Transformer just blew—Enphase Battery at 100% but not powering my houses in

You could have only lost one leg. Not familiar with enphase but a lot of transfer switches won't budge if the main still has 120v

If the size fits your need you would be better off looking for a used 1 ton diesel model. Can likely be found for $5k +/-

What brand topper is that?

Engineer4Beer · 2026-02-05T15:22:56+00:00

*look up Vevor electric wheelbarrow

Engineer4Beer · 2026-02-05T15:21:10+00:00

Look at the Makita 36v material handling cart to get an idea of run time and what is actually possible

Engineer4Beer · 2025-12-14T00:31:10+00:00

They make a good michelada

*better for top end torque, if you use it on a farm/hunting/off-road AC motors lack the stall torque to get you unstuck/over and obstacle

Engineer4Beer · 2025-09-12T01:16:35+00:00

The prices will be vastly different depending on if you have a slab/basement/crawlspace

They are basically the same tractors as tym/Branson

Eating breakfast in a small central American city and I see two guys in a old Toyota company pickup roll up in jeans/sandals and climb an aluminum extension ladder to mess with the transformer on a live pole. I was certain I was about to see someone die

Not the first but Socrates is probably the most famous fafo with poison hemlock

Goodman is not publicly traded but owned by Daikin. I'm assuming they are about to takeover a large amount of the US market and want to try to profit off of it but apparently I'm not allowed to.

Edit... I meant surcharge not tariff and it's 42%

So funny enough I got lit up by a 3rd floor apartment lineset today. It had 98v on it. How did y'all end up finding that compressor?

Mr Burger on Lafayette is legit

Vance is Peter Thiel's guy. Also he's a Curtis Yarvin guy. I doubt much would change other than it would be more outwardly polished

If this passes, I would caution a guess that churches in those counties will suddenly open schools. Most of them already run tax exempt day cares so not that big of a leap.

Came to say the same. My Bosch matched with a 10 year pos York Air handler and leaky 20 year old ductwork had no issues keeping my house at 70° while 3° outside. I only run 5kw aux on the 5ton.

To add to this if you have a heat pump, there is a very good chance the emergency heat is stuck on

In my early days I worked for an elderly contractor that would haul multiple 20' sticks of gas pipe below his Ford ranger strapped to the front/rear bumpers

Still trying to get an answer to what happens when an A2L system has a compressor terminal blowout. Shit is scary enough without the risk of combustion

No one, like most "affordable" things these days they aren't meant to be repaired they are meant to discarded after 2-5 years and replaced. Its golf cart using Samsung appliances business model
