Have a very old Reddy Heater M100D. Been working great for all these years until today. The motor would just hum, so I flipped the fan by hand and it started and heated up my area. Later took the motor apart and found the front bearing was dragging. The short of it, the front bearing is...

Think I'm going with geothermal in the spring/summer. Currently have two heat pumps in the house, one main floor and one basement. Since I'm also wanting to condition my 30x48x16 shop off the back I wonder if it's feasible to use the same piping to run two or maybe even three separate...
