Doesn't really matter to me whether the gauge is digital or analog as long as it can actually show the fuel level. A gauge that can't...
Yep, if I had it figured out how to physically access the upstream side of the coil easily I already would have done it. I'm going to have to...
The point I was making about AC use vs. heat sources such as water heating, CFL's, and refrigerators is that the AC's efficiency ratio/method of...
While I dislike the concept to some degree, they tend to be a necessary evil in preserving property value/desirability as a place to live. In...
Agreed, this is the counterintuitive part. I've got to get the baseline system working decently (clean evap coil) before I can do a proper...
Are those R20's or R30's? I've not yet tried one of them that I was happy with (only tested the GE's and "Bright Effects" so far.) n:Vision does...
JSH, I find it hard to believe that the n:Vision and GE's "perform identically" for anyone on the criteria I listed. I've yet to see any GE's...
I've updated for info on lengths of GE's vs. n:Visions. I did some CFL conversion for my mother-in-law this weekend. There were some 60W GE...
The U.S. tried that with Canada once...it didn't work out quite as planned.
It's a pretty dumb gauge, as gauges go.
No doubt about that. The biggest potential energy improvement I see in housing is tighter ductwork installs. My HVAC unit even had big gaps...
It depends. One must carefully consider the basis, climate, etc. Heat going into the utility space does me little good even in Winter. Much of...
Agreed for all the reasons stated above. In addition, it won't save much at all. The surface area of a 40 gallon tank is only going to be...
I am a little surprised at how much folks are spending on hot water since by and large your frugality with energy outstrips mine. I've been...
It's not unfortunately...well, the parts that I can get to are tight and insulated now ;) ...but too much of it is in runs that I can't reach...
It's not all about being green, thrift enters into it as well. I don't physically junk things that still work, it's just not in my genes. ;) If I...
Look, you are trying to reduce the same heat loss whether you use a time or insulate the tank. What does using a timer accomplish? It reduces...
For me that would be 300 kWh. That's more than I use in hot water in a month. Doesn't compute unless your electricity is around $0.50-1.00/kWh....
I doubt it will save much because you are only saving on some heat losses at the tank. If it saved 5% I would be surprised. There was a timer on...
Almost nothing behaves like water. There are some peculiarities of its bonds both in the liquid and crystaline forms. Few substances are more...
