Voila, thank you very much for the link! I, however, would prefer to buy from a private seller if at all possible since the restored ones sold through specialty service outlets tend to be prohibitively expensive, such as the ones sold by Antique Appliances.com. If you see or hear of a vintage 30" wide 1950's gas or electric stove through Craigslist or elsewhere, I would certainly appreciate a head's up! Thank you!

We just got this two weeks ago. I reviewed the comments and would like to clarify a few things: 1. Definitely have someone over to take a look at your cabinets. This may need a cut-out in your countertop (most common cuts are 19.5" x 34" - this needs 21" x 34.5"). Check the wolf installation guide for the specific dimensions. 2. It will need five holes drilled in the front plate. The cooktop comes with a template, and the dealer recommended installer (who has installed this before) will know how to get this installed. 3. It needs 7" room (depth) to fit. So if you have any obstructions - ensure that you have room to fit it in. Also check your electric point and make sure it is at least 10" below the countertop. 4. You can install this "flush" (with the edge carved in your countertop), or "drop-in". My installer recommended to go with the "drop-in" way for better support. 5. Strongly recommend that you get angled brackets from home depot to support the base from the bottom inside the cabinets (two on either side would do). Bottomline - get the dealer-recommended installer to come out and inspect your kitchen before you buy this cooktop. If it does fit - it is sleek, and just elevates your kitchen look. Additional Benefits: Because the knobs are moved out of the cooktop, you get ample room between the burners. You can fit two 12" pans side-by-side easily. A BIG benefit that goes unnoticed. The knobs do not have play, and are sensitive. ALL five burners come with separate simmer trigger with "Simmer Hi - Lo" positions. This works SO well if you love to cook and experiment. Minor note - if you have a "single exhaust" range hood, you might want to consider upgrading it with a dual-fan hood. I got a Hauslane, and am very happy with this combo.

