Nice system, i am working in my house the solar power for mining scrypt.
Great Job
Topic: My set-up to heat house using bitmain S7 (UPDATE 03JAN2016) (Read 9029 times)
What a clever method to use the heat produced by the miners! you are a boss bro... I love things like this in which energy is used and not just wasted away in the air. Keep with that good work, you are inspiring.
how much earn one day?
so has it worked well?
When can I post pictures? When I'm full member or senior?
I'm heating my 1800 sq ft home with 4 s7's and it's wonderful. I live in central Canada and it's been a warm winter thus far but I have not had to use my other heat sources yet this year even when temps go down to -29 with windchill. Very simple to get the heat into house.. i run s7's in vertical position and have a 16' flexible tube that moves the heat to upper level where i can store it or use it by simply turning on a fan on.
The noise of the psu's is a work in progress but have got it down where it is "wife approved" lol
These 4 s7's not only pay for power bill and I get 100% heat recovery.. they pay for my mortgage and bills as well

Do you put 1 S7 in each room so that the heat is distributed evenly? If you put them together and use a distributor, it will incur extra cost.
That's not feasible with the noise, outlets, or wires and he mentioned his wife (I have the same issues). It would be amazing to run a miner in each room but normal house outlets (among all the other things plugged in) isn't an option. Running Ethernet cables to each room, reducing the noise of each miner in a room, running a PSU for each, etc, etc.

Came up with a redneck solution instead, has killed the high-pitch sound, so its not a problem anymore.
What I did was basically make sure all the miners get direct cold air from the outside, which made the temps go down. And then the fans didn't have to work as hard anymore, problem solved (for now).

Pulling the air from inside the house, to heat a house. Wouldn't that make the air quality poor? I guess there is a reason why we have vents? 
yeah the heating that is done from device like asic is not healthy at all, there are case of guy running his miners inside is room where he sleep, and he had health problem at the end
Yeah, if you are heating your room with air wich is just going out from a device and filling all the room the air quality will be poor and you'll have headaches or even worse problems with your health.
I think you should make the hot air go through a metal (not heat-insulated) vent tubes and thus they'll heat your room just like radiators do.
You are correct but by just using a high quality 3 inch media filter (whole house filter) you can totally reduce any contaminants by 99% or more. My HVAC engineer friend who has set up hundreds of server rooms in RTP (Research Triangle Park), help me with my setup and this was one of concern's that was addressed.
Hm, I haven't thought about that, a high quality filter might solve the problem. IMO that's actually much better than turning the vent tubes into radiators like I proposed. Nice decision. Good luck with your mining!
definitely not safe
BS WARNING ! BS WARNING ! BS WARNING ! BS WARNING ! BS WARNING !So how many deaths and incurable diseases per million population would you expect from fumes from an S7 and how does that compare to the fumes from other heat sources such as a new fridge or a new microwave oven or a new coal fire ?
You want me to cite incidence and prevalence of VOC induced disease states? Why don't you do the homework and post it?
I've bought 2 new fridges in the last 20 years. I have bought over 500 video cards and 100 miners in just the last 5 - nice troll though
I think he also changed your original text - quoted for advanced trolling technique citing lol.
When I was running my card farm I could definitely smell the chemicals but then again I was pushing them hard to near 90C and had over 100 cards going. Don't know if I would want to be breathing all that in days on end.

That has nothing to do with air quality, but with temperature. The story is here. cryptotore was solely talking about air quality. That being said, that can probably be overcome with air filters, which are probably in place given the setup OP has
the hot air moved by the fan from the asic is not healthy, so yes it has to do with the air, because those part from the asic, when the temperature is high enough they begin to release some particles from the combustion of the pond
not to mention the air moved is full of dust...
I love the ingenuity and creativeness that you have put into this project. Really embracing what bitcoin is. I also really like the idea and have a few questions.
It seems like you have been running for a bit, have you noticed you furnace having to turn on at all? Or is the heat from the miners enough to heat your entire house?
If you don't mind me asking, how big of a house are you heating?
You said you had to cut into the ducts, if you ever decided to stop doing this (say summer) or sold the house, is that something that is easily fixed by just putting a piece of metal over where you cut in?
Thanks for the answers, like I said, I really like the project and could see myself doing something similar.

1000 squ ft I am heating. It was keeping the house at 68 until temperatures dropped to below 30 F. I now have 3 Avalon 4.1 in the house (2 running in living room and one in guest bedroom), that combo is keeping my house above 72 F which is too warm so I have almost all the windows cracked. I am currently selling 2 of the Avalons since its too warm and temps outside have risen so the 2 S7s will be plenty until summer.
The duct I cut an 8 inch hole. It will be easy to cover with some metal. I can either attach some small screws or special glue for duct work. Its easy fix.

I am still unclear by their question. I will try to break down barney style.
free flowing air (from the outside, not being pulled just flows in naturally through vents) comes into the garage from 2 vents. This air circulates in garage and the miners pull from this air. The air is from the outside which is cold (45 F currently) which keeps the miners running below 50 C. The miners blow into my HVAC system which is already supplied with air filters.
Please read previous comments. The air blow is not any more dangerous/not dangerous than the fan blows from a microwave, computer... etc. Think common sense please.
I just found your post, really nice setup! I have been working on a similar project and loving the free heat off of it.
Where are your miners pulling the air from? Are you basically circulating inside house air or pulling fresh outside air?

Air is being pulled from inside the garage. I have vents on the far wall that let the air inside the garage. Stays around 45 F inside the garage at all times and during the summer doesn't exceed 55 F. Its a 2 car garage with room for my workbench and storage. So pretty big area to pull air from.
thats scary actually.. air from you cars exhaust and engine fluids being heated/burned etc
you must be taking precautions or you wouldnt be alive to post.. or never run engines (the obvious answer)
No one would be alive if they ran there car with the garage door shut. Not sure if I should even answer this obvious question.
