I went down this road before and it wasn't very easy. As standard as windows are, the parts for them can be a big PITA to find. That being said, , I did my search before everything this is on the internet somewhere so it may be easier now.
Did you recently move to Texas?
Our house moves so much my wife is sure it’s going to fall into a giant sink hole. The reality is that the builder was a 27 year old kid with a serious drinking problem.
Just framers and drywallers. The electricians and plumbers are usually sober.
You didn't mention the painters or roofers.
That's because the painters are on harder stuff in their free time and the roofers tend to just have a cold beer or two in the cooler, enough to just take off the edge.
Hit with hammer, check. No zone valves. Looks like a valve before but not after. I think 40 years might be generous. 😁
We had a recirculating system but the previous owners tapped it off to save energy. Doesn't recirculating hot water cost more to operate? If not, I understanding why
This is for my home heating boiler loop, not my hot water heater. I have three zones, each one has it's own circulator pump, and this one is DOA. It's kind of strange that like Pat asked, there are no zone valves, only the pumps. Maybe they figure that not much flows anyway when the pump is off?
Not sure what you mean. You kind of need a pump to move water through your system for baseboard/heated floors. Pump turns on when there is a call for heat, or pump plus zone valve depending on if there are multiple zone or multiple pumps. Not sure how you can cap it off unless you have a tankless with a built in pump.
