I acquired knowledge of various DIY projects from our dad by observing him as he tested home improvement projects when I was a kid.
He was handy with his tools.
He went around the home, fixing structural and decor flaws at home. He could not even help it when he was out going to see friends. His eye for perfection consistently observed something that needed fixing, especially Heating, Ventilation plus A/C equipment. Every one of us all enjoyed him for this. I watched him when he was wiring an electric oil furnace control component carefully and l learned how to do it. A while back, I saved a friend some bucks that he would have otherwise paid for his oil furnace control component wiring. The process is relatively easy. Begin by turning off the air handler or electrical circuit to the oil furnace, however note down the wire colors and the terminals where each wire goes through. Better yet, take snapshots of everything you do while removing the outdated control component from your Heating, Ventilation and A/C system. My dad used the old-university method of labeling all the wires on the control component by marking each terminal and their corresponding wires. These notes or pictures will come in handy later while wiring your new control unit. After that, remove the outdated control component and remove it. Put the new control component in place and begin re-wiring it to the terminal. Use your labeling notes or pictures to complete this process, but remember to connect the wires one by one until you’ve reinstalled all of them and your new control component is in place. At this point, the job is done, but to confirm that it’s functioning respectfully, turn on the electrical circuit and adjust the new control component to start the cooling or heating process. The control component should operate just fantastic if the wires are attached accurately. If not, you might want to examine each terminal and the wire attached to it.
