DIY HVAC

An anonymous reader writes "I found this very interesting project called DIY Zoning. It allows one to add air flow balancing, temperature control, zoning, home automation, and more to an existing or new HVAC system. After getting a $200 electric bill, this sounds like a good solution for those who are getting screwed with outrageously high electric bills due to their HVAC unit especially since organizations like TVA have raised the electric rates."

  1. Throw that shit away. by James+A.+G.+Joyce · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I have some better ideas on saving lots of $$$ on your home. Don't bother with air conditioning, or "home automation" or "zoning". For fuck's sake. You don't need air conditioning: open a couple of fucking windows. Home automation: what the fuck? Seriously, if you really feel a pressing need for "home automation", you need to be shot. You don't need windows, doors and other shit that opens and closes by itself, you lazy fucker. Oh, and when the house gets too cold, how about this: put on a fucking sweater. And insulate your goddamn loft. That'll save you money in the long run and it's more environmentally friendly, you gel-haired puss.

    Bi-sexual is just another way of saying "fat and desperate for love." I guess it's more concise and fits better in the sig.

    ...solutions that you can't bother to link to? Somebody had a problem, they solved the problem, they posted the solution, and you think they shouldn't have bothered because you don't like the solution?

    Boy, I sure do love useless backbiting. It makes me so much more eager to share the fruits of MY labor with the world.
