The area directly above the 176 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 3: fire place gets pretty hot. Now. The instruction manual calls 177 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 3: that area out and identifies the first six to eight 178 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 3: inches as very hot. That's all it says. I've measured 179 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 3: it with an infrared thermometer, and after an hour or 180 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 3: two of usage, that area within three to six inches 181 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 3: will get up to about two twenty five maybe two thirty, 182 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 3: and then it dissipates as you go up. I've been 183 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 3: told by the installer that's normal. I've seen other people 184 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 3: on line mention this, but it just seems not dangerous. 185 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 3: I mean, it's not you know, not going to scald you. 186 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 3: But it's pretty hot to get too near that area, 187 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 3: and I wanted to get your opinion about that. 188 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually pretty normal, it really is. I was 189 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: going to tell you that, you you know, the area 190 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: within you know, eight to twelve inches above the directly 191 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: above the firebox there typically can get two hundred not 192 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: a problem as far as the heat, and that should 193 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: be in the manual, should be part of you know, 194 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,599 Speaker 1: that area. That's why we don't put the any televisions, 195 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: flat screens or anything like that within that first twelve 196 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: inches unless there is a hearth or something deflecting the 197 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: heat from it. That's twelve inches. Now, it varies from 198 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: unit to unit, and there's always they're always coming up 199 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: with new stuff, so I always have to investigate whatever 200 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: specific unit I'm specking to put into a place so 201 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: that we can get the design just right and not 202 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: have to do any backtracking. But typically first glance at 203 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: a design, I'll never put a like a flat screen 204 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: TV any closer than twelve inches to one of those 205 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: open fireboxes. They are shockingly warm, and a lot of 206 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: people don't realize that. A lot of old school folks 207 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: who are like you know, what we're gonna get. We're 208 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: gonna we gotta change out our fireplace. We're gonna put 209 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: in one of these, you know, new linear fireplace or 210 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: new And by the way, the technical term for them, 211 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: whether they're linear or whether they're still proportioned like a 212 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 1: traditional fireplace, and they come in all shapes and sizes, 213 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: is a direct vent unit. Direct vent fireplace is a 214 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: completely sealed and self enclosed fire unit. It's got glass 215 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: on the front and so you can see the flame, 216 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: but you don't have direct air access to that flame 217 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: in the front. And a lot of people, just generally speaking, 218 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: we'll look at something like that and think, well, that's 219 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: not a real fireplace. It doesn't really output any significant heat, 220 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: not like my old wood burner. Yeah, not true at all. 221 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is that a typical wood 222 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: burning masonry fireplace is only only about thirty percent efficient 223 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: as far as heat. Most of the heat when you 224 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: burn wood and or gas logs in a traditional open fireplace, 225 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: most of that heat is going right up the chimney, 226 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,479 Speaker 1: right out of the house and not into the room. 227 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: A direct vent fireplace just the opposite, literally, just the opposite. 228 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: We're talking seventy typically seventy to eighty percent heat efficient, 229 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: meaning it sits there and bakes. I mean, we're basically 230 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: I was explaining this to a client the other day. 231 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: I said, imagine that you're just looking at the inside 232 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: burner on your oven through a glass piece of glass, 233 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: or the furnace up in your attic or wherever the 234 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: furnace is in your home. Imagine if it was a 235 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: cutaway demo furnace and that you basically just got a 236 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: chance to look at the burner while it was going 237 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: through a piece of glass. That's what a direct vent 238 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: fireplace essentially is. Now, the burner, thank god, is not 239 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: burning blue hot. Otherwise it would be a heck of 240 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: a lot more heat coming out. So it's intentionally inefficiently 241 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: yellow flames in order to get you know, taller flames 242 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: and for the overall effect that we're looking for, because 243 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,359 Speaker 1: none of us are looking for a blue flame fireplace. 