    There goes the newb...

    Hello All, As I read through this forum, I keep absorbing so much information - it's great. That said, I am now very confused on the standards for fire/smoke/co/ror, etc. In a fairly spread out two level house that is only occupied part time, with a workshop that holds several vehicles, etc...

    Elk and multi-zone HVAC system...

    Hi All, I am torn between an M1 and an Omni II, and while I am leaning heavily towards the M1 at this point, a very immediate issue here may be the determining point.
