3 Proposals- which would you pick?
Comments (51)Tiger dunes, show us your numbers. Have you ever tracked customer use? Understanding the experiential base of your comments would help us understand whether to accept or dismiss your claims. Claims about efficiency "if running on low" are hard to reconcile, and cause to question unsupported claims you make. If you have data or anicdotal evidence, please share. PSU, Trane modulates down to 35k or so. This means when load is less than 35k, you basically have an oversized single stage furnace without the heat pump. Knowing when this happens for your house would be very nice. I have a client, 3200 sf 12 year old moderate build quality, 45,000 btu load (60k infinity runs medium stage) at 2f outdoors. Let the equipment tell you, equipment won't lie about load. If you set the pump/furnace switchover properly, the pump will kick in before that point and manage heat replacement down to IT'S minimum output of 1.5 tons before IT effectively becomes oversized single stage. If you are paying 10c/$1 kwh/therm, your breakpoint where gas btu at roughly 90% delivered eff meets your pump is probably between 20-25f. Your dealer should have an equipment specific calculator for this....See MoreWhich would you pick for an LED step light / night light
Comments (4)LOL re "pimples"! true! but we don't actually have that many that are strictly "hallway" (since we don't have a lot of walls) - i think only 3 actually - 2 in the hallway connecting the kids' respective bedrooms (just around the corner from the staircase), and one right outside our bedroom (across from the stair landing). In comparison, there will be 9 others that will be "staircase step lights". To have just 3 being different would make them stand out. our hallway walls are supposed to be off-white (staircase wall will be either plastered or tiled to resemble concrete). We thought about buying white ones to "blend in" but didn't like the "plastic" look :-I...See MoreThe great debate: Which range would you pick if...
Comments (31)I can speak about an old 1950's O'Keefe and Merritt. We had one for 6 years and loved it so much that we moved it with us when we moved 2 years ago. They are very solid, so fun-looking, and really great to cook on. I honestly considered keeping it for our new construction house, but the things that held me back were the one tiny oven and it only had 4 burners. Tiny oven-- fine for everything I needed size-wise, but I needed more than one pretty often. Burner-wise, I wanted some more BTUs and at least one more burner. Still, the O & M is what sent me on my quest for a different than standard range. I so loved my O & M that I couldn't imagine not having an interesting looking stove, again. Mine also had a cover that you could flip down over the entire stove surface. It was so practical for keeping little fingers away, hiding less-than-perfectly clean burners, etc. It really is a great range....See MoreWhich flooring would you pick?
Comments (13)I have not used Hurst, so cannot comment on it. I do like beveling. What is the length of the planks. This makes a huge difference in my opinion. I prefer at minimum, 72" lengths....See MoreElizabeth Minish Design
