I only subscribed because this guy gave the best and most informative breakdown on these vent systems. I might buy a couple extra vents just for back up. Thanks.
Furthermore when in the winter the temperature is -30 having to heat that freezing cold combustion temperature is even harder. Temperature rise also makes a huge difference in heating water. Trying to heat water from 40f to 140f is a 100f degree rise. That makes ot work very hard
This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. ru-vid.comUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).
Good info, but my plumber installed it outside under the eaves, BUT ONLY ABOUT 12 inche top outside vent, but the city inspector tagged it because the manufacturer tag states in needs 36"top clearance!!
I need some information… I live in a mobile home where my hot water take sits within inches of my electrical panel I’m having difficulty finding out a mobile home system that works with propane . We loose power a lot and we have a generator I feel like I need to move it away from the electrical. I think to hire an electrician to move my panel will be very expensive compared to upgrading to hot water tankless system. Suggestions would be so helpful. I’m a single mom and don’t want to make a expensive mistake I’ll regret
