got it up and working. I BARELY had enough distance for the existing hot/neutral (now hot) lines in the panel without wanting to rearrange things. The conduit part worked out nicely but I forgot that the EMT box was to be surface mounted and i cut a hole before i started so I had to modify the...

i wired it up today. Heater will go on tomorrow. It comes set up for 240 from the factory but the infrared heater can be 120 also. it's the same 750W unit, just a different pigtail. So i assume it just draws amps differently. It's a solaray-d heater. And yes i labeled white to black tape and...

i'll hav to double check the outlet in that room. the panel labels it as only going to the cadet heater but i'm gonna check because the previous owner did other weird things so i wouldn't put it past him

I got some ceiling mounted infrared heaters and in one room I wanted to use the wiring from a wall cadet heater to power it. The heaters are 240v, but can be 120 as well (just draw more that's all). But I was thinking...it only demands 12 gauge wire because of the amp draw at 240...can I just...

I need a new heat pump/furnace system ASAP because my bryant died at 18 yrs old, heat exchanger corrosion. Got a few bids today which included different servicers pushing Goodman/Daikin, American Standard, Mitsubishi. I did a lot of research on the parent companies and the shared models...

I didn't even think about this before. We've been here for several years and thought oh cool this furnace is fancier with electronic. I see the dustiest vents and thought somethings gotta be off. I ordered another set of prefilter with carbon inside to put in on the "post" side to see if it...

i do have the mesh prefilters still. I saw I can get carbon versions of them. Do the housings charge those too or just the main filter? Maybe I can get the best of both worlds

Maybe it's just structural

No the box is plane. It just has wire mesh over the pleated fabric in the "waffle" area

Yup it came real fast. The washable cells aren't even that dirty which tells me it does a **** job. I assume now I never have to turn on the cleaner housing again. These filters has the wire embedded in the filter media but the box being cardboard tells me charging the unit is now useless lol...

Aprilaire didn't have sizes no their site, just their model numbers. I went ahead and ordered some 5" filters from Filterbuy. Looks like this cleaner fits the Goodman/Amana style 15 3/8 x 25 1/2 x 5 1/4 size. Found that on a canadian website for my cleaner model. I guess these really **** as...

If a box filter is inside the "bug zapper" then do I not need the 1" filters before? That would save me the money retrofitting the air grilles into place as well which is like 50-60 a piece. plus getting on a 20 foot ladder to do this all the time sounds aweful

electronic cleaner looks like this https://www.dcne.com/product/16x25-electronic-air-cleaner-p102-14a-d I suppose I could put this in there too...

On our house furnace we have one of those electrostatic filters (previous owner installed, my guess 2005). I just decided it's time to add standard filters too. I can't slide them into the housing above the furnace because the slots only allow for 3/8" prefilters. Then of course there's the...

I had bought a propane radiant heater but I decided I'm putting that on the back deck outside since I have a propane hookup there.
