I just ordered parts to do what you are looking to do. I can support a 5000 watt heater off my sub panel with a 30 amp breaker but to have a wall thermostat to handle the 21.5 amp load i ordered a specific 220 v switched circuit meant for electric heat. The switch circuit will supply 24v to a...

I just did two 330w HiBays on a 14' ceiling in a small garage and I used 18/2 thermostat wire and two distinct switches. I used a 15a twist lock in the ceiling with a standard luminary disconnect plug for the dimmer so I could take the fixture down without cutting cables. Inside the fixture the...

I think this thread could be interesting. I am currently constructing my garage and I just finished installing two LED HiBays. Getting the design correct (or my view of correct) was a very challenging task. I wanted to do it right and it literally took months of planning. I tried to use a ALA...

If you are interested in home automation one of the most flexible controllers is the ISY994Zw from Universal Devices. It will actually control multiple protocols and provide you with decision capability like.... if this motion detector triggers between time 'x' and time 'Y' then turn on this...

Glen, If you are not running the latest version of iOS you cannot do markup. I have an older iPad that cannot upgrade to iOS 10 and markup is not there, so that may be your issue. Select the settings icon on the home screen, then General, then Software Update. If it says you are at latest...

If you are using an iPad or iPhone go to 'Photos' select the photo you want to edit and at the bottom select the icon between the 'heart' and the garbage can, select the circle with three dots in it and you will get a popup with 'markup'...

I have had good results from all types of gas grilles, tools and appliances at https://ereplacementparts.com I looked quickly and they support LG refrigerators

I'm not really sure that pictures are good to look at because you are at the mercy of the camera and the way it corrects for brightness. This is the HiBay that I used in my new garage...

I use Insteon electronic switches and they have a 600w and a 1000w wall switch. You can double up them so each switch operates the other. Word of caution even though the insteon switches use both RF and power line communication a simple setup with a large distance with switches on opposite sides...

I did 2 large wattage LED HiBays because I have a high ceiling in a relatively small garage (440 sq ft) using an LVL for a ridge beam. I had a choice of 4K or 5K and I decided on 5K. I have 3K LED recessed lights throughout my home and I kind of like the intense color of the higher temps. I...

I thought they were a little expensive but decided that they probably would work. Wow, what a difference and it makes the insulated door functional. They are worth the money IMHO.

10/3 will only get you 30 AMP circuit protector for your run. I would go much larger and put a 60 AMP sub panel out there. With 10/3 you will get to run the heater or the compressor but not both. Typically a small 220v heater needs 21 AMPs for 15,000 BTU that serves 500 sq ft. If it is your...

Why don't you get tire heaters like they use at the track?

is that slippery when it is wet? If yes how slippery can it get?

Around my home there are short order concrete delivery companies and a quick search for Ontario CA shows there is one there. [chinoshortload.com/tag/ready-mix-ontario-ca/"]http://chinoshortload.com/tag/ready-mix-ontario-ca/[/URL] Ops this is for California... But you get the idea..

I have a single stage Toro and it is entering it's 21st season. I originally bought the single stage because it was lighter and I could lift it by myself onto the bed of my pickup so I could get to my mothers home and do her driveway and walkway. Yes, heavy wet snow is/or could be a problem...

You need to update your profile so we know where you are located. What will work somewhere may not work at your place. Solar panels provide electric current but I would imagine the cost of it would be way out of line with benefits.

Low voltage, telephone, ethernet, cable, TV or CCTV feeds should not be run in same conduit for safety reasons and as such is against NEC. Moisture in the conduit could transfer power to the low voltage cables if there is insulation breakdown and put power where it is unexpected and be a fire...

I just ordered HD40 for my new garage and I did not consider HD37. I wonder if it is worth adding that to my project. I have 4500 PSI floor. What is yours? Jack

If your doing the grading why not call a concrete supplier and get a quote for enough concrete and the same PSI ratings that you are getting to cover your job. That seems to me, besides any rebar or wire that this is the biggest expense. Once you have 'your materials cost' you can better...
