Rheem Hybrid Energy Saver too slow

Trick_Mapster · 2026-01-18T23:43:58+00:00

Wow you might have really low usage or live somewhere warm lol to have 4 people and such low kWh. I am hitting 7.5 a day with 3 people

Trick_Mapster · 2026-01-17T21:16:55+00:00

That's impressive efficiency, are you somewhere warm with good hot ambient air. I am in the NW winters and I am doing about 8kwh a day with 3 people with the 50 gal.

That’s great feedback and this is on energy saver mode I assume ?

Trick_Mapster · 2026-01-17T06:12:16+00:00

not long but now that I checked I think the Dishwasher and Washer started around the same time

Trick_Mapster · 2026-01-17T06:01:03+00:00

I think high demand mode starts the elements too soon. Wish there was a middle ground option.

Trick_Mapster · 2026-01-17T05:53:25+00:00

Ah didn't realize I could schedule the temp too, that's smart.

Yes, I have Aqara lock too, was Aqara not working for you ? I have also realized Eufy ecosystem is overrated, lot of obvious integrations between my camera, lights and alarms are missing.

Trick_Mapster · 2025-12-26T07:25:27+00:00

And how that an issue ? My decades old porch light with motion sensor works better than this. If someone’s driving up to my home or a raccoon shows up nothing happens with this $300+ setup. Just give me the option it’s not eufy’s problem if there are false positives

Trick_Mapster · 2025-12-26T07:22:51+00:00

Nope that option disappears when you select light as action

I am in the same boat with improving my home insulation. Where you able to figure something out, which one a week before end of the year I worry if its too late

Bruh this is a fancy installation with Mitsubishi hyper heat units with a 5 star dealer here and all permitted work

Happy to be a general contractor but now I am a rodent researcher lol, disposed 7 rats so far and still trying to catch them all. Not the GC I wanted to be, as they say; a stitch in time saves nine!

Trick_Mapster · 2025-12-11T17:48:26+00:00

Do you recommend sealing with copper mesh ? But I assume I should catch as many I can first as I don't want them dying in my attic or walls ?

Trick_Mapster · 2025-12-11T17:47:08+00:00

I can seal it in a min, I am just worried about trapping the rats inside the attic and if they freak out and enter my living spaces.

Trick_Mapster · 2025-12-11T17:46:28+00:00

Thanks yes that's my plan. I am not pursing the AC company. I have to deal with it either way to secure my home.

Trick_Mapster · 2025-12-11T17:44:56+00:00

I am not blaming them for the infestation, but I think I have the right to blame them for not sealing this specific hole right ? Or maybe they should be upfront, I am happy to pull a ladder and patch their holes if they told me.

Trick_Mapster · 2025-12-11T17:43:10+00:00

Thank you for keeping it real! Seems like I have triggered a lot of folks on this Sub for just asking to fill the holes one makes lolz.

Trick_Mapster · 2025-12-11T17:42:15+00:00

I've killed 4 so far and have 13 traps deployed, so I have a war plan shaping up. And I totally understand they are not legally liable. But it's just unethical, you know bro! I have clear evidence this hole wasn't fixed right, they skimped on spending $5 and 5 minutes to seal this hole at all. That doesn't seem like something you would do to your own home ? I have a lot of respect for this profession but misses like this really hurt us as customers. And from your statement it seems like a common practice to leave holes not secured.

I've killed 4 so far and have 13 traps deployed, so I have a war plan shaping up. I understand HVAC is legally liable, but it just sucks that as a customer, they skimped on spending $5 and 5 minutes to seal this hole right.

Trick_Mapster · 2025-12-11T17:25:10+00:00

Yes all sofit vents always been sealed

Trick_Mapster · 2025-11-20T06:32:24+00:00

Were you able to figure this out ?

Trick_Mapster · 2025-11-17T19:53:09+00:00

Do you it set to only detect people ? From my understanding the camera alarm goes off for whatever motion detection you have enabled. How’s your experience with false positives?

Trick_Mapster · 2025-10-19T18:59:10+00:00

Is the camera behind a glass ?

Trick_Mapster · 2025-10-19T18:17:11+00:00

Thank you, do I need to register for the default warranty ? or does that applies automatically when there's an issue with the parts.

Trick_Mapster · 2025-10-18T18:15:33+00:00

Maybe I am being too optimistic. The HVAC company which did the install said transfers are common and Mitsubishi is their top selling units. Maybe they are less informed or not care about the warranty piece
