat season. Technician came out we replaced the gas valve. Started doing it agaonweeks later but the owner of the hvac repair company retired. Had to call someone else, turns out they had the jumper on the furnace to run in single stage but our thermostat was set as two stage (it was a two stage furnace)

    We ended up replacing the furnace as the heat exchanger had a hole in it, likely because they were running it in the wrong mode for 9 years and almost never changed the filter.

    Remember to change your filter people!

    • Hey Kyle – Yikes! That sounds like quite the ordeal! I don’t know what people out there use as telltale signs to change the filter. I never used to a reminder pre-smartphone app. You know how I used to tell? My old furnace would start blowing really lukewarm or cold air. That was typically my 3 month reminder that I needed a new filter.

      I’ll just use technology and rely on the Nest App to remind me in its recurring cycle to change the filter.
