[QUOTE="quad, post: 16321559, member: 17952"] I had a Rheem 98% efficient gas furnace installed last year and it works great. I wanted to go with Carrier but the mechanical contractor talked me out of it. The Rheem units are very nice looking and I decided to take a chance with them. The installation went great and we paired it with an Ecobee 4 smart thermostat that has Alexa built in. I can set the AC or heat via voice commands in the bedroom, dining room or on my iPhone. The temperatures can also be set remotely when you are out of the house. [URL="https://www.rheem.com/"]Global Leader and Manufacturer of Heating, Cooling, and Water Heating Products - Rheem Manufacturing Company[/URL] But the home is actually currently being heated with Ethereum mining rigs with a total of 41 GPUS (21 1070 ti, 18 RX580, 1 1070 and 1 1080ti). It is using about 5000 watts continuous electricity @ 1368 mh/s. I can get the mh/s up a little but at the expense of more electrical power which is not worth it so I settled with a balance between power and performance.
