Nice from you to give us update on it… This look fantastic, I wonder what
will be the EFFICIENCY with the double function?? This time you don’t
channel the heat as I imagine.. It look like the airflow will be evenly
distribute inside the hole box frame isn it????? Thanks for your sharing

If it wasn’t for the thermostat controls that I ordered then I’d be worried
about this cooking me out of the house. I only have 1300ft^2, so this
should have no problem heating it during the day. I have three smaller ones
installed atm, but they’re not thermostatically controlled so I’ve kept two
of them shut down completely because it’s just too much on a sunny day lol.
Thanks for the comment bud!!
That look so nice!! This is the best air heater tutorial series I have seen
on Youtube.. I think you will just need one like this to heat your home and
water.. By closing the switch for the fan, you can still use the glycol
side and benefit all year around … Great work my friend, I cheer your
accomplishment..
I can’t wait to see this baby warming your home James!!

It never would have happened without the efforts and support of fellow
youtubers. I’m working on a 3D Sketchup plan for the furnace, and once I
get a heat exchanger built and we’ve verified that the glycol heating
option was worth the effort, then I’ll do a detailed video and share the
plan with you all. I’m sure there are lots of other people out there who
would like to do the same for their local communities as I intend to do for
mine.