244 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: But we're talking on average, on average. Now, there are 245 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: lower BTU fireplaces out there and higher ones, but on 246 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: average you can expect anywhere from thirty thousand up to well, 247 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: I mean up to sixty seventy thousand BTUs of output. 248 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: Heat output of a direct vent fireplace like that. So absolutely, absolutely, Rick, 249 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: it is not an unusual thing to measure temperatures at 250 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: around two hundred, you know, a little over two hundred 251 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: in that first few inches. It should dissipate then though, 252 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: for sure. So when you were saying I'm concerned about 253 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: heat coming off, I wasn't sure if that meant that 254 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: you just didn't didn't weren't expecting it to be pumped 255 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: and as much heat into the room as it does 256 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: or the materials around it, because I have encountered situations 257 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: where there is excessive heat in the surface materials around it, 258 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: and I'm talking about for more than a foot and 259 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: well above two hundred degrees, you know, up into the 260 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: three and four hundred degree range. That's not going to 261 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: hurt anybody per se, but it's usually an indication that 262 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: the installation. Something went wrong with the installation, because when 263 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: you're installing those units, they have to be done in 264 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: a very specific way. And I'm sure you know that. 265 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: I'm assuming based on this that yours was installed correctly, 266 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: but there has to be heat breaks so that that 267 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: heat doesn't just climb through combustible material all around it. 268 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: But as shocking as it seems the low two hundreds 269 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: not at all an unusual thing. 270 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 3: Just the immediate section right above. Nothing on the size, 271 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 3: and to your point, it dissipates within about ten to 272 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 3: fifteen inches above, So I guess that's the way it is. 273 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's surprisingly warm, but that that's that's absolutely within 274 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: normal range. Did I lose Rick? I lose him. 275 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 7: Rick. 276 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: Thank you for your call, buddy, appreciate the question. And hey, 277 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: snuggle up to that fireplace, enjoy it. I'll talk you 278 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: a little bit. We will talk a little bit about 279 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: that kind of a fireplace on the other side of 280 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: the break. We just got back from Montana. We had 281 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: one in the townhouse that we were staying in there, 282 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you a little bit more about it. 283 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: But first let's get some news your Home with Dean 284 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: Sharp the house Whisper. 285 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 6: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 286 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 6: KFI AM six forty birthday. 287 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: With Mary here to help you transform your ordinary house 288 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: into an extraordinary home.

Hey, Rosa, welcome home. 313 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 2: Good morning. 314 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 7: So I purchased a few appliances and when the delivery 315 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 7: person dropped it off, the dishwasher couldn't be installed because 316 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 7: it's hardwired, and so I wanted to learn a little 317 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 7: bit about how you take care of that getting it 318 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 7: off hardwire and what needs to be installed? Could you 319 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 7: install outlet? And then I want to share, and then 320 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 7: also if I can add, he also said that the 321 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 7: stove had a dryer outlet, so he couldn't plug that in. 322 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 7: The people at the store asked us if we had 323 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 7: a three or four prong and we've said three. And 324 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 7: then I just want to share that we ended up 325 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 7: getting the ge all on one dryer, so we're going 326 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 7: to check the dryer, washer, dryer. We're going to check 327 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 7: that out and hope it works out. 328 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: Oh okay, Well, I hate I want to hear back 329 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: on that, because you may be the first listener that 330 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: I've spoken to who has given a shot at that 331 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 1: new ge all in one, and you've heard me talk 332 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: about it clearly here on the show, and I've been 333 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: very impressed with it, and you know you have to 334 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: get used to it. It's not. It doesn't work exactly 335 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: the same as the old stuff. But I am still 336 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: predicting that as the future rolls on here, we're going 337 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: to see more and more of those installed, and more 338 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: and more people kind of happy with the altering their 339 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: lifestyle in order to get it done. So you keep 340 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: me updated on that. As far as the other stuff 341 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: goes ROSA. Yeah, So here's the thing. There's nothing mad 342 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: about the connection between an appliance and the electricity coming 343 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: out of the wall. There are all sorts of different hookups. 