General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Generators/House hook up/ Boilers
« on: February 19, 2013, 07:25:54 PM »
Just looking for a little input on a good generator and how everyone hooks them up to their systems to stay warm during a power outage. Have always used briggs but i know honda's are good motors too.I know i can have power company install quick disconnect to hook a generator to but i have to buy the stainless box 400 bucks. Just a post for people to share their setups and ideas....

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Actual Electric Savings...
« on: January 15, 2013, 07:09:30 PM »
Hardy h2. 32x80 2006 model trailer house. all electric. First year with Hardy. Last year same billing cycle 2011 - $264.84 house at 68 no shop heat. 2012 - $123.36 (1245kwh used) house at 72 shop 30x40 at 50 nights 60-70 during most days. And hot water off the stove. Seems like my savings arent the WOW factor i had hoped for but i have 2500 in the whole install so it wont take long to pay for itself. Running a taco 0011 if that makes any difference.

Seems like a good idea, I heard on another site they were 60 bucks plus shipping. 330-485-6310 they said to leave a message and he would get back to you. May get one for my h2 and see what happens.

Shoot me your opinion on this, should it use a R board up on the 2x4's on this part /\ which would leave the bottom of the trusses open which i have all kinds of crap stacked on. or put it flush with the bottom of the trusses. i know putting it on the bottom of the trusses would really help but i use them at least once a week for storage.

My current set up is not working, when it gets 32 or lower it runs all night to keep it at 45 in my shop. I am using a 2 row 3/8's copper tubing old refridgerent coil about 15 x 10. My blower is a 1/3 hp squirel cage with a shroud to the homeade HX. I am wanting to buy a new HX but am not sure what size i should get. My shop is 30x40x10. The walls are blow in insulation 5 1/2 inches thick to the bottom of rafters 10ft . All the tin has that cheap bubble wrap insulation on the backside. The ceiling is just the bubble stuff but i plan on insulating it this winter. 6 inch conrete floor also. What size HX do you think i need to keep this thing about 45-50 at night without running all night. Then just turn it up when im working inside. THanks

70's here in missouri. I think i got it whipped, the inscent stick was the trick. was pulling air where the motor for the blower bolts to the fan housing, a little silicone and so far so good, but only time will tell. thanks willie G that was a good little trick to add to my little black book

THe flapper on the blower sits down with a small amount of slack in the chain. the clean out door i siliconed shut to try to eliminate it as the culpret, the door gaskets are brand new.  Is it feasable to say the wind is pulling air out of the stack and flowing just enough to keep the ambers hot? the stove hasnt kicked on in 14 hours and had a temp reading in the float tank of 200 and thermostat is set on 160 right now. Just at a lose of what to do, dont want it to overheat .
