Matt, why didn't your magazine spring jump out when you removed magazine spring retainer?

Great product, however, using the OSB strips is a really horrible idea. Far more difficult to nail and screw into than fine. I agree with you with the crap from the home centers. It’s warped and it’s not a full three-quarter inch thick. I’m gonna lay some quality information on you from my 40 years of experience, don’t buy anything from the box doors 90% of it is crap go to a real lumberyard and get real one by three furring strips and you will find their far superior to anything at the centers. They’re straighter are to the correct size and you can probably get them in a furring strip grade or a one by three, which is even better

How much water do you think this would save?

Good for Australia, very arid

Two plumbers told me that, in their opinion, the only advantage of a tankless heater was the space saving. The cost, at least here in Ontario, Canada, for a tankless unit is a LOT more than a tank unit. It's at least twice the cost to purchase a quality unit and even a rental is about 25% more expensive. Both plumbers told me that a tankless unit needs more maintenance. I have a rental tank unit and love it. Rent is less than $30 monthly and I get any service calls for free. I had the old unit (it was about 10 years old) replaced a while back and a new, larger unit cost me nothing. I'll stay with the tank unit.

So you never turn it off and switch to LP on your own due to loss of efficiency at certain temps (say, 20 degrees or below)? You always wait till it turns itself off? In other words, is it still more efficient than LP until it shuts off on its own?

HOW MANY degree-days in your heating season???

Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I ruclips.net/user/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!

*Promo sm* 😻

This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh 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).

Nice video thank you for sharing 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏

Europe here. As somebody mentioned before, mini-splits are the default form of AC/heat pumps sold (unlike the USA there are no cooling-only units sold). They're a really popular choice here for older buildings without central heating, weekend houses, and even a lot of houses use them for heating nowadays. Worth noting most people use single-zone systems; multi-splits are rare. Most ACs (we call any air-to-air heat pump an "AC") do the cooling pretty well, but it's the heating that really sets apart a good AC from a Chinese unit. Nothing against the Chinese units (hell there is one Chinese AC that proved itself repeatedly to be a great option for heating) but the Japanese still are the boss. A list of what I'd personally recommend: 1. Mitsubishi Electric. By far the top dog when it comes to heating. Anything that supports a "VGHZ" HyperCore outdoor unit is worth a buy. Twin rotary compressor, pan and compressor heating and an insanely well adjusted PCB that allows for 100% operation down to -15°C and stable operation down to -25°C. 2. Panasonic. The AC of choice here is the KIT-VZ12-SKE Hypercharge. Goes down to -30°C of efficient heating and is also the only unit to blow continuously warm air even when defrosting. Only downside is somewhat worse efficiency than the Mitsu HyperCore. 3. Fujitsu. Any Fujitsu. KM, LL and LU have proven themselves to be really great units, though nowhere as fancy as a Mitsu or Panasonic Hypercharge. 4. Gree Amber Premium. Best the Chinese can offer. It's got somewhat worse modulation on cooling than any of the other units on the list but when it heats it's an absolute monster.

love to see you posting again! thanks for the lumps!

Water filter pitcher and a better coffee grinder and some good speciality coffee ☕🎉 moka pots are great!

"prepped for shit that never happened" Same man, same.

Im also in Michigan (northern) and have 1 12k pioneer unit and love it for my attached home office. It works below zero but is probably more optimized for above zero. I am ready to buy a 36k tri head unit for the rest of the house. Hopefully im oversized to make up for older house walls and will make ample amounts of heat.

Would this be any good for people 6' 4" tall?

The bad stuff shown here does contain a very thin sheet of foil (or maybe two, I have no idea), but there's a plastic liner inside (or between the two sheets). Obviously that thin sheet of foil isn't going to hold up if the plastic lining catches on fire. Unfortunately, the semi-rigid duct is a pain to work with (and in some cases, you might need two of them), but it's worth it for the elimination of the fire hazard. Just don't use it anywhere the duct goes through the wall or floor, anywhere hidden in the walls or floors, or anywhere downstream of a built-in duct.

Lose your belly fat = will go a long way to relieve pain from your back.

how much do they cost?

Matt, we recently bought an 80 to 100 old house and had it moved to our land in the counrty. I tried to locate the unit about the same distance from all faucets. There is about a 20 or so delay before the water is hot. I'm considering installing a small instant on electric heater under each faucet to eliminate the delay & water waist. Have you done anything like this?

how can the lumbar support be adjusted?

