I have a 8yr old house that is really tight too. What I do is run the hrv system only when i start to get a inch of ice or moisture on my windows. Seems to help it not get so dry in the house. Of corse the colder it is the more I do have to run it. Otherwise it seems like a waste bringing in...

I live in MN and my horizontal venting faces the north side of my garage, I was having a issue when it would get real windy the exhaust would go back into the unit causing it to shut down. I called mr. heater and they told me I could put a 90 than a cap on top of that to help it. I never had a...

we did my brothers with black epoxy with silver and white chips than put two coats of rexthane down. It looks really cool!

Yeah you want to put a epoxy down first. I used sherwin williams macropoxy than put rexthane over that. Holding up very well. 20 gallons of rexthane will do 9000 sq feet give or take . If you have any extra I will take it off your hands for you, I would like to put another coat down :bounce:!

another thing that works very good is taking a shovel of snow, throwing it on the floor. Than take a broom and sweep it around, it soaks up all the water and picks up the dirt also. Than I take a squeegy to it and it looks like a new floor. I got this idea from someone on this site but I cant...

I dont think that would work. You will have a lot of frost from the exhaust under the deck for one thing. Could you rent a hole saw for drilling through concrete and locate it somewhere else?

Well I went to the depot and scored big. I got a rite temp digital thermostat that goes down to 35* and it had a thing to control the temp swing up to 2 degrees on it. It was orginally $47.47 i got it for $11.03! :bounce: It was a open box and discontinued model. I hooked it up and it...

I know this was posted a while ago but I talked to Brad from mr. heater service today and he said the directions are not real clear on size , but it is suppose to be 4" when venting horizontal and it can be tipped down a little for condensation to run outside. I already ran 3" so its a...

I think i may have a bad thermostat. I noticed it kicks on or off when the temp only moves by a half a degree. So that would make sense for the really short cycle time. Someone was telling me honeywell has a cheap digital thermomstat that goes down to 40 over at the depot.

I took the ring off and mine doesnt have an adjustment must be too cheap.

I do have a nondigital thermostat how do u adjust the heat anticiapator its just a plain honeywell turn dial one?

I have a big max 45k btu heater in a 625 sq foot garage. It has 3 1/2 insulation in the walls and 6 in in the ceiling. I have a ceiling fan I run all the time on medium. When I am not out there i keep my thermostat at 42 degrees. When my furnace kicks on it only runs for a minute or two than...

do you think I can use 3" all the way up, on a 45k big maxx, it will be over five feet if I go over my sofit and above my roof line?

I have a big maxx 45k heater and i vented it out the back of my garage with 3" b vent. It faces the north so when its really windy the flames shut down inside than relight again. I am assuming the exhaust is blowing back into the unit so it is turning the flame off. If i put a 90 elbow with...
