Minus 2 degrees outside and my furnace is off

[FlyLikeAnEagle]

My 5000 watts of light has been keeping my house at a nice 75 degrees, have not had to turn my furnace on all winter and all week it has not got above 10 degrees outside.

Whether it's electricity for a heater or gas for a furnace, you're still paying somebody to stay warm in the winter. This way you killing two birds with one stone. Bravo

I love the winter. Running the lights without AC and the temp is still 72, plus you can recycle the heat from the exhaust for your own comfort

How much light are you using?? For how big o house?

He said 5000w. They don't make 500's so it's gotta be 5x1000, probably all HPS

 

[nomaninsf]

That would be really funny if he were running 20x250W lights. lol

NICE!!!
I guess your not venting outside at all?
I'm building a room & my 400w cool tube is going to be venting into my cold air return, wont help as much as yours, but might aswell use as much of that wasted energy as possible!!!

4800 watts of light to be exact. Have them venting into the heat ducts of an 1800 sf house. The house is brand new and insulated better than any house i've ever seen.

3 1000's and 3 600's.

[renyman]

Thats fuckin pimp OP. So you just attached your exhaust to one register and thats it? How much intake are you bringing in and from where?

Everything I've heard says that Air Quality, in the sense of what the plants like, is pretty much just the ppm of CO2. "Fresh Air" is just a saying and your plants really don't need anything else except the 1500 ppm or so of CO2 and the little bit of Oxygen they breath at night.
