    Craftsman store on amazon

    Craftsman has a store on Amazon which severely undercuts the prices at Lowes. Judging by number of reviews, Lowes products with 50 reviews have 2,000 on Amazon. I dislike shopping on Amazon, but 25% is a huge difference.

    Wattage for 220v 20a outlet

    I am looking at a new heat press which is 2800w. I cannot get another 25 or 30 amp outlet installed for the 110v version. It also comes in a 220v version. Will my 220v 20amp circuit power the 2800w press? Am I safe on the 220v 20a up to 4400w?

    Garage Journal saved me $7500

    From advice given in another thread, I went to the original installer of my AC system when the house was built in 2014 and apparently Lennox will cover my condenser coil replacement, labor and Freon in both AC units.
