I have a customer I have done all their electrical in the house, I have repaired their upstairs hvac equipment, and replaced their downstairs system. I have installed a whole home dehumidifier and maintained everything they have. They have a generac 24kW standby generator installed by me, and I...

Sorry... management gave him a 30 day vacation from here. Likely he won't be back.

Ok,this thread shouldn't be in this section of the forum, but higher ups than I let it stand, so I will put in my .02... My guideline is if a member is disruptive, report them... it is a very bad idea to POST aggression towards a member. And posting "I reported you for bla bla" just make it...

Well surely this means grid tied customers will get more money for selling power back right? ... right?

please don’t misunderstand me. I did ask for high resolution pictures. Electricity is a wild and dangerous thing. I would really like to look everything over and see where all the wiring goes. you may not think the mass of wires could possibly be the culprit, but it could. 1.5A on balance...

I will be picking up 56 panels. Around $54 each. Plus fuel… @4.50 a gallon, that’s a big part of the deal… Anyway, I’m planning to build a decent array, so wish me luck!

I will put it out there, all these requests for an evaluation unit likely will fall on deaf ears. They likely are looking for @Will Prowse level reviewers to put them through their paces... and post suitable viewed from membership levels. I mean... I am a fully licensed unlimited electrician...

Ok, as a pro HVAC/Electrician speaking here, minis have a HUGE disadvantage to ducted systems. Dirt. The filtration in a ductless mini is pitiful. A huge part of my service time is cleaning muck from ductless minis. Minis have the blower wheel directly in the cooling air path, so, it’s...

It’s been a huge struggle dealing with the bonding insurance, but yesterday my NC unlimited class electrical license got activated... FINALLY! So tired of subcontracting out big permits! Back to work!

This member is My daughter... Everybody be nice to her!

It is well animated, and explained nicely.

I got the generator going this morning, and powered up all my little power banks, ran the space heater all day today... propane tank placed in the exhaust stream of the genny just ran out about 30 minutes ago. Fingers crossed the power comes on by 8pm like they say. Sucks I didn't get to...

Anyone installing mega fuses in a home system needs to realize they only protect from equipment overloads. Class T fuses or similar high AIC interrupt are needed to protect from a short circuit. Shorts can occur at any time with no warning. Shielding from contact is needed between polarities...

This popped up in my feed today…

I have never angered my front porch... i didnt even know they had feelings...

Well, ive been everywhere man... i own the domain name yourmrfixit.com... because, so far, ive not been stumped. I am always learning things. One of my sprinter vans started complaining about traction control and the steering wheel needed to be held to the left to keep straight on the road, so...

I will post pics of the panels and disconnects if anybody is interested.

Oh, ive built some computers where the complexity DEFINITELY compares with the complexity of building battery packs... Neon, and water blocks, and hard tubing heat formed around obstacles, mounting the paralleled video cards, and getting all the drivers to cooperate... Yeah, ill build batteries...

I kinda like the server rack form factor. 100Ah appears to be a sweet spot for maneuverability and still be compact.

I have argued the holder is an important part of the fuse,as a serious dead short that the t-class fuse is designed to extinguish can compromise the fiberglass body of the fuse, resulting in cable flying loose. Other members posted instructions they interpreted to say I was incorrect, but I...

Getting ready to cook Christmas dishes for the Christmas eve family gathering and... pop... substation for my neighborhood blows... coldest night of the year so far, and Duke says power won't be restored until next evening... My stash of batteries powered a space heater on low for 4 hours...

Actually, as a licensed hvac contractor, I can confirm radiant heat makes a room FAR more comfortable to human occupants that simple btu’s would imply. No, the room will not increase in temperature, but YOU will be more comfortable. Radiant heat directly warms your body, and the wall surface...

Please. Please. Keep posts to information on your own results. Do not respond to other member results please do not argue about who is doing what and why. I will be giving 1 point warnings for argumentive posts.

I do have a $6000 check sitting in my drawer… I REALLY ought to pay off bills, but…

She has gotten an electrician out and has heat and partial power now.

Not really that amazing... this site ROCKS! And keeping out advertising and argumentative postings really helps build a solid site. Not to mention the brains here willing and able to help all of us out of jams. it will likely grow beyond 10Million members in the near future.

Thank you for the warning, but ANY seller following these practices needs to be exposed in this forum. Companies do not deserve anonymity shielding their crooked tactics. You aren’t making fake claims, you are posting a real scam they are stealing from you. Please post the company info.