344 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 1: There's four prong appliance hookups, there are three plug appliance hookups. 345 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: There are round ones, there are triangular X shaped ones. 346 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: There are hard wire hookups. And hardwire simply means that 347 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: the dishwasher came with a conduit and just bare wire 348 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: sticking out the back, ready to be hooked into a 349 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 1: junction box at the back of the dishwasher area. So 350 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: the key is this to check the manufacturer specs to 351 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: find out what kind of gauge of wire and the 352 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: amperage of the outlet, the amperage and the voltage of 353 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: the outlet that needs to be supplied. So in the dishwasher. 354 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: You could, and again check the owner's mangle on this, 355 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: but you can remove the conduit and those wires that 356 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: are still out at the junction box at the back 357 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: of the dishwasher, which there is one. There is a 358 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: there's a box where all the dishwasher wiring comes in 359 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: and then forms kind of the tail that's going out 360 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: that con to it. That could be changed out with 361 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: the right fittings there into a cord, okay, but it 362 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: can't just be a random extension cord from the store. 363 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: Can't be a lamp chord or anything like that. It 364 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: needs to be a cord that has the same gauge 365 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: wires in it that are specified. Whether I'm guessing it's 366 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,479 Speaker 1: going to be a twelve gauge electrical wire cord, a 367 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: three wire cord, and then you would basically turn the 368 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: outlet into a twenty amp outlet and to receive that, 369 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: now that's my guess. I'm guessing you just got to 370 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: check the specs on that. But my guess is that 371 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: it's probably it's either a fifteen or twenty amp outlet 372 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: to receive that kind of cord, or you could eliminate 373 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: the outlet, take the outlet off of in the outlet 374 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: lead box and actually build the face of the outlet 375 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: box to receive that that conduit that's coming out of 376 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: the back of the dishwasher. If you don't want to 377 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: do the rewiring at the dishwasher, you can set up 378 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: the outlet so that it receives the conduit instead of 379 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: a plug, So you have options there. The question is 380 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: just a matter of figuring out the right gauge of wire. 381 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: And that's always the case with every appliance. So appliances 382 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: can be converted to chords, they could be they can 383 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: have conduits on them. The vast majority of them can 384 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: go either way as long as we're very very careful 385 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: about the specifics of gauge and and ambridge when it 386 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: comes to the outlet. And I have to confess I 387 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: forgot your second question. 388 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 7: Oh about the stove, But can I ask yeah, can 389 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 7: I ask about so right now the dishwasher, the new 390 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 7: one has just a plug, so we can change out 391 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 7: that box it's not hard wire and put in like 392 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 7: a standard outlet. 393 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: Yes, that's what, Yes, exactly what I'm saying. 394 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 7: Yes, okay, sorry, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, got it. And 395 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 7: then the other one about the stove it has a 396 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 7: three prong because they asked us. But when the delivery 397 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 7: guy got here, he said, it's that is a dryer outlet, 398 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 7: not a stove. 399 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: Got you on the wall. I tell you what, Rosa, 400 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: let me toss you on hold for a second because 401 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: we're up against a break and we'll just pick this 402 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: up on the other side and so that I can 403 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: give you a more specific answer on that. Everybody hang tight. 404 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: It's an All Calls Saturday Morning, your home with Dean Sharp, 405 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: the house Whisper. Dean Sharp, the house Whisper here to 406 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: remind you every home deserves great design. That's what we 407 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: try and help you find your way through every weekend.

