    95% Furnace in Garage

    The unit needs to be lower or the pipes? From what I understand from the sales rep is you have the unit lower and there's a drain on the inducer motor.

    95% Furnace in Garage

    Hey guys so I called alpine home air products, the salesman suggested I buy a high efficient furnace so I can just run the intake and exhaust air pipes right out the side of the garage instead of up through the ceiling. From the unit to the wall is 16'. 1/4" per foot raise would be a 4" drop...

    Garage Heater

    Hey Mike I checked the dimensions of the 62,000 and it's going to be tricky to mount it on the wall it's pretty big and I have some permanent things mounted already. I only have one wall I can mount it on and it has a door and window already as well as the other things. I was looking at a sealed...

    Garage Heater

    Hey Mike I'm frustrated now. Is the 62,000 just the same as a hanging unit as far as the way it heats and blows air through a heat exchanger? It says that it's a radiant heater online and I was trying to stay away from a radiant because I want my floor, tools, ect warm when I'm working.

    Hey Firehawkmph thanks for the input! Why would you choose a direct vent over like a Modine hot dawg? The reason I ask is I found one at Home Depot for 699 vs the direct vent for over a 1000. I have heard a lot about moisture in the air do you know if it's from a ventless unit or a sealed...

    Do you have to run an exhaust vent? How much do they run? Why do you prefer gas over electric? I can't find any pros or cons anywhere. Thank you

    Garage Heater

    Hey everyone I need to put a heater in my garage for this upcoming winter. I can hang a gas heater in the corner and have my friend that's a plumber run the gas line (he owes me) and the hanging units are cheap. Option 2 is buy a hanging electric. I'm skeptical about these. Or I can buy a couple...

    My washing machine shakes!

    So my house is fairly new, the floor is level and strong. My washer just vibrates way bad when spinning. Nothing sounds loose or rattles. I believe it's an older maytag I'll look when I get home. Pretty much when I do a load of laundry it shimmies side to side front to back
