Is it underground or something??
Or you dont have really warm summers? Grin

live in washington state near seattle. the summers get warm but with all the trees and shade my house stays cool.

I bought the house from a previous owner who had an in line duct fan put in a vent to the outside for his wood working tools so the sawdust wouldn't spread throughout the garage. I can point the miners at the in line fan that sucks the hot air to outside the house. The garage is a 2 car garage with a workshop built in, so technically a 3 car garage?

Be careful about backlogging heat in there.. Will burn up your miners.

hence the duct fan. no worries.

i was thinking the same but seems that you have been thinking on all Wink

btw i never imagine that someone would use it to heat up his house, well, i had some ideas about a greenhouse, but never to use it to heat up the house, you bring me some ideas Wink

I wish that you can continue posting new images, i really want to see it 100% finished.

Well done.

Maybe I didn't understand / missed this part. How are you pushing the air around the house? Do you keep the furnace blower set to always on?

That is a good idea. How well is it working? Does it nicely heat up your rooms?

I LOVE IT!!!

My brother-in-law has something similar worked out on paper -- but to actually see the real deal in photo's is AWESOME!!!

I'll have to forward him a link to this thread...

Also, see if I can figure out something similar -- even though I live in Georgia and we have short winters...

Thanks for posting!!!

I am using 2 S7s to heat some rooms in my house. I was able to cut a hole into my hvac duct and utilize the warm air to blow into the hvac.

Below are a few pics and links to the items I bought to do this.

The ducting I used that fits perfectly over the S7 fan and connected to the exhaust blower fan. I ran this from the miners to the a register box http://www.homedepot.com/p/Master-Flow-10-in-x-4-in-to-6-in-90-Degree-Register-Box-90RB10X4X6/100198141 . the register box was connected to the blow fan and than additional flexible duct was run to the hole in the hvac. It was sealed with foil tape. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Nashua-Tape-1-89-in-x-50-yd-322-Multi-Purpose-HVAC-Foil-Tape-1207792/100030120

The blow fan to suck the air from the S7s to my already existing hvac system. http://www.amazon.com/VenTech-VT-IF-6-B-Variable-Controller/dp/B005KMPN0K

EDIT

Sound Reduction Box made from scraps (looks stupid and ugly but effective)

Did this today. Was cleaning out garage and the PSU is loud (Finsky set-up, works amazing but sounds like a jet engine). My son (20 months) kept walking over to is and putting his finger on his lips and saying "shhhh"

Was bored so here it goes.....

So I decided to build a sound reduction box around the rigs and PSU to reduce the sound. This is by no means suppose to look nice, it was left over scraps. I used hvac aluminum tape, nails, screws, scrap wood and insulated with roxul safe 'n' sound insulation. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Roxul-Safe-n-Sound-3-in-x-15-1-4-in-x-47-in-Soundproofing-Stone-Wool-Insulation-12-Roll-RXSS31525/202531875 The insulation is amazing stuff, fireproof and sound reduction.