We'll talk about whatever's going on 411 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: with your home. The number to reach me eight three 412 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: three to ask Dean eight three three, the numeral two 413 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 1: ask Dean. I've got Rosa on the line. I want 414 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: to go back to Rosa. Rosa's doing some appliance changeouts 415 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: and we're answering some electrical questions. So, Rosa, you said 416 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: you've got A, you got a stove or an oven 417 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: going in and there's a the electrician or somebody said 418 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: there was a dryer vent give me you fill me 419 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: in again. 420 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 7: So there's a dryer outlet, and so he could not 421 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 7: plug in the stove because of it's a different outlet 422 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 7: and we were purchasing it. They asked us if the 423 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 7: existing stove has a three prong or a four prong. 424 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 7: We said it was three, So I'm just I'm not 425 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 7: understanding that's the difference. 426 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: Okay, So, uh, do do we know this the stove 427 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: that's going in? Is it just a gas stove? 428 00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 3: Uh? 429 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 2: No, it's electric, So it's. 430 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: An electric stove. Is it an induction cook top? 431 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 7: Is that the flat? 432 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 5: You know? 433 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 1: Flat? Okay? So yeah, and uh and do we know 434 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: is it too? Does? Is the voltage required? There? Is 435 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: it to two forty vaults as opposed to okay? So 436 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: again this is kind of similar to the the dishwasher question. 437 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: Various outlets are indicators of various conditions in the wall 438 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: as far as electrical work is concerned. This is good news, okay, 439 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: So just be aware this is good news for you 440 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: because because A and you said it was a three prong, 441 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: A three prong dryer outlets, right, Okay, said yeah, yeah, 442 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: a three prongs and also. 443 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 7: Went in there. We took another stove out of there. 444 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't understand. Yeah, well, you know, but see 445 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: they you know they they every stove is different and 446 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,719 Speaker 1: changes happen every year year with different models, and so 447 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: again we don't have to worry about that. We just 448 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,239 Speaker 1: have to worry about making sure that we match up 449 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: the receptacle to the stove cord. And we also most 450 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: importantly want to make sure that the wires leading to 451 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: that receptacle are in fact configured in the proper way 452 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: to handle that stove. A three and four prong outlet 453 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: is a is almost always a given that it is 454 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: a thirty amp or more circuit two hundred and forty volts, 455 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: and that's what you're looking for there. 456 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:36,719 Speaker 7: Now. 457 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: I don't know about the ampriage required for your circuit, 458 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: but as far as voltage is concerned, it's a two 459 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: hundred and forty volt setup that can be configured into 460 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: a three prong outlet or a four prong outlet, depending 461 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: on the manufacturer and the gear. I mean, there are 462 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: even there are five prong outlets that are out there 463 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: with a center pin in the center, a center spike 464 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: pin in the center. Just ignore that. Okay. What we're 465 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: after is that we need to find out again, just 466 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 1: like the dishwasher, we need to know what gauge of 467 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: wire is required to power the stove. As long as 468 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: we've got that gauge of wire and the configuration for 469 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty vaults, okay, which is going to 470 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: have two power two lead power feeds to it, and 471 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: the right size breaker at the panel back at the panel, 472 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: then all you have to do once we know we've 473 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: got the right gauge wire, we've got the right configuration 474 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: sounds like you do two hundred and forty, and the 475 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: right amperage of breaker at the panel may have to 476 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: be changed out forty amp, thirty amp, whatever is required 477 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: there by that appliance. Then altering that at the actual 478 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 1: outlet box in order to match the receptacle that your 479 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: stove cored needs is a very very minor thing. We 480 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: just don't want to go Willy Nelly changing things around 481 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: as if there's something magical about the receptacle itself. It's not. 482 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: It's just a representation of the wires that are in 483 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: the wall, and the wires that are in the wall 484 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: are the important thing. The receptacle is just the interface, 485 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: and those can be altered. Just like I was telling you, 486 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 1: you had options of altering the dryer. So again, check 487 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: the amperage, check the power requirement, check the breaker. If 488 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: all of those things are per the manufacturer's spec then 489 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: you can have yourself or a qualified electrician can change 490 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: out the receptacle to the one that interfaces with that stuff. 491 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, You are so welcome. Thank you 492 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: for your question. All right, let's see where are we at. 493 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: Oh I was running a little late with a couple 494 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: other questions. My fault, but we're up against a break. 495 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll be right on time and 496 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: we will go back to the phones. It's an all 497 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: calls Saturday morning. The number to reach me eight three 498 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: three two. Ask Dean A three three, the numeral two, 499 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: and then you just spell out ask Dean. Let's talk 500 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: about what's going on with your home. But first, uh, 501 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and get some news. 502 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 6: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 503 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 6: KFI AM six forty
