Anybody on here install Honeywell Zonecontrol HVAC zone setups? Looking at having one installed on one of the two HVAC units on the new house the wife and I are building. Trying to see if I have my brain wrapped around the required items... I am going to try to get the builder to install said...

In my never ending research that goes off the deep end far to often I am researching what to do in the new garage floor. I keep going between a coating(epoxy or polyaspartic/polyurea) and porcelain tile. So im trying to research the various coating options right now. I got quotes from two...

I think I am simply not searching for the proper terms. I've got a 3 coach lights on my garage exterior on a switch in the garage interior. I know I COULD buy new coach lights with motion detection built in, but I think what I am looking for exists. Im looking for a switch to replace the...

I have a hot tub currently that uses this sub-panel. Were building a new house and the builder is going to run wiring out to said sub-panel. The loaded panel is $500+, which I would rather not spend if I can buy an 80-100 dollar panel and swap my breakers in later. They want at least the sub...

My wife and I are building a new house in the next 1-2 years so I am starting to make my list of extraneous things I want on the house or at least setup for. I believe I want a whole house backup genset. Looking at 20KW or 22KW from Generac(open to other suggestions as well). I dont know that...

Anybody doing it? Per my other thread on shop building, the wife and I are looking at property. One that just made the list isnt ideal for a large shop as its deed restricted to only a 400sq. ft. outbuilding hobby garage. I dont "think" thats a big deal as I could likely put a 3+ car attached...

Im in the planning stages(I seem to always be) of a 40x60x12 shop. Wife and I are currently looking to buy land to eventually build a house on and we would be building the shop within a year of buying the property. Im contemplating a 10 or 15 foot wide by maybe the whole 40 foot depth air...

Trying to setup a work shop in a spare bedroom in a new house and I am trying to figure out how to share my electrical load so I am investigating my electrical. There is a single 15 amp breaker between 2 bedrooms. Between these two bedrooms there are 11 outlets and 3 ceiling lights(2 are wired...

After reading countless threads on here and getting some great ideas, I think I finally have hatched a plan. This is going in a 20x20 garage with, I think 10 foot ceilings, but I need to measure, not that it matters much if they are 10 or 12. The whole garage is painted a flat tan with...

Just bought a house. Need to install a 6-50 NEMA plug and either 30 or 50 amp service for my welder. My current welder runs on 30 amp up to full power, but if I get a new welder in the future, it might require more, thats why I am thinking ill just go with 50 amp. Run would be less than 3...
