Ohhh don't get anal on me, they're called hydronic heating or combo units.... it just uses water from the water heater to heat the house is all, still looks like a furnace...
hahah, no need to snapback
when did you guys notice it wasn't working properly? did you use Andy for your 30 day inspection?
Hi Detachers,
Andrea here. Wow has it been a long time since I was on here. I am so happy for all of you that will be moving in this coming week. Ed and Sharon and Konstantine and Natasha. Whoo hooo!! It is finally here for you. Now we really need to plan a block party. I think once everyone has moved in and gotten all the kinks out re Mattamy fixing things by next spring or summer we will all be in fine form to have our Magurn Lane street party.
Well I thought I would give a little update on my place. When you guys close this week please make sure you all check your heating system. I turned mine on last week Friday October 2, and then went out in the afternoon. I didn't come home until later in the evening around 7:30 pm. when I got there there was a noise that I am not familiar with coming from the utility room. I didn't think anything of it at first since I wasn't sure it was a problem. But as the evening wore on the sound became louder and louder. I shut off the system aroun 9:45 pm and called the customer concierge line for assistence. When the guy called back he said that he would come out in the am to check it out but to leave the system off for the night. As it turned out the little pump on the front of the heating system was letting air into the pump because the washer was broken and then to compound the problem the water line that allows the hot water heater to heat the air for the furnace before it comes through the house was shut off.
AAAAHHHHH!!
What the HELL is that! Anyhow, the line should be in the on position, and it doesn't need to be turned off in the spring or summer. If I had let the heating system run overnight it would have burnt out the pump and that would have cost money to get fixed. Our homes cost a lot as it is, we don't need any unwanted extra costs if they can be avoided.
My next problem was that now that the system seemed to be fixed, Why is there water on the floor. Just keep and eye on the floor surrounding the unit once you have turned on the heating system. There was a puddle on the floor and the whole floor seemed to be damp. I still can't figure where the water is coming from. You want to know the "Kicker"? When I called the concierge line for help because obviously the system was now leaking waer for there to be a puddle of water on the floor, they guy that answered the number said the there is no longer a community concierge and that I would now have to wait until Monday morning and call the warrenty office. (I am sorry rick for the profanity that I am about to type) but WTF!!!:evil: Okay this is the same guy on the phone that came to the house in the morning to fix the problem in the first place. WTF!!! When I woke the next day to check out the utility room the water was gone. Again I am saying WTF!!! I did call warrenty on the Monday morning to let them know of the problem with water on the floor, but with it being gone what are they going to do? Go Figure. when you need the help they are not there for you, and when you call to report the problem you look like an idiot becase the problems seems to have fixed itself.
