First question:
Why would anyone want lower than 74?
a. refrigerate people like winter in NY?
b. prove that it can?As ARI standards look for 76F indoor temperature at 95F outside, seems the unit is working as planned.
Most folks would want to save money.

Most inspectors don’t care for vent to be painted. It wouldn’t hurt to paint B vent, as it is double-wall and cool on the outside. It isn’t required or necessary. Latex paint or hi-temp would do.

I think Trex would have done better to say that in some humid areas, the wood flour in the plastic/wood mix can become changed by mold.
I just made a garage door using the Veranda product cut up as boards. The intent is to let it mold if it would, as the house siding is green-gray, so some mold would fit in. The old white latex-painted plywood molded in the same location. Now the door is entirely plastic which won’t rot, much as pvc.
I suppose a manufacturer can be sued for allowing a wood replacement product to mold as much as a real wood product. Seems their precaution would have been to overlay a protective solid-plastic cover over the core.

If you can find whether the gas valve is getting 24 volts to the terminals when there is a call for heat, then you are closer to find out. If you don’t have the training to do that, then leave it to the repair company. You will be dealing with explosive gas.

You’ll need to shut the ball valves on both sides of the boiler, it seems probable you could have a picture of a matching supply AND return manifold with ball valves to shut so the water in the existing loops stays up there. That way you can spin in another closed ball valve quick on that tee (the same on the other manifold) after just draining some water locally to drop the pressure to atmospheric.
As for refilling, follow this:

Call a Lennox dealer to get the furnace fixed, then learn about business practices, warranties, and safety later.

Some ducts are made from foam.
http://www.ecvv.com/selling-lead/913734.htmlsome ducts are insulated with foam.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=VEC&q=air+ducts+made+of+foam&start=10&sa=NThe result will be the R value of the foam and how well the foam is surrounding the duct so no leaks occur.

The absolutely perfect responsible answer is that if there is a suspicion of danger, it is best to get a new furnace.
In the more physical world, the difference between an unvented unit that sits on the wall and burns gas within the living space
and
a vented furnace as far as burning the fuel; both produce the same percentage of burned gases. One large difference is that the unvented wall unit is usually half or less the gas burner that is in a vented central gas furnace.Losing one rivet completely would leave a 1/8th inch hole that would move a much smaller amount of burned gas than a wall heater. So people that want to gamble or ‘get away with’ might elect to buy several CO monitors to warn if there is enough CO to replace the furnace. Of course, by then, it is the winter and there is little time to get a replacement before the house gets really cold.

If you can set the house to a lower temperature for long periods, it will save money not to invest heat in the house at comfort temperatures.

It is obvious …
an unknown type of heating system
without a name or an identifying model
is tripping a breaker.Any further knowledge requires identifying the heating system. There are many different kinds that are fixed in different ways.

The hum can also be the contactor coil being shorted or the contactor being hung up from dirt. They should be replaced every several years.

The heat fan speed is lower so uses a low speed wire tapping from the motor. If there is a higher speed wire or connection, you might switch to that to see if that stops the sound.

Basically, you don’t. Mueller Climatrol was purchased by Fedders before 1980 and Fedders uses the name for window units now.
