Well ****! Maybe a one and done for winter?
So, the guy that babysits our home when gone called tonight saying the thermostat was dead and getting colder.
He did some over the phone troubleshooting with no success.
I called the emergency number of the company that installed the heat pump a few years ago.
Tech came out and found this abomination.
The original installer used wire nuts not properly applied during the installation when split nuts should have been the proper method of connection
As anyone knowledgeable in wire connections knows, this was not a proper connection.
The evidence of a good connection is evident by the fact the wire nuts didn't twist the wires. Wrong connector.
Those are Ideal wire nuts. I went through a training class for proper wire nut installation by that company.
The tech coming out used split connectors that is the proper method for connecting wiring of that amperage.

It was a bit airish yesterday, and also this morning. Seems winter is just around the corner.
The guy babysitting your home needs a raise or a big tip!!
worst in E and SE, but GFS model has been showing that for nearly two weeks now, also hinting now at a swath across the state out around the 20-21 timeframe, but that is way on out on a computer model and subject to much change...persistant dome of high pressure where assuming that means it's airish and staying airish for a while.
With a heat pump, the house may even be getting warm by now...warmer, anyhow...
Anything over 9 days is SWAG—scientific wild-arsed guessing. Beyond 9 days you have to take solar output into account, and, last I checked, we didn’t have anything that could reliably do that.
Anything over three days is a SWAG, but they do have a decent degree of accuracy, and provide an early warning system for generalities, if not exact tracks or details. This system this Thurs/Fri has been showing on the GFS for two weeks, ditto the one just past, and was quite good much of the time in nearly two weeks of showing hurricanes and generally where bound. But, by all means blow it off as just guesswork if it floats your boat...but when a model consistantly shows something run to run for two weeks out, it something to think about.
Was 19 degrees this morning just before sunrise but the wind has died down a great deal with sun shining but im still staying indoors as much as possible did have to get out this morning to take kid to school since wife is still under the weather, roads were clear and dry.
