1. No worries. I wish I could answer but I don’t have enough knowledge to do so. My issue was not enough voltage coming into the house for the compressor to be able to stay on. Once GA Power did their repairs, my compressor/AC resumed working normally.
@Arcc might be able to answer your Q.
2. Sorry to hear about your burst pipe. It sounds like you have a water mitigation company drying things out. I had to have one late Dec/early Jan due to a water heater leak. Their bill was an astoundingly high 18K!! I was shocked. It was 4-5 times as high as I had expected. But State Farm was pissed and fought them and got the bill cut in half to “only” 9K!
And SF is subrogating the claim against Rheem, the water heater manufacturer, as it was only 2 yrs old and there was a defective drain valve seal. If successful, I’ll get my deductible back.
By the way, I don’t intend to buy a tank ever again. I replaced this with tankless.
Are you including your extra power costs to run the equipment in your claim? I did.
As always, you’re the best. Yes, it’s SFarm. My home is a 3/2 Ranch brick slab. 1,800
NVL it was a pipe behind the shower. Thank goodness it wasn’t below the slab meaning hammering concrete.
I think the overload of voltage may have damaged my 6 yr old train hvac. Most definitely gonna fight to include into my claim if I can. And yes, at 54 yrs old this is my first home/car claim ever. Gonna squeeze every bit I can within reason.
