    Can this be used for "C" wire to the digital thermostat?

    This is very interesting, I certainly have learned a lot from you here. The fan is a variable speed, the furnace is a Carrier, so I want it all to work perfectly.

    Can this be used for "C" wire to the digital thermostat?

    Thank you for this info, we will see what we will choose to do. What you described is a great work-around. Its very important to have a fail-safe situation. A friend is getting me some of those old Honeywell circular mercury thermostats. People throw them away. We dont have AC and its not a 2...

    Can this be used for "C" wire to the digital thermostat?

    I wonder how many are improperly wired, and are dependent on those 2 little batteries while the people are away for the winter? I talked with our daughter who's husband consults for an insurance company who specializes in house freeze-ups, and a good percentage of the claims are exactly what we...

    Can this be used for "C" wire to the digital thermostat?

    We check houses for people with new gas furnaces, and digital thermostats, who are not here for months in the winter. Just recently we had two furnace shut-downs, and the power had NOT gone off in our area. Turns out that they have new digital thermostats, and the batteries had gone dead...

    Want a warm cellar

    Odd that with all browsers and changing the url won't bring it in for me, but some servers are down this morning, our local newspaper also of all odd things. Probably tomorrow those 2 sites will work. I remember when my site was down, and my web host was all upset and bombarded us with apology...

    Want a warm cellar

    Yes, its too difficult to do calculations like this, our cellar also has a leaky garage door. Im not sure of all your terms? So rather than go into tons of math and measurements, we decided to go with what was recommended, and we pushed it up a notch or 2. And I know that it will be cheaper than...

    Want a warm cellar

    No, we didn't do the actual measuring and trying to remember the insulation factors. House has been added to and we now have a sunroom and a larger upstairs. The people who gave us estimates are familiar with this kind of house and climate, so we pretty much have to rely on them. When we first...

    Want a warm cellar

    Yes Indeed! But having one of these in your bed helps, she is now 7 years old, about 75 pounds and generates a lot of heat. http://www.jcdouglass.net/gallery2013/puppy.html Tho her dreams with the thrashing paws and squeals do wake us up, and when our grand dog is here, its Double!

    Want a warm cellar

    All the heating things that we go thru in our lifetimes are very interesting. In our camp in Maine, we have an ancient kitchen kerosene huge cook-stove. And a fireplace big enuf to put a Volkswagon into, and house has no insulation, right on the ocean. And that place is damn cold unless its...

    Want a warm cellar

    Yes, I had to cover my washer and dryer daily. I can hear my husband down cellar vacuuming right now, and I started washing our pantry shelving yesterday.

    Want a warm cellar

    Its a GO! They use the 4 inch Merv filters. Its $3700 which includes a 700 rebate all inclusive. And thats 2 years of coal, and a lot less work, we are happy with this decision. Thank you all for all your help and information!

    Want a warm cellar

    Service after the sale should be OK, the guy is local, and Ive already talked with him about the availability of parts for our son in law. No problem as there is with Lennox. And there is a warrantee for 10 years on most parts. Labor, we will take care of. Efficiency down to tenths of a point...
