You can buy pipe insulation/wrap to keep that from happening. If all is clear around it and under it you shouldn't have to worry about it. You might want to place a container of some kind under it to catch any water that might drip on the floor. |

![]() Wow! Thats amazing that it is frozen in your basement. You figure with the heat from the house and all the extra heat from all your tanks it would not frost up like that.

It's more the fact that it will drip right onto my electrical panel that concerns me. I guess it's not really clear in the perspective of the photo but that pipe is right butted up against the wall which means it overlaps the electrical box. I think I'm going to make a service call to the installers just to ensure things are correct - I suppose that this IS extreme weather so who knows what's "normal" in these circumstances. On the plus side, all my windows are dry. Not even condensation. Before the HRV I would have had 1/2" of ice on them by now. ![]()

![]() Sorry - Heat Recovery Ventilator. It's a heat exchanger that's increasing the inside/outside air turnover in my house (swapping inside air for outside air, but preheating in the incoming air using the heat from the outgoing air). I was having some terrible humidity issues in my house and this was my last ditch attempt to get that under control. Basically a bathroom fan to suck air out, but takes two extra steps - one to replace the air it removes, and two to preheat that air so that the furnace isn't reheating the air. So although it's a bump in energy consumption, it's not a huge waste of energy consumption to keep humidity at bay.

![]() Hmm, interesting. I have no experience with those so I have nothing intelligent to contribute LOL. Do you have a humdifier on your furnace? I used to have a sef contained de-humidifier that worked great, but it sucked power too.
