Re: I'm getting solar panels. I'll let you know how it goes in this discussion thread.
@ethicalpaul Hope you will post a few things as to how the system benefits you in the future.
You have a good-looking house. Even the deer are admiring it.

Re: Help with Goodman GSXC16 Error code 04
Capacitance measured is 34.4 uf, capacitance rated is 35.0 uf. is that within 6% plus or minus.
Testing that possibility. first step is to re do all the wiring connections. Seems that all the failures happen around 3 PM when the setback ends and the system starts to recover. If redressing the wiring does not fix the problem, then removing the setback to see if that is the cause of the problem. I don't want to change too many things all at once. Then we won't know what one of the many fixes worked.
Re: Trying to sell my steam radiators... Any tips?
The first ones are plain Jane, steam only rads and not adaptable to a hot water system.
However, the last two wall hung ones are quite unique and should hold some interest for steam heads. They could be used with hot water systems also.
I would consider them to be rare and valuable to the right people.
Don't lose the wall hanging brackets

Bypass it and reroute. Let the old pipe in the slab "die on the vine." Mad Dog
Re: Help me calculate pressure drop!
do you need more output?
If not running at a lower firing rate and a more constant run will be most efficient
If you running condensing mode, a small firing rate in a large hx equals more condensation , higher efficiency
The combustion analyzer is important for dialing in an efficient burn

Re: Leaking valve on water tank
This ^^^^^. Before you go to the trouble of replacing it, which would be a bore, try fixing it — which might take a few minutes…
Re: Can someone explain this hydronic loop heating.
That added loop probably emits a small amount just from convection.
Unless we don't see another piping connection, I don't see it actually circulating through?

Re: Heat Pump Cooling Not Working
It looks like the 45uF part Capacitor is out of spec. +/- 6% However at 41.3 uF I would think it still would work.
Re: Can someone explain this hydronic loop heating.
I would use a manual bleeder. Less likely to leak in an area where they are not visible
