Yeah your right about the duct heater,i also opened it up to find out the thing was cranked to the the max .The fellow said it should be at 50 or half way.The funny thing is in the winter when the furnace was not on,the air did not seem that warm.

Actually Manitoba has the lowest cost for hydro in Canada. One of our few benefits for living here.

I agree the problem may well have been a constant running, inline duct heater. I was going to install one of them in Thompson, but held off. I never really thought about it here, but I have a woodstove downstairs.

Does your HRV fresh air, feed into the furnace?

Default re Power

i just got my first shocker
523.00 for one month for my epcor bill..which is power and water
OUCH....
They were sitting a about 200 per month before this hobby
and slowly built up to this
So don't feel bad, you ain't the only one.
Someone was telling me that power in edmonton went up like 25 percent since the new year? doesn't anyone know if that is true?

ahh ok so you pay the same as us pretty much.

I think with all the pumps I got going and 2 HQI 250's 1 400, two 96 watt VHO's, 4 overdriven powerglows on the fresh water tank, two 55watt PC's

I figure it is about 25 bucks a month, which is 5 bucks cheaper than my hot tub.
