Who Can Install A Chimney Liner?
Contractor quotes do not cease to amuse me. I have had several quotes for installing a liner in my chimney and connecting it to a fireplace insert. I provide both. Each contractor described it as a piece of cake: "We attach it at the top of the chimney, cap it, seal it, drop it down and then connect it at the bottom." So how much is it going to cost me? The quotes ranged from $950-$1800. I've been calling professional chimney repairers and stone guys. So, obviously, these guys don't want the job. Who else can reliably do this kind of job? Obviously, I want someone insured and bonded.
Answer:
and when you try what I told you, you just might begin to get a clue. Its not going to evaporate any better with hot water. Hell, by the time your so called hot water hits the distribution tray at the top of your humidifier its already cooled down to nothing. Oh thats right. You're one of those freaking mindless EE that thinks they know everything about everything but cant even figure out why their furnace doesnt work until one of those guys that needs a (how did you put it?) "gets a GED", comes over and charges them $100 to change their dirty filter. You probably put pieces of copper in your outdoor disconnect for your air conditioner too thinking you'll save money. Heres a quarter, trader. Go buy a vowel. All of our flow-through units can be connected to hot or cold water. Hot water increases the evaporative capacity of your humidifer, provides more humidity to the home and offers more flexibility in the operation of the humidifier. Some of our units can use hot air and cold water. All humidifiers need some source of heat for evaporation to take place whether it is hot water or hot air. We would recommend that if our power units are installed on the return ductwork, that they be connected to hot water, as this is their only heat source. Heat pumps and large capacity installations need hot water. Heat pumps are not hot enough for evaporation and some larger installations need maximum capacity so they will need to use both hot air and hot water. The Model 400 should be connected to cold water due to the wicking Water Panel as it cannot be guaranteed that the water will stay hot while waiting for the next heat call on the Water Panel. With any drain-though Aprilaire Humidifier connected to hot water, the heat in the water is used in the evaporation process and the water coming out of the drain will be cold to the touch."
