So I’m pretty the supply/return main lines got mixed up when everything was put together. Only thing I can think of that explains full outflow at the return vent. I guess I never noticed it before...

True. Also found someone willing to lend me the tools for a weekend.

New construction house about 7 months old, installed 2 Nest thermostats on a 2 zone system (one compressor and one handler). No issues until now (at least that I’ve noticed) So I was downstairs and walked through the main hallway which I thought was quite warm - looks like there is warm air...

About to do a small trenching project and don’t necessarily want to buy these. Anyone have some I can borrow? Located in Chesapeake, VA

Virginia - Chesapeake

Had a chance for another electrician to come out and talk powering the garage. Good news is I can save some money and do the trench myself. He’ll be on tap to make the final connections. He was also nice enough to give me a full run down of what they’re gonna look at for inspections so I’ll be...

No clue, couldn’t figure that one out either. Anyone know of a good tool to plan/design the circuits?

Just measured off of the knockout - that will be tight - it’s almost to the other wall of the house, but I could bring the conduit up the corner right there

Back on topic... I’ve got some more electricians coming out for comparison quotes but am also continuing to give the idea of tackling this myself some serious consideration. That being said, where would run the grounding rod? My initial thought is to (in the new garage) bring the grounding...

I’m on a slab so no basement to work through. Will measure that knockout in a bit. Any recommendations for where to run the grounding rod off the sub panel?

I don’t believe the current one is dual lug

Haha no kidding, been a few years since I’ve operated one of those though. Can anyone recommend any guides or videos to show me the process of all of this?

I’m ok with a little bit of drywall work, actually. Sounds like I would bring it up the wall (outside) in conduit, through LB box into the wall, then into the panel through a 90 or other fitting.

That’s about right.

Good to know, through the wall it’ll go!

Can I bring the wire through the meter box and into the panel on the backside?

My biggest question at the moment is how do I bring it into the current panel? As you can see, there’s block at the base. I’m assuming I bring the conduit up - drill through the siding, paneling, and open up a spot in the drywall then bring it up the wall and into the panel that way.
