Re: backflow at funeral home
A main premise, BFP might be a code requirement for that type of business in your area. Its more likely that the department of public health requires a main premise BFP as well as point of use protection in the form of a vacuum breaker VB or BFP.Go ahead and put one in. Better safe than sorry… for so many reasons.

Re: backflow at funeral home
It’s a good idea and a fight you won’t win. Make sure you have a properly installed domestic expansion tank installed also.
And of course you’ll probably need the BFP inspected/certified annually.
Re: New refrigerants Epa 608
2001 325i but as far as i know the output of any automotive alternator plummets at low engine speeds. Might be a 150a alternator at 2000 rpm of the crankshaft but outputs say 30a at idle. You could change the ratio of the sheaves to turn the alternator faster but that causes a number of other problems.

Re: Old HP system failed: new refrigerant choice? new equipment reliability?
This is the wrong time to buy. It seems reliability and the new equipment and new refrigerants are not very compatible right now. If I was going to make a choice I might buy Goodman. Last I knew they were R-32 and do not use the ill fated microchannel coils. In the past they (Goodman) had a reputation of being cheap crap. Now everything is expensive crap
Re: Who owns who?
It's getting like car batteries. 1000 brands but there is only 2 or 3 MFGs.

Trouble on the Roof
One of my customers here in Berkeley called me that his carbon monoxide alarm was alerting him to high levels of CO in the mechanical room . I picked up ~500ppm at the boiler with my analyzer, but wondered how it was getting into the house.
After shutting down the boiler, the owner told me that he had a new roof done in January and when I checked the termination, the new top had been pushed down so far as to almost completely block the flue.
I see this often enough.
