So I’ve put my first coat of primer on my walls to cover over the previous home owners paint job..I’m using Sherwin Williams latex primer. The stuff went on fantastic except for one area that I had forgotten that I previously covered with Zinser oil based primer. The SW primer just sat on top...

I’m still in the process of deciding on paint color for my garage but I find it very frustrating trying to decide what brand of paint to use and for my garage it’s got to be quality first and cost secondary consideration. So far I’ve narrowed it down to BM an Sherwin Williams and to stay away...

Just checking out your garage photos…….that is absolutely spectacular what you have done

Thank you so much for all this helpful information and as you can tell I want to be informed as to what this machine does and that it’s doing its job reasonably correct. I do not have a inline heater installed and the model of my HRV is van EE 90H-V ECM

Ok thank you. So is it best just to measure the temperature at the ceiling vent that is pushing the fresh air in? I guess a simple glance at my wall thermostat will till me what the HRV is exhausting at and what are you referring to when you say pocket or electronic thermometer and any...

I’m wondering if can use a Milwaukee Laser Temperature Gun to read the incoming and outgoing air temperatures by taking a reading at the incoming and outgoing vents to determine if my heat recovery unit is operating correctly? My concern would be that during winter months if blowing all my...

Thanks for the valued feedback

Just a thank you to all who replied with their advice on my thread ‘’Cleaning Outdoor Heat Pump" Such a great Forum to be part of

I’m planning on using my garden hose to spray the the coils of my heat pump from the inside spraying outwards. I do understand that u need to be careful not to damage the fins when doing this. What I’m more concerned about is can I be getting things wet that shouldn’t be getting wet and causing...

Thank you very much for your professional and valued info with which you bring to light some often not thought about points. Just another question regarding storage for the season. Two thoughts on storage for the seasons with one being to simply add fuel stabilizer and the other being to empty...

Well I have a fair amount of concrete around my house so it’s really the only thing I’m using it for. Paid $300 cdn at Home Depot and the machine is manufacture rated at 2.5 GPM. Once I’ve cleaned my concrete it will probably be stored for another 12 months. So just wondering if the reliability...

I really couldn’t find a lot of reviews on this pressure washer the BE shop series that I bought at Home Depot.. I just based my purchase on the fact that BE seems to have the markets cornered here in Canada so hopefully I don’t have to worry too much about reliability.. Home Depot is pretty...

The cost of ur mini split will go up also and when it craps out all that money u saved on kw by not having a electric heater will sail out of ur home just as the hot air from ur mini split in the summer..

But hvac service rates will never ever go up in 9years or surpass what kw /hr rates may increase by. Interesting yes.

So you install a mini split in your garage instead of another form of heat. My research shows my break even point when the unit and installation cost are even with electrical or other forms of heat I’m looking at about 9years. Now that’s getting close to the unit’s warranty period expiration and...

Really I’d never have thought linesets come with corrugated tubing..no wonder there is no consumer confidence anymore! I’ve purchased a home and my garage space is 26x23 with 10 ft ceilings and heated by a 1500w in wall heater there fore my thoughts steer towards mini split. Now after extensive...

Yes for sure..and no useless fittings is a good reminder to keep it simple

No kidding!

I’ve recently received 2 quotes for installing a mini split in my garage. The wall that I want to install the interior portion on is also an interior wall between the garage an inside my home. 1st quote has no problem running the condensate line in a interior wall. Second quote or installer says...

Yes I agree with the feel good placement solution..how long have u had your heat pump and any regrets?
