I find it interesting how many US General boxes people here have. No criticism at all (I have one too) just an observation. Definitely speaks to how good they are. Nothing in this post should be misunderstood, interpreted, misinterpreted, or construed to be of a political nature.

What are your electric rates per kWh? I would be extremely surprised if pellets at $325 per ton are cheaper than a heat pump in an area like yours that doesn’t need a ton of heat. If you post your electric numbers I can plug them into a heating cost calculator and tell you if you are saving...

Quick Google search shows a diesel cost in Olympia WA at $4.55-$4.69 per gallon. Chart above shows $ 0.494 cents per gallon for taxes. But, delivery may add a little cost. So, seems to be a little high to me. I did a search for home heating oil prices and it's pretty hard to find prices on...

We had a pellet stove in the last house. We liked it overall. Pellet prices have skyrocketed. We were paying $160-180 per ton 8 years ago or so and now they are $375-400+ per ton. Very expensive way to heat now. Nothing in this post should be misunderstood, interpreted, misinterpreted...

Yeah there are many factors that come into knowing the cheapest method of heating a house. Costs of all sources of heat, location, insulation levels, etc. There is no one heat method that is the cheapest for everyone. Any time someone tells me "this is the only way", I usually discount...

Natural gas isn't an option where I live. Not far away, natural gas is available. Due to our relatively high costs for gas meter rental/service if you have natural gas in my area, you are better to run everything possible on natural gas. Generally speaking, I would not have a heat...

Spray your greasy stuff with diesel. Let it sit a few mins, then pressure wash it off. Diesel is an excellent degreaser. Nothing in this post should be misunderstood, interpreted, misinterpreted, or construed to be of a political nature.

I wouldn't hesitate to bet on that statement. I own one. Works great. With my propane rates, 29*F change over temp is ideal but if propane was more expensive, I'd drop the switch over temp lower. Even at 25*F my heat pump is still putting out warm air....not hot air but warm air. The heat...

There is such a thing as a new heat pump and furnace installed together. Actually fairly common. The cost isn't too high. They are typically called a dual fuel system. There is a thermostat outside at the outside unit and the inside thermostat is also used to set the switch over temp...

Heat pumps are great in moderate climates. They aren't nearly as great in very cold climates. I would be checking to see if the heat strips are running all the time. Also agree we need more info. Location? Temps? What system did you have before the heat pump? Nothing in this post...

Recently purchased some Gearwrench 90T ratchets. I really like them. Definitely a good purchase. Nothing in this post should be misunderstood, interpreted, misinterpreted, or construed to be of a political nature.

Now that's some useful info. So, you have plenty of gas going to the valve so that side is good. It appears there's an issue with the valve. We now know the problem now we just need to find the cause of the problem. Could be several causes. Since it was converted to propane from natural...

I had two 64 ft seamless gutters with 4 downspouts installed in 2021 or 2022. They charged me about $750 for those gutters installed. Buddy of mine just got a quote for an install. 4 gutters with 4 downspouts around 180 ft. I think he told me the price was $1500. Nothing in this post...

I built my house. The house is conventionally framed but has metal siding just like a barn or shop. So, it has girts on the outside to screw the metal to. Before we installed the metal, we covered the girts with 1 inch rigid foam sheets. The foam we used has silver reflective material...

Can you just put the heater outside somewhere and duct it in? Nothing in this post should be misunderstood, interpreted, misinterpreted, or construed to be of a political nature.

No worries! I kind of suspect the issue the OP is having is the wrong setting on the gas valve itself. But, he's not being very responsive with diagnostics so he's making it hard for us to help him. Part of diagnosing things is to test various possibilities. Once you eliminate the things...

I wouldn't put it there. Nothing in this post should be misunderstood, interpreted, misinterpreted, or construed to be of a political nature.

You've got that backward. Natural gas has larger orifices than propane. Natural gas is lower pressure than propane. This is going to take some diagnosing. OP does the fan that blows the heat into the room come on at all? What is the manifold pressure? Not the pressure to the heater...

Another vote for this. OP lives in a cold area. Few more questions: What size area are you trying to heat? What outside temp? Flames look ok to me but a 100lb tank, if it's extremely cold, might not vaporize enough propane. The dual propane tanks would help if the OP is drawing from...

Love mine. Have one of their grease guns too and I like it as well. Nothing in this post should be misunderstood, interpreted, misinterpreted, or construed to be of a political nature.
