So what I’m finding is that if you read the fine print on most of those smart plugs they aren’t actually 15amp for all types of lights. They’ll have different rating for different lights. The ones I’m seeing are 600w LED and 1800w incandescent. It’s because of LEDs higher inrush current when...

I wish I could find the frosted tubes but I haven’t been able to find them in 5000K only 6500k which I don’t want. I might frost the lens myself? Is there any smart switch out there that would work? Or can I at least use just a regular 15 or 20amp switch?

It’s just a switch. I don’t recall seeing anything indicating the type of ballast. I don’t think they have ballasts. These are the fixtures/bulbs I’m getting: Barrina LED Shop Light, 8FT 72W 9000LM 5000K, Daylight White, V Shape, Clear Cover, Hight Output, Linkable Shop Lights, T8 LED Tube...

So as a follow up to my previous post, I found the Leviton smart switch and companion remote that says it’s rated at 15amp. But I’m confused on why there is different ratings for using LED fixtures vs incandescent fixtures. Here’s what the discription says: RATINGS: Requires Neutral Wire...

I need some help from the collective brain trust. I’m trying to add a circuit in my garage to run about 15 of those 8ft barrina led lights. I want a separate circuit so I can have the other, existing, lights on a different switch (I don’t need operating room brightness when I go out to grab a...

Searched but didn’t find any current info on smart thermostats for the garage. I’m looking for a smart thermostat for my garage that will go lower then 50 degrees. 40 should be low enough. I want to be able to remotely control the thermostat so I can turn heat on in the garage without having to...

I know this is an older thread but how to you go about checking the blower fan to make sure it spins true? Mines a bit noisier then I’d like

I’m planning on metal cabinets from Newage so I don’t know about rail system or exactly where the mounting holes are. I might just run a 2x4 on top of the drywall so it’s out further then my stem wall

I have a 6” stem wall on the exterior two walls of my attached garage. Is it best to have the exposed concrete coated all the way to the bottom plate before I install drywall and close the walls or can I just run the drywall down 1/8-1/4” above concrete and the put some trim on once I get the...

I’m going to insulating my garage in the next week or so and before I do I was thinking of putting up some blocking for future Newage cabinets. I was planning on a corner setup and they’d be against two exterior walls that are 2x4 walls. What’s the best way to block for cabinets in a wall that...

This is the vent cap that I have: Amerivent® 4" B-Vent Rain Cap at Menards https://www.menards.com/main/p-1444432073849.htm How much does a combustion analysis cost? I hate to call one of these hvac companies that gave me crazy high quotes for a garage heater (around $5000) after I’ve bought...

Venting is all brand new b-vent with 2 45 elbows in the attic to get to where I needed it vent thru the roof so I can’t imagine there’d be an issue there. And when you say manifold pressure? You asking before or after the heaters regulator. Mr heater says 4”w.c pressure after regulator for...

Got my 80k btu heater installed and notice that when the garage lights are off at night and the heater is running there is a faint red glow on the 3 middle tube at the first bend. I bought a manometer and stepped the pressure down to about 3.8”w.c but it still glows. I checked the temps with my...

The vents are bathroom exhaust vents and the window does not open

I’m in Wisconsin as well! Hello neighbor. I’m going to just follow the diagram in the manual then that says 6’ from vertical wall I guess
