If you’re worried about issues with air quality, shit the heaters of, vacuum them out, vacuum underneath, and keep your house clean in general you’ll be fine.
My whole house has electric heat. There are benefits to electric: no ductwork, doesn’t take up a lot of space, cheap to install & repair if necessary, heat every room independently, 100% efficiency, maintenance free, just vacuum them out occasionally to deduct dust burning smell, no worries with gas or oil leaks, no carbon monoxide hazards, don’t have to worry about an HVAC furnace breaking down and costing thousands to fix, don’t have to worry about running out of oil. I like it, I like the simplicity and reliability. Yes they are more expensive but there are new smart thermostats from Mysa. You need Wi-Fi to do it, and you can control all the thermostats through the Mysa app. You can set a schedule for hearing, install geo fencing, and lower temps to 55 for parts of the house you’re not in.
class A fire rated would mean that it doesn't get fire at all, like basaltic wool, but sheeps wool gets fire , but it doesn't spread it. In Romania we've got LanaTerm producer, which wool insulation is fire rated as E class
I want to use a 48 inch electric baseboard , which would be mounted at the base of a wall with a large picture window . My wife needs the heat to keep her legs warm while working from her work desk . We have two splits in place , but this does not help her at the front window where she works . Is the 48 in electric heater an option ?
Hemp insulation is very difficult to produce because no hemp plant grows the same. Hard to create an efficient production when dealing with material variables. There is a production plant in Idaho but that is the only one in the United States at this time that I am aware of. Hats off to those folks taking such a big risk.
I’m all for any and all innovations and sustainable materials to insulate a home or business but good Lord you drug out the cost that long. Not exactly a product that is really sustainable in the sense of cost.
we are renovating our late 1800 house in quebec. we are installing high efficiency mini splits and are considering installing baseboard or convectors as supplementary heat source. Which one would you recommend? If useful, the house has 10 foot ceilings. Thanks!
Sorry but bring in a professional ringer does no credit to the vidio. Your daughter is obviously a professional installer. Look at her pink outfit so obvious 🤣😂👍🏼. Ps- I hope you paid her well in ice cream and chocolate.
😂 all electric emission, free house???? That’s the most contradictory statement I think Iv ever herd. By using all electric everything you’re actually producing more emissions because where does the electricity come from natural gas and nuclear? A small % come from true eco friendly sources.. It’s actually a lot cheaper and cleaner to run fossil fuels. The government is not her friend. They are not here to help you. The government wants you to suffer and die And that is literally all they care about.
how does the heat exchange occurs exactly in such a small volume? and since its called an ERV it must transfer the humidity. How does it do that if the two halves are on different walls?
I know this is an old video but i have a question: I'm going to be having my bathroom remodeled and the floor plan will be bigger (will be 12x6x8). The math is just under 75 CFM. Do i go with an 80 or do I go bigger? Im installing a shower, vanity and toilet as well
Electric space heaters really Jack up the electric bill. Are these more efficient? Is it cheaper to heat your home with electric baseboard heat or gas furnace?
Would rather have a 3 or 3.5 gallon tank and flush once than these smaller ones you have to flush multiple times. I have an old 3 gallon tank in the basement. Will be holding onto that for dear life for sure.
Ecobalanza out of Seattle. I think they've been in business for almost 20 years. Full transparency and only natural, non-toxic and certified materials. We love our sofa from them.
Can it bring some smells from outside in? Like do they bring in a little bit in when the flap is open ? I've can smell stuff from outside sometimes when it's on. It vents outside I think to the roof
Personally I'm huge advocate for dedicated push by government to discontinue both domestic gas and tv/phone cables. Both electricity and internet are actually far more cabable and efficient means to transport data and power. And unlike what might come to mind, both are more resilient and versatile too. Kinda doesn't make sense to keep up this expensive infrastructure, and in case of gas, it can be quite dangerous too.
I would have thought determining if it’s an asbestos abatement job would have been the first step, but it wasn’t even mentioned except for going to the dump with your pile of hazmat in your trailer and your lungs.
I'm interested in this for a basement living space with no current ventilation other than windows. The scenario I have would be to install through the rim joist, which would then need to angle down 90 degrees to the finished basement ceiling. I'm wondering if this requirement for an elbow can be accommodated?
What to do if there is a free floating chimney that is locked in the middle of the house that is over the living room with nothing standing it. The house is one hundred years old