Thank you everyone for your help. For the sake of clarity I have had my Bluestar RCS Range since the middle of May 2019. We are now in the middle of September 2019 so I have had the range for 4 months. I have always cleaned the surface with soap and water without issues. It was only when my friend charred peppers and eggplant on the open burners 6 days ago did cleaning become an issue. I tried using gentle methods first to remove burnt on food and grease before I used Easy-Off. I would not categorize myself as an over zealous cleaner. I only used Easy-Off as a last resort. My kitchen is small without much ventilation and I've gotten sick from the fumes given off by Easy-Off in the past. The fumes are hazardous so I only use this cleaner for extreme situations. One of the reasons why I purchased a Bluestar over any other manufacturer was the excellent customer service. I called Bluestar several times before my purchase to ask questions. They were always very helpful and assured me that if I had any issues with my stove to call them and they would immediately fix the issue within the first year warranty period. I trusted them. This was not case when this problem happened. When I first called Bluestar I did have someone explain to me that they had no idea what material the burner heads were made from and what coating was on them. I was told that the burner heads were outsourced and supplied by a third party. This was the first and only time I was able to talk to someone at Bluestar. From then on I repeatedly called, left messages, and no one would call me back. I sent emails with photos and I was blamed immediately for the issue without them hearing me out. This is why I thought it was important to talk to someone on the phone so I could explain myself. Still, no one from Bluestar would return my phone calls. So disappointing, especially considering I thought that I had built a positive rapport with one of the reps. Then I had to get everyone I knew involved, including all of you at houzz. I sent an email to a Bluestar service provider who had helped calibrate my stove after installation. I called the appliance dealer where I bought the stove and talked to the salesman and the front of the office. They were dismayed with this story and were very understanding. They gave me the phone number of the Bluestar rep in the NYC area who supplies the appliance dealership. This is where things turned around for the better. The Bluestar rep called me back and, for the first time, I was able to have a conversation with Bluestar about my issue. I was quite lucky to talk to him because he too has the exact same model of stove in his own apartment. He acknowledged that he had no idea what the burner heads were made from nor what coating was on them. He also said that he never thought about it before because he just never cleans his burner heads. We had a laugh. : ) He then read the Use and Care Manual and agreed with me that any normal consumer would assume that the "burner rings" (because it's a ring shaped burner) in the manual referred to the "burner head" on my range but he said the the burner rings mentioned in the manual referred to the open burner model range not my sealed burner range. He admitted that there is no care instructions for the sealed burner heads in the manual. He then went to bat for me. He talked to the head supervisor at the Bluestar service department and, indeed, they agreed to replace all of my burners and igniters free of charge, labor included. Whew! I am so relieved that I did not have to go the legal route and drag this issue forward. Furthermore, this Bluestar rep who helped me did some investigation about the burners. Well, it turns out that the burners are made from aluminum. Neither he nor the supervisor at the service department can determine what the coating is on the burner heads. It's odd because Easy-Off turned that silver coating to a sludgy, goopy, clogging mess. I have removed galvenized coatings from sheet pans before and it didn't goop up like the burner heads did. This is why I initially thought that that burner heads were painted. I would think that the burner heads on any range are among the most important parts but it seems to me that Bluestar's choice of burner heads for their RCS range was an after thought. Today when the Bluestar rep talked to me about the burner heads he agreed that the burner heads needed overhauled. He had a conversation with the supervisor about manufacturing better burner heads in the future and he had hope that Bluestar would do this. Unfortunately it's not going to help my case now. The Bluestar rep also said that Bluestar is going to immediately update their Use and Care Manual to address the care of the burner heads for their sealed burner ranges. This will be a big help. I also addressed the importance of upgrading their sealed burner head design as soon as possible. There are going to be many consumers of this stove who will blindly do what I did to clean the burner heads. For better and for worse Easy-Off is an intuitive cleaner to use for baked on food and grease on stoves and this could be a nightmare for Bluestar going forward. Again, the Bluestar rep acknowledged my concerns and agreed that the current burner heads need replacing. I suggested solid brass or 303 stainless steel. ( M- please feel free to weigh in here.) "A lot of traditional ranges use aluminum burners. Unlike brass, aluminum has a low melting point (around 1200F), so they tend to warp and deform over time. Aluminum absorbs heat faster because it's less dense than brass, but it doesn't retain the heat for a long time. This means that the temperature drops down much faster with aluminum burners than with brass burners. This fact may be appealing to those with children or those who want faster burner cooling times. Additionally, aluminum burners are less corrosion resistant and have a shorter lifespan as compared to brass burners." At least I have a solution. Would I have bought the Bluestar RCS Sealed Burner Range had I known that the burners were made from aluminum with a yet-to-be-determined coating on them? No. I remember several other manufactures with solid brass and solid stainless steel burner heads that were superior to Bluestar's burner heads but other flaws, like cooling fans, kept me away from those other manufacturers. Maybe going forward I could figure out a way to CNC the burner heads from Bluestar out of solid brass. (It would void my warranty, however.) That would raise the quality of my stove to what I expected it to be in the first place. Also, I planned on writing a review of my Bluestar Range and was going to give it 4 out of 5 stars. Based on my experience with this range and with Bluestar's customer service I just can't recommend the Bluestar RCS Sealed Burner Range to anyone at this point.

The Trane S8X2C100M5PSAA is a 2-stage 100K BTU input furnace with 80% efficiency. It is hard to imagine a house in Mesa, AZ would need a 100K BTU furnace. What size was the previous furnace? If the size was increased, then I suspect your duct work is too small and this is the reason it is very loud. Do you notice the furnace running in the low and high stages? What thermostat was installed? Even on coldest days I would think this furnace would only run on the low stage and rarely if ever go to the high stage. A static pressure of 0.16 is very low and I am skeptical of this reading. I believe the blower speeds need to be set for both the low and high stages. The speed is set my the temperature rise and not the static pressure. The installation tech does not appear to know what he is doing in my opinion. You need to call the installer and ask for an experienced tech to come out and review the the complete installation.
