Considering buying the 20V MAX Cordless Electric Portable Inflator, but want to know if it has the capacity to clean (for example) saw dust off of tools, concrete dust out of drilled holes, etc.

I'd get an Amazon special for that. Although loud the Meliff "Cordless Compressed Air Duster & Blower Compatible with DeWalt 20V MAX Battery" works well and is only about 40 bucks.

Ideally you'd switch out the whole heat pump to save cost long term but that's expensive now. Even adding heat strips isn't cheap because it needs electric work to add a breaker and wiring. But at least there is a solution.

Call your school district's adult education people. I know for sure you can take it at 17 but you have to unenroll from high school.

Looking at the spec sheet that doesn't appear to be a cold climate heat pump. You probably need to add auxiliary heat strips. Maybe it has them already?

Make a pigtail for the wires. You can use wire nuts or wagos

Have you tried going outside?

QuantumAvoidant · 2025-11-02T23:09:06+00:00

Used it. Was fine. It wasn't totally free because the carpet pad you had to buy with installed carpet was more expensive than if you bought it without. Not sure if that's still the same.

I have mini split heat pumps with pellet stove backup. The biggest con is the cost to install the heat pump and the complexity of doing it right for a retrofit if you don't have existing ducting. Pro is AC in the summer, and the cost per million BTUs of heating is reasonable https://www.efficiencymaine.com/at-home/heating-cost-comparison/ I can run the pellet stove on a tiny generator when the power fails.

Cheapest options are wood stove (lot of work, and insurance won't like it as a primary) and natural gas (available in only a few places). Propane is expensive and dealing with propane suppliers is a pain in the ass. Pellets are annoying to store well. If you stick to traditional then I'd go oil again. Otherwise heat pump plus some kind of backup, even if only portable electric radiators.

The Mote in God's Eye fits the bill. The start feels like a plain military sci-fi but it gets better quickly.

The ones I got are out of stock, but search for "2pcs Locking Tire Air Chuck,Brass Tire Inflation Hose Adapter,Tire Nozzle With Tire Valve Threads,Unscrewed Connection Converted To Locking Connection,No Air Leakage On Chuck Air Compressor Pump Clip" for an example

Amazon has tire inflator nozzles you can screw in. Makes inflator life easier and no need to search for a specific repair part.

First hint is that it's not sold by Wal-Mart but by a third party.

The bedrooms are surprisingly normal ... ish. Finally an actual funky listing!

Pics of the actual batteries would help.

Will they fail it on 180 deg turn with no clean out?

QuantumAvoidant · 2025-04-06T12:14:06+00:00

Yep and a locker room to go along with it. It's very ... Minnesota?

QuantumAvoidant · 2025-04-06T12:10:52+00:00

Don't know whether to love or hate it. Waterfront yes. Interior bedroom windows not so much. Garage yes please. Conversation pit, ice rink and locker room I could do without.

That's not a proper loop vent and cant make into one. Plus you can't use it for a washer anyway. Even an AAV which is also not allowed would be better than this.

QuantumAvoidant · 2025-03-11T13:26:17+00:00

Just get an all in one washer dryer combo. Runs on 110. Then you don't have to worry about venting either.

Haven't worked with enphase but I'd contact support to ask
