I dont have a floor drain or sump pump. The sewer pipe exits 3 ft off the floor. The house is 100 yrs old, in fact, a part of the floor where the coal bin was is dirt, the rubble walls are river rock. The rest of the floor is so uneven, I would have a hard time finding the lowest point to install a sump pump. No need to resort to calling people foul names, mark.
Correct.
The A/C contactor and humidifier solenoid share the same 24vac transformer. They are both ac relay coil loads, zero-crossing would snuff any serious transients.
No, why???
He knows his shit!! Unlike most in the trade.
The knowledgeable always have work fixing the equipment screwed by hacks!!
That's why the competent HVAC techs are in HIGH DEMAND!

Your logic is partially correct. I would leave the ac on a higher temp for a weekend, shut it down on longer trips. I dont go down the basement daily, and my old system had flooded a bit before I discovered the problem. It wasnt a big deal. As for the furnace, If I cut off the furnace with the overflow switch, you are right, the humidifier wont run either, but I risk frozen pipes. If I cut off the humidifier solenoid, and the pump fails, the furnace will continue to run, generating condensate and cause a minor acidic flood. Right, we've beaten this thread to a pulp.
As I just replied to your previous post, this is exactly why we are in DEMAND!!
Below is the OP, re-read the post and see if you can comprehend the question he actually asked.
Competent techs :
1.) to be able to read and follow directions 2.) to be able to find the problem and be able to solve it-- kjpro _-~-_>_-~-_>_-~-_>_-~-_>_-~-_>_-~-_>_-~-_>_-~-_>_-~-_>_-~-_>_-~-_>

Actually he can do it without adding any relays. lets see if you can figure it out John. can you tell me how he can do this without adding any relays?

Are you telling me you don't know how to do it?

Well, there are 2 different ways you can do it. first you could just break the commons to the humidifier and a/c or you could put the switch between RC and R or RH whichever is needed and feed the humidifier from RC.

This is not a jury rig as the RC is the feed for the a/c circuit and doesn't run through the anticipator. I suggest you look at a thermostat diagram and refresh your memory. there is nothing it can "Damage" asd for confusing?? if they are half a decent tech it wouldn't be confusing to them.