It’s supply an entire house ? Lol so is a regular hot water tank . Typically if you have 1 inch coming into the house should be fine

Nicely explained! Thank you.

I'm assuming this isn't nearly as easy on a slab house.

Great video! Question for you…Would u know why my heater won’t turn on? There’s no display on circuit board when turned on. Is there a reset button somewhere? Model NR240

I'm building new home in nebraska. 1400sq ft ranch. Then basement. Wondering about best ductless option. How many units etc. Or where to get info to size etc

I love most everything about this chair EXCEPT for the very hard lumbar support cushion. I don't see a way to remove it though. Anyone know how it can be removed ? I feel like I 'm getting an Accupressure treatment that never ends ! lol

I just ordered the glue you used. I've been using super glue and end up gluing my fingers together. Yuck! I hope this will work on gluing pebbles to fabric.

Its more efficient but we need 2x as much gas as before! I seriously doubt anyone saves money on this system. You are using so much gas when i turn on the faucet for 30 seconds. Which is probably how long itll take for the hot water to get to my room. Seriously you could just get a bigger water tank. If you were crazy and put it on a timer so its got no power while you sleep. Guess what the water would still be hot when you woke up. And you would save even more. Look it takes like 30 minutes to boil water? Well you are doing it in 5 seconds. It takes how much concentrated heat for that? 170 amps at any needed moment… 2x gas pressure? Hmm nah. Infact if you had a water heater that was 500 gallons you would be able to shower once a day for a week without any power. Hot water. And imagine if everyone had that? Oh well the gas pressure is low everyone showers around 9pm. Imagine if they were all electric? Poof blue smoke of dead transformers.

How does the single head do on cooling/heating whole house? I have a 650 square foot house and am trying to avoid two heads

The point is well taken but they are UL tested.

The Navien Unit is capable of using a 1/2" gas line as stated by Navien."Navien if the intake air is aduquit there is no need for a intake line to pull from outside.

The only thing that you didn't mention was how many BTU's the unit was, hopefully it's 9000 because that's what I'm having installed into my place right now.

Thanks for the instructions. Got mine at a yard sale. Thanks Matt!

Nice story and good to hear how well it has worked out for you. I have 3 mini splits in my full electrical house plus the wood stove so my saving is a little different. Before the mini, I just used electrical floor board heaters. Those ran a pretty buck over the season. Now, I have a 115V -9K BTU mini split turned on 24/7 at 70 degrees in my son's room and the electrical draw is so little, I dont see the difference on my monthly bill. However, I also have an 18K BTU in the main floor and plus a 12k BTU in the master beddroom, both tied to a 230v- 30K BTU condenser outside. This is a different story. I have had to learn how to use it in the most effective way possible because keeping it on 24/7 Is defintely not an option with the electrical draw. I warm the house with the wood stove then run the mini to maintain the temp. At other times, I run the mini to warm up the house then let the wood stove keep the heating thereafter. It has worked out so far but still learning how to use it and watching my electrical usage til I get this down packed. Still experimenting and learning. Thanks for sharing your story.

All the stats only apply if all of the gas unit's are being used at the same time. Much like with electrical, you plan based on the usage. On a 15 or 20 amp circuit, odds are, you will not be running everything on that circuit at the same time.

So; run the boiler on induction!

Great common sense video, Thanks

Great insight while I consider switching from to Tank to tankless. Thanks!

Hey Matt, What’s the current cost per net therm to heat with your boiler burning propane vs the heat pump at 47 & 17f. How much do you suppose of the 164 watts is available as useful heat vs lost at the outdoor unit?

My electric tankless only requires 100 amps. Wasn’t too bad to upgrade.

What about ELECTRIC TANKLESS WATER HEATERS?!! We don't have gas out here in the sticks!

Could you give us some idea of how maintenance the inside unit requires yearly? It seems some people think this needs done a lot while others not so much. Did you clean your filters monthly?

So did you realize before you installed the system that you'd STILL be wearing a heavy wool sweater to stay comfortable in your own house during the chilly winter months?

living inside he sure has a lot of cloths on they night work for 1 room but you need to add other units for other room cost goes up power bill go up

the only problem is you can only heat 1 area you have to add for other rooms then the cost goes up for add on then the cost goes up

Dang, I just saw this video after using the whole tank of heating oil in one month 😢 that's $1600 in heating alone. The temperature set for the vacant property was 55F and it used the whole tank. Now I have to select this house since I can't afford to spend tha I h money$1,600 x 4.

$4,100? That’s a lot. In other countries you can get one with installation for less than $1,000 total.
