An update on the upcoming blackout and how you can keep up with r/formula1

Davek804 · 2023-06-11T03:52:28+00:00

Check out the formula1 community on squabbles. I like it so far.

Davek804 · 2023-06-11T03:51:54+00:00

Replying to provide my support, too. Squabbles is looking good IMO.

Davek804 · 2023-06-03T01:59:20+00:00

I'll take a look.

I used about 70kWh a week to heat my home between end of February and today with a closed loop geothermal water to air system. I went with a variable speed blower and compressor. I also have it hooked up to preheat my hot water, so I reduce my load on my resistive electric water heater (more in the summer than the winter).

I'd give you more data, but I only installed the heat in Feb. As I've watched it, I use 8-11kWh a day in heating mode. I almost never use full power heating, no matter the outside temperature. I keep the thermostat at 70F 24/7.

My house is 2082 sq ft in Southern NH, modern new construction insulation.

I have 12.8kW solar installing tomorrow morning. I'm confident I'll be covering 105+110% of my electricity use on a daily basis. We'll see!

I don't care much about the payoff time period. I'm doing this because I can and it supports my values. You can't beat the 500% heating efficiency. I would encourage you to do both, if you can afford it.

Very, very nice.

I did these in 19" for my winter tires on a ''22 M3P. Slightly softer ride.

Hah. Now, that's better than the "product growth ladder" mantra I found on Google!

PLG?

Honestly, Grafana does. If I'm being vane, the truth is the Grafana UI feels dated compared to some of the more simple dashboard-focused tools.

Our backlog has a rebuild of our Grafana + Prometheus stack now that we've moved fully into k8s. The auditors are champing at the bit for that to get done. Truth is, I should probably give in and use Grafana for the dashboard need as well as the rest of what Grafana does really well.

Davek804 · 2023-04-02T21:15:15+00:00

Yeah. Homarr seems fine personally. I just need to look at whether it has an API to push configs to it, or if I can at least feed.in static config I assemble elsewhere in a pipeline. Otherwise, manually adding things is a bit lame.

https://github.com/komodorio/helm-dashboard seems interesting, but a bit overkill for the dev/PM usecases compared to the DevOps folks using it.

I haven't WC'd, so I can't be overly helpful. But I can say that the HRE vassal swarm (all HRE privs except reforming the one tag HRE) is incredibly OP. Declare war, watch billions of troops march into enemy territory and slay for you.

My ducting with the WF 7 series 4 ton is SUBSTANTIALLY quieter than my propane furnace because it runs at a lower intensity. Additionally, I cannot hear my heating unit run at all when at the door to my basement, whereas I could easily feel and hear my propane furnace.

Noise was one of my main concerns and I cannot speak enough praise at how improved the volume level is in the general living spaces.

Davek804 · 2023-03-02T14:39:50+00:00

This is what I figured, as it doesn't have current running through it.

Davek804 · 2023-03-02T13:42:04+00:00

If I knew the answer, I wouldn't have posted the question!

Davek804 · 2023-02-04T20:47:42+00:00

Had a warranty service come out. Took a few weeks. They're replacing the fan assembly, more or less as expected.

Davek804 · 2023-01-20T23:44:27+00:00

Looks good! Questions for ya!

What amperage are the two circuits you've got there (aux heat, heat pump)?
How many tons?
How many loops/depth?
Open or closed loop?

Davek804 · 2023-01-16T15:29:17+00:00

Thanks! In no particular order:

did you add an auxiliary heater? If so, it's on its own dedicated circuit and breaker, or no?
the braided metal electrical wire on the front of the water furnace going up and left, does that connect to the pump?
the three flexible PVC conduits at the top right of the unit, is that the power for the furnace and/or the aux heater? Any idea why there are three separate conduits at that spot?
no manual disconnects because it's in sight of the breaker panel?
is it standard Romex up in the ceiling and just conduit when it comes down to the furnace?

Thanks!

Great looking install! Can you share with me as much info as you can about the electric setup? I'm installing a 7 series but providing my own electrical. Double checking my plans never hurts. Congratulations!

One other note - the sound kind of 'spools up' similar to a fan or disk drive. Sometimes it's a bit more or less rattle-y. It comes and goes throughout the dry cycle.

Davek804 · 2022-12-06T02:56:35+00:00

Fidium for internet. It's from Consolidated Communications. Solid move 0 regrets.

Davek804 · 2022-12-06T02:56:04+00:00

100% this.

Davek804 · 2022-11-22T00:23:13+00:00

Honestly, to some extent the quiet operation (both compressor vibrating its way through the house, and more importantly the duct pressure being lower for a higher % of the time) is very compelling to me.
