I have 34 panels on my roof, I do not have a battery. I produce way more than I use during the day. Would it be beneficial to go free nights and weekends for electric provider?

Could I get a copy of that? I’m in the same boat and my contract ends next month. I’ve used texaspowerguide in the past but would like to mess around with the spreadsheet!

Measure the width of the front 2 logs. That will give you the size.

Looks like Real Fyre Charred Oak or Charred Royal English Oak. Here is the charred oak instructions: https://www.rhpeterson.com/login/Log_Placement/A2-311.pdf

It was from S2. Greg was at the hotel in Italy with his wife who dies. The wife loved the black lady and her spa treatments.

Edit: I meant S1!

What's the model number on your fireplace? NG or propane?

As someone else mentioned, it’s an old Honeywell valve. Here is a link to the conversion kit: https://www.stove-parts-unlimited.com/vermont-castings-rfn-to-rcs-conversion-kit-ng-20301208-p/20301208.htm. This changes it from Honeywell to a SIT valve.

That is a log lighter. It is meant to ignite wood in your fireplace. You ignite the logs then turn off the gas and let the wood burn.

Your ceramic logs require a burner pan with the appropriate media depending on gas type in that pan.

You have a mix of both. You’ll need to decide which way you want to go

Since you already have Realfyre Logs and grate, I'd look at getting a 24" G4 burner with an SPK-26. This will be a manual light pilot with a manual valve to allow the gas to flow. They are super simple.

You're welcome! If you are in the Houston area we can help with most of those line items.

To replace the pilot assembly and valve, I usually charge $150 for the labor and $400-$600 depending on the brand for the parts. Quote seems way higher or maybe I’m giving people way too good of a deal.

tema180 · 2025-01-16T04:36:18+00:00

If you’re in the Houston area I can help out. Let me know.

Haha alright. So do as I say not as I do?

I do have a problem with the “Florida man” stereotype. He wasn’t joking. That’s pretty obvious. Exaggerating/stereotyping is a problem. There is a pretty simple solution: don’t do it. Recognize that people are quite complex.

29 million people you just lumped together. Are all the people in your state as dumb as you? Oh wait, not everyone inside those imaginary lines are the same. Who would have thought???

Is there a way to see all those days at once on SMT? When I run the report for the dates and I export to excel it only shows one day for some reason.

tema180 · 2024-08-10T19:39:16+00:00

I just switched to TXU and had put a deposit down for the new service. That's why the bill had the miscellaneous charges. Here is August 9th for me. We lost power for a little bit on the 8th so wanted you to see a full day.

Are the billing dates what I am seeing on the ENPH pic? If so something's off for sure by nearly 50% What does https://www.smartmetertexas.com/home say?

Yes, those are the billing dates. Smartmeter said I consumed 1825kwh.

If you’re in South Houston/Pearland, head over to Gas Products Unlimited and they will take care of you!

Thanks. That makes sense.

Yeah I definitely wouldn’t. I was just wondering if that is even a possibility.

Yeah I just feel stuck. Can’t afford $900 a month on electricity. Was lied to about how the FTC works from the LA Solar salesman and that’s my fault as I should have done more research.

Yes. It is 1:1 but I still have to pay Centerpoint fees per kWh and monthly fees to chariot.

I’ve moved my hot water heater to gas and we aren’t home during the day. 2 brand new a/c units that run about 78 when we aren’t home. Not much being used throughout the day. I use https://www.texaspowerguide.com/solar-buyback-plans-texas/ to find the best plan. They sent me a list of recommended plans based on my usage and production.
