Wow. Okay, nice work!

Caseta is perfectly reliable and doesn't interfere with anything. Once you start, you'll likely want more, and that's okay :-)

It may seem silly to some, but can you upgrade to 400 at the house and drop in a 200 in the garage? That would afford room for tools, heating and multiple EVs if that's something you get into at some point. Usually the lines run to the meter are enough to do 400, and then you don't have to go...

This seems amazing. Definitely like that and will have to see what I can get locally!

Thanks! That’s an idea I hadn’t considered. That makes some sense hmm

We’re adding a countertop in an area with a sink that will kind of split the difference between a shop and a bathroom, and I’m trying to decide what countertop is attractive yet durable. I wouldn’t expect to do things like wood projects on the countertop like a workbench, but I expect we’d use...

We just won’t do gas. It would be too destructive and expensive to go all the way around the house, but we can do electric. Nice. I’m thinking I’d just set it to 50 degrees and have it heat when that’s needed. Then when we’d like to use it a bunch, crank it up with a little notice.

Good thoughts!! Gas is completely on the other side of the house, so I think it's probably a non-starter without a lot of money and destruction. I hope we don't really need to heat it all that much because we're just in Indiana where we pretend to have winters relative to Fargo! We will have...

Hmm, so the more I'm looking at this, the radiant heating panels paulsomlo mentioned sound really cool, but I'm not sure it would cut it to heat up quickly. Since I have attic space, it seems like maybe the best call would be to get small residential electric furnace with ducts for this...

Thanks! In this case, there's really not a good space for that. Bummer!

Would be great to avoid the most expensive heat! I'm only experienced with gas furnaces. I'm not opposed to some ductwork and putting some kind of unit in the attic. Is that what you're suggesting? I would like to avoid having any outdoor systems beyond vents. Thanks!

I've clearly come to the right place!! Yes, I have attic space above we plan to just have plywood put down on for storage or whatever. I like the idea of having it hidden. I guess I need to understand the trade-offs. I totally agree the typical square box heaters don't sound exciting. Good...

Hi Everyone! First post here, and I look forward to getting into the community! We're going to be building a detached garage that does not have natural gas access, and it can get into the negative single digits here in Indiana. The garage will serve also as a project space. Mostly we'll set...

If you’re upgrading to 200, you might be able to go to 400 for not much more. Charging a couple EVs adds up!
