Building a Solar Air Heating Unit & What You Need Before You Start

A very simplistic yet incredibly effective system, the solar air heating unit has been a massively popular introduction to the home DIY energy market. Thousands of people across the globe are realizing the enormous potential that they offer and many more are making an effort to actually build their own units at home.

Building a solar air heating unit from the comfort of your own home or workshop is actually a very easy task and many have successfully built their units within 1 day.

However, do not let this deter you. Whilst they are much simpler to construct and install than solar panel arrays, there are still a number of requirements you will need before you begin:

Here's what you need before you start:

* The correct tools – having the right tools to hand is essential and will ensure that throughout your build process, you will be able to get on with building your unit as quickly and effectively as possible.

* The right materials and parts – as easy and as simplistic as a solar air heating unit is, the right core materials and parts are essential.

* A high quality build guide – probably the most essential piece of kit you will need. This should include well laid out, structured plans which should contain diagrams and ideally, will be endorsed with video tutorials.

A Solar Air Heater is a highly effective invention which once built adequately, will produce FREE heat for years to come, with very little or no maintenance required.

Top that off with the fact that they can cost less than $100 to build together with the very few parts and materials that are required, they are a fun and rewarding addition to any home DIY project!

How much should labor (only) be for replacing hot water heater?
My 48 gallon gas hot water heater is starting to leak from the bottom. From my research, it seems my only option is to replace it. It is still under warranty; so, I will only have to pay for labor. The quote I was given from the company I called is $1,000 to $1,200 for just the labor. I was told this because it's a 2 man job and pipes would need refitting since the replacement water heater is slightly larger. My water heater also has in and out pipes that go to the AC/Heating unit to heat the coils for heat. This is my first experience with this type of repair - does this quote sound right? Thanks for your help.

I need help reorganizing my side of my dorm room.?
I have 84 inches behind my door minus 8 inches for my ac/heating unit which cannot move i have approx. 145 inches corner to corner and the other wall that covers my side of the room is approx. 115 inches. I have a mini fridge which is 22"x32", my bed 90"x40" tv stand 35"x18, desk 42"x25" shelf 26"x12" a media tower which is 14"x13". There is no reason to worry about the dresser because it is in my closet. My phone and internet port is behind my door along with 1 outlet, I have 1 other outlet which is on the 145" wall near the corner. I would rather not loft up my bed higher than about 4.5 feet because I have knee problems. I would like to have some space to do yoga in my room to strengthen my knee more.
