Thanks for the great information guys. I have a 75 VA on order.

So try and find one with a rating of .59 -.66 and keep the rest of the specs the same.

The specs on the transducer are: 120v input, 50/60 hz, .50A, 24 volt output. Is the VA the 50/60hz on mine? And if so, I should go to one with 70/80 then?

I went and tested the output of the transducer, I got 28 ac volts. Then I went and turned up the thermostat so the heat pump would turn on and when it did the meter showed 22.4 volts. So then I also tested the input voltage and that shows 123 ac volts. So thank you very much for the...

So last season I thought I had the issue fixed, but half way in Jan the fuel oil furnace started acting up again. The burner kicks on and lights for 3 sec, then turns off and the blower fan motor kicks on for 3 sec and then turns off and the burner kicks back on and it repeats itself. To...

Well, I found that the capictor for the fan on the heat pump failed. So I got the heat pump to work correct for a few days. Now last night, I heard the heat pump kick on and off every 3 sec along with the oil furnace doing the same thing. I thought quick it was in the reverse stage for...

I have a Goodman heat pump that is tied into a fuel oil furnace. I had to replace the All fuel control board for reasons of the fuel oil furnace kicking on and off every 3 sec. The heat pump worked correct after this install but now the heat pump turns on for 1 min and then kicks off. When the...

I'm always for a free tool thanks for the chance

Thanks for the info, will start scrounging on my budget

Is the system you are going with a commercial unit? And what type of cost are you looking at for the system?

Do you have plans to go any bigger? I have been procrastinating too long on this about how big to build and how to build it, where as, I just need to build one. Thanks for all the info.

What did you use for the heat collector inside the unit?

I'm a new member and this is my first post. I live in Northern Minnesota so heat is a must in the winter time. I have been looking at different ideas for homemade solar heating since heating is a cost thing for us up north. I do have a wood stove, but have not installed it yet. I have just...
