Hi DL. Any idea how I could go about setting up an automated flap on a thermostat? I have a few 120v thermostats already on hand.
I noticed that opening the door to the grow cools it much more efficiently than the fan during the cold season so it has got me wondering how to automate the opening and closing of the door (a lightweight foam door). TIA for any advice you might have.
hey rounge.. running 240v if you can does lower electrical costs. Its better not to use an extension cord if you can... they heat up with all the power goin thru them. Keep it to less that 50 feet if you have to use it and make sure its 12 guage wire. Balancing the loads when on 120v wont save u any money.... only on 240v. hope this helps
So if I run my 1000W ballast on 240 versus 120, I will save on my electric bill?
Yes sir weedfarm. If ya got easy access to it where your growing its definitely the way to go. You can add one more 1000 watter on that same line with a max 2000 watts per 20 amp two pole breaker
. Many people, including many electricians, are misguided into believing it's cheaper to run 240volt versus 120volt. Mostly those that got their licenses grandfathered.
