    New site question, "first new post button"

    Previously, when viewing a forum, I could see all the threads and see which ones had new posts since my last visit. They had a small icon next to them which would take you to the first new post. I cannot find anything like this in the new forum. Am I missing something? [I see that you can...

    Pioneer mini split question - frost protection

    I'm looking at installing a couple 18k BTU Pioneers in my 24x36 shop (one upstairs and one down). In the winter, I typically keep the shop at 40-44 degrees when I am not out there, and warm it up when I go out to work. How exactly does the temp setting work for heat? What ranges of temps are...

    Max run for heater wire

    I suppose this is the correct forum (mods feel free to move to heating / cooling if appropriate). The previous homeowner ran 10/2 Romex from the box in the basement across the house to the garage for (apparently) a heater. I have a 5kW Dayton G73 heater that I was thinking of connecting in the...
