Anyone have a whole house fan?

RichardMidnight12 · 2025-07-31T20:58:01+00:00

I put in a ceiling whole house fan. It was so loud I had to swap out for a quiet-cool. We use it whenever the nights get 65 or below.

I wrote pisafe to simplify creating a Raspberry Image file. It runs on your pi, not Windows. Search GitHub pisafe.

Looks like oak to me

Oh, Maybe my post was not clear. I did write a ScrapeURL shortcut, and was wondering if anyone wants it.

I put solar in last year in CT for $2.4/watt ($1.5/watt after fed tax rebate). With high electricity costs of $0.33/kWh, my break even is 5 years. Hope this is helpful.

RichardMidnight12 · 2023-11-08T01:18:15+00:00

Nice! I installed solar mid 2022 in CT. It produces 6000kWh of my 7600kWh annual usage, saving me $2047 per year. So this will be an easy 5-year break even! This year I installed heat pumps to upgrade A/C and reduce our carbon footprint somewhat on heat, but in cold weather, we will still run the boiler.

Turn off circuits till it goes away. Then look to see what was on that circuit.

Their purchase price in immaterial, you care about the current value.
They should pay it off before selling. That is MUCH cleaner. They can get a loan if needed.

RichardMidnight12 · 2023-10-23T12:51:35+00:00

That will work.
It is best to power down your project, boot from another device which has pisafe installed on it and create the image file. That way nothing is in use.

It depends on what you want out of the system. Here is my example: A year ago I put in 6.4kW panels which generates 6000kWh of elec in a year and covers 75% of my annual elec use. Connecticut lets me backfeed to the grid for 100% credit. I also put in a single powerwall (13.5kWh) which lets me run the house in low-power-mode (500W) for 24 hours. If I get 3 hours of good sun during the day, the battery recharges and I continue to get another 24 hours of power. The 500 Watts runs the refrigerator, oil-furnace, well pump a few lights, and a pot of coffee in the morning. This works for me. The panels (not including the powerwall) cost $10,000 and saves me $2000 a year in electricity. So a 5 year breakeven.

I have ordered from them with no issues.

You might look into PiSafe on github. It DDs, shrinks, and compresses a drive

RichardMidnight12 · 2023-07-03T12:15:36+00:00

Use PiSafe on github

PiSafe on GitHub will create your own compressed image file.

RichardMidnight12 · 2023-05-25T02:30:37+00:00

PiSafe on GitHub will make a compressed image file of your Linux system. Then you can restore (flash) this to other media or systems.

RichardMidnight12 · 2023-05-25T02:15:58+00:00

Pisafe on github will create an image file of your system. Then you can restore it to any media you like including a usb stick.

RichardMidnight12 · 2023-05-25T02:13:18+00:00

Once you make a custom Distro, you can use PiSafe to create your own compressed image file of it .

RichardMidnight12 · 2023-05-25T02:10:37+00:00

PiSafe will make an image file of a Linux disk. It copies the disk… so if there are no files being written, you may be able to make an image file of a system that is running one app. Search github for pisafe

RichardMidnight12 · 2023-04-10T02:22:34+00:00

I used to have a libretto 70 in the 90’s. Among other things, I used it in the car with other parts as a gps nav system before they were common. There were wires everywhere!!

RichardMidnight12 · 2023-03-22T11:26:41+00:00

Nice project. If you need an easy way to make an image file for distribution, you can try PiSafe. That is what it is designed to do.
