So these Canaan Avalon Q really are amazing.

All the reviews will tell you they’re quiet, efficient etc they don’t tell you how much heat it’s actually putting out.

It’s significant. I may not have to run my furnace much at all this winter.

I ran it on standard mode in my studio for a few hours and it was throwing some serious heat. I moved it to the main floor of the house and it warmed the 3900 sqft house to 24C. I turned it down to eco mode and it’s been maintaining that temp.

I thought 1 maybe 2 of these could offset my heat needs but now I’m thinking 1 may actually do it. The weather is mild …12C tonight.

My first impression is very positive . I’m looking forward to the 3D printed fan shroud to arrive so I han fit it to the HVAC 😀

This is great Mark. I think you may have just convinced me to get one running for this up coming winter as well. Our house is not ideal - propane heated hot water radiators and a wood burning stove. Couple that with a poorly insulated house built in 1925 with single pane windows! Its not our forever home so renovating is not our financial best interest

Still on eco 24hrs later - still 24C in the whole house.

I think as long as you’re comfortable covering the $2.50 - $5/ day cost of running it it’s great.

If cashflow is a struggle you’ll need to sell some bitcoin along the way.

Grok tells me the ROI is about 1.5 yrs depending on use case / power cost.

My wife LOVES the warm house.

We spend over 3000 a year in propane. It pains me to admit it. This seems like a no brainer
