One thing that has yet to be mentioned is that the Empire heaters in any home are noisy. The pilot stays on all the time and most of my off grid homes quiet is what folks enjoy the most. Inverters/ gen in the power shed, Blomburg fridges @1.9RA (chill plate) and the we have installed the Rinnai heaters both K1 & propane for many years w/ little to no problems. Off in the summer season and quiet yes they do shut down w/ out AC but when the AC is restored there is a default temp that is maintained. > On Aug 29, 2018, at 8:47 AM, Drake <drake.chamber...@redwoodalliance.org> > wrote: > > That sounds like the ticket! > > At 11:32 AM 8/28/2018, you wrote: > >> Drake, look at home depot for the Empire brand of small wall furnaces.
