Any smart heat tape controllers? - GreenBuildingAdvisor - heat tape should not cost 100's month unless you have ALOT If you don't have sensors on your panel, get a plug with an energy meter (see above for Hubitat, but there are many others; people seem to particularly like the Emporias, but they do require wifi internet That will tell you exactly how much each plugged in heat tape is using
Better alternative to heat tape for downspouts This year I fished two runs of roof melt heat tape through the downspout This works when the weather is not very cold, stops working bellow -10 deg C (14 F), which is where I need it to work It doesn’t put out enough heat to melt the ice, just enough to allow it to drain It is also a huge energy waste (~10 kWh day)
What type of tape can I use around pex pipe? - GreenBuildingAdvisor Hello, I am looking for tape that I can wrap around my pex pipe, where they go through the studs It get's a bit chilly in the winters and want to protect from any potential condensation on the wood Pipe insulation is the obvious, but I would prefer to stay with smaller holes hence the tape I have read from several sources saying that heat tape should not be used on pex pipe, although I am
Alternatives to Heat Tape for Preventing Ice Dams I know heat tape is a solution but it seems incredibly wasteful I know that the typical solution to prevent ice dams is to ensure minimal air leakage between the conditioned space and the roof with appropriate venting, but this seems impossible with an open eave
Sealing Ducts: What’s Better, Tape or Mastic? Closure systems used with rigid fibrous glass ducts shall comply with UL181A and shall be marked181A-P for pressure-sensitive tape, 181A-M for mastic or 181 A-H for heat-sensitive tape Closure systems used with flexible air ducts and flexible air connectors shall comply with UL 181B and shall be marked181B-FX for pressure-sensitive tape or
High Efficiency Furnace in Ventilated Attic Frozen condensate will block drains, resulting in furnace shutdown If the drain line cannot be installed in a conditions space, then UL listed heat tape should be applied as required to prevent freezing The heat tape should be rated at 5 or 6 watts per foot at 120 volts ”
Insulated well covers that won’t need aux heat for zone 4? Are they buried or in conduit? If the are in conduit it is probably large enough to accommodate another 2-12 wires Just pull a couple more wires and place an outlet for heat tape Just build a very small doghouse like structure with lots insulation and the heat tape will probably come one very rarely if at all Insulate the pipes themselves as
Preventing Frost on Plumbing Vent - GreenBuildingAdvisor Insulating plumbing vents has been discussed many times here, but always from the “home heat loss” point of view I am trying to find ways to prevent frost clogging, which […]
Minisplit Heat Pumps and Blizzards - GreenBuildingAdvisor A blizzard (a severe snowstorm and sustained winds of over 35 mph) is a challenging weather condition for a minisplit heat pump Recall how an air-source heat pump works: the outdoor unit has a compressor and a fan that blows air across a coil with refrigerant In heating mode, the coil is colder than the outdoor air As air is drawn through the coil, it gives up heat to the coil and leaves
Revisiting Pipe Insulation - GreenBuildingAdvisor (1) Tape the entire joint: Foam pipe sleeves have a self-adhesive face; simply peel off the cover and stick 'em together The problem is that (a) you get what you pay for, and foam pipe sleeves are cheap, and (b) this cheap adhesive gives out over time, opening the foam sleeve to the cool air in your basement - and the foam sleeve doesn't fit
