Electricity use isn’t as bad as people might think because you avoid those big draws of power that are needed when starting up the motor from idle.

That’s why I let my personal vehicles idle 24/7, to avoid the bad mileage from stop and go traffic.

Vehicle starter manufacturers hate this one simple trick!

We put one on our 25 year old shitbox furnace. 4 years ago. Run's great!

It's hilarious how these guys can't operate "outside the box". I hooked up an entire relay/bypass system for $30 so I could control the fan from upstairs without the thermostat, but they can't get a normal blower to come on without changing half the furnace?

This is because the newer generation of tradesmen are being taught with procedures instead of the fundamentals. They dont understand how they work by the basics so troubleshooting or "thinking outside the box" is difficult. They all refer to a manual that says, if this light blinks then do....else replace.

You want an 'outside the box' install on your life and safety critical heating equipment? Ok then. Have at it, homeowner.

Im not sure you get what i am saying. I never said redneck engineered or slapped together with duct tape. I am saying, is that many of these guys have no clue how the equipment actually works, whats needed to make it run (safely) and how to retrofit. The just right to, oh you need new.

Plus, your kind of overblowing HVAC as being "life and safety critical heating equipment". Its a furnace. Makes heat by burning natural gas. Its not rocket appliance corey.

A lot of guys aren’t willing to ‘fuck around and find out’. It’s a business, they exist to make money and are liable if your house blows up or the heat goes out freezing your water lines. Experimentation doesn’t fit well here.
