Warning: Juno 2015 Blizzard
A.J. LeBlanc Heating would like to remind everyone the importance of clearing all vent pipes exiting your home. Blocked vents can lead to exhaust buildup which can cause carbon monoxide leaks and increase the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or death. Clearing exhaust vents is especially important for homeowners who have direct vent gas appliances. Juno has left some areas with significant snowfall, and it is very likely that your exhaust vents are covered or close to it. We suggest shoveling the area around your vents as much as possible especially considering the additional snow expected on Friday January 30th.
Generator Education
Every generator installation is unique. Local laws, load requirements, available fuels, and design implications all play a role in generator sizing and location. A.J. LeBlanc Heating sizes our standby generators based on the needs of the homeowner. Not all homeowners require a generator that can run every light and appliance during the few instances where power is lost.
Nest Thermostat Issues
Dead Nest? The Nest thermostat has an internal battery which can usually be charged by the 24v heating and cooling wires coming from your homes HVAC system. Problems arise when there are too many components borrowing from the same power source. The Nest learning thermostat is a power stealing thermostat which can cause system malfunction or improper system operation. The solution is to add what is known as a common wire, this wire is a separate 24 volt supply dedicated to charging your Nest thermostat. Although Nest claims this wire is not necessary with all installations A.J. LeBlanc Heating would highly recommend it to anyone using any smart thermostat. Installing a common wire can range in difficulty - if the thermostat wires are inaccessible from the power source walls may need to be opened or an alternative thermostat location may be suggested.
Ecobee3 Smart Thermostat
A.J. LeBlanc Heating has begun in house testing of the Ecobee3 Thermostat. We have multiple technicians testing this smart thermostat in their homes. We are testing the Ecobee3 for its compatibility with furnaces, boilers, zoning, heat pumps, air conditioners and humidifiers. Although we have not logged many test hours this smart thermostat seems to preform extremely well. The Ecobee3 does a good job at integrating the best aspects of the Nest and the Honeywell Lyric, it is both simple and intelligent. View more smart thermostats at leblanchvac.com/smart-thermostats
