Answer by Renaissance ManPool pump motors are typically matched to the pump to which it is attached, so equal electrical specs do not assure a proper match.

As long as a motor has the same mounting type/spacing to the pump volute as the original, and the shaft length/diam are the same, using the same type/size mechanical seal, etc., an equivalent motor should be okay. [...]]]> Question by wdr31: Replacing a pool pump motor.?

Pool pump motors are typically matched to the pump to which it is attached, so equal electrical specs do not assure a proper match.

As long as a motor has the same mounting type/spacing to the pump volute as the original, and the shaft length/diam are the same, using the same type/size mechanical seal, etc., an equivalent motor should be okay. It has to be a motor designed for the same application (pool/spa pumps).

Referring to the manufacturer's replacement specs should tell you what motor makes/models are acceptable substitutes, if any. Otherwise you should just spring for the OEM replacement, since there are warranties, which you void if you've gotten "creative".

Answer by karen d
I have heard that oil radiators are safer and more energy efficient.
Space heaters cause a lot of fires. I would try Walmart, Home Depot, or Lowes, they would probably be fairly cheap there and you would have a pretty good selection at Home Depot or Lowes.

( www.lennox.com ) All the components of a Lennox HVAC system work together in this 2010 Lennox TV commercial, Energy Connected. This synergy creates efficiency beyond the sum of its parts. And we tell that story by illustrating the way each component talks to one another, passing along the commands of the icomfort™ Touch Touchscreen Thermostat. In this commercial, we see the information pass from one component to the next. A rapidly moving energy beam transforms from an icy trail when it connects to the air conditioner to a warm energy blast as it connects to the furnace to a clear, clean flash that brings the air purifier to life. It then travels to the icomfort Thermostat, which sends a new set of commands out to the HVAC system. The result is a stunning journey into the system and an understanding that because everything works together, everything works more efficiently, showcasing an innovative Lennox product line.

www.permies.com http I made this video to augment my article "REALLY Saving Energy with The Heat Bubble: how I cut 87% off of my electric heat by heating the person instead of the whole house". This is a DIY alternative form of energy conservation Camille Pearl comes over to my house and tests my energy saving theories for herself. We start off stripping off her clothes that are more than just a single, normal layer people might wear in a fully heated area. Then we have her stand in the cool area until she feels too cold, then move her to the desk with the micro personal heaters. It was in this video where Camille first refers to this as a "bubble." And now, that's what we call this technique: "a heat bubble". She starts off too cold, and then spends 30 minutes at the heated desk area. At the end of the 30 minutes she is fully warmed up and feels like she could work there indefinitely. We then turn off the micro heat and see how long she can hold out until she feels too cold to keep working. About three minutes and ten seconds. Quick summary of micro heaters: 40 watts: incandescent light bulb in a chick brooder configuration 25 watts: heated keyboard 15 watts: dog bed heater / heating pad 2.5 watts: heated mouse 82.5 watts total. A homemade approach to save the environment. Alternatives are sources for home production. This may be a big boost to renewable energy efforts.

AO Smith is taking energy efficiency to new heights with four new families of residential water heaters. Designed to provide homeowners with significant energy savings, these new products represent the latest advances in gas, gas hybrid, electric hybrid and solar thermal technology. The Voltex™ hybrid electric water heater features a new heat pump technology that makes it more than twice as efficient as a standard electric water heater. Voltex operates like an air conditioner in reverse, pulling heat from the surrounding air and transferring it to the tank. The result is potentially a significant reduction in energy costs: 3 annually for a Voltex, compared to up to 5 for a conventional electric model. The Voltex is also eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of its total installed cost, up to a maximum of 00. Many state and local utilities also have significant rebates for this technology. As a result, depending upon the application, this water heater can pay for itself in less than three years. Voltex is the only type of electric water heater that is ENERGY STAR® rated.
