I wouldn't say their great products, they look rather cheaply built to me. When you remove the cover plate and screw the loadcenter to a wall, looks like you'll have to remove the receptacle covers and screw the gangboxes to the wall. I would't trust that digital timer that DXHydro uses, looks like it's from wallmart. I'm sure his units work, but they would never pass inspection.
Why all the hate on Square d? I can understand the hate for FP and stab lok panels but Square d panels while run of the mill they don't seem inferior Im just curious maybe you could school me on this
removed the coverplate and mounted without having to remove anything....everything looks solid. the timer has been working for me with no problem now.....its a pretty heavy solid timer box....
What commercial units would pass inspection?
Unlike DX's units, every commercial unit I've seen that uses both 240 and 120 volts does so *without a neutral wire*. Would that pass inspection?

The High-Lite units have ETL C/US listed stickers on them and only come in 120V. As far as I know they will pass in Canada.
Also if you are in Canada you can get a one time CSA approval done on your electrical components. I know two people that did this.

Yeah I'm not sure what hes talking about. As soon as I received my 12kw controller I checked all the connections and made sure everything was wired correctly, the connections are all well secured. So far its been running for 5 months without any problems. Well built controller if you ask me.

He said he used Square D, Omron, Pioneer, Seimens stuff throughout. He actually told me the specific brand he used for each item, but I don't remember well enough to relay it. The timer is a Coleman Cable.
I don't know anything about the brands used, so not real sure what quality level those items are at.
If I could get a schematic or diagram I could build one myself. The price, while important, isn't the biggest issue. I just can't seem to find a well-made controller.
I don't know of any electricians to ask, nor what I would ask for exactly. What do you think a similar product would cost if I had an electrician build me one?
Can you recommend a product you feel is well-made?

Yeah when I was on the phone with him he was very straightforward about everything. He literally went step by step through the construction process of one of his units, detailing exactly which item was which brand, how he connected it etc. Unfortunately our phone signal was terrible so I don't have all the information.
Do you have one of his controllers Hammerhead?
I just want something that is reliable, won't burn my house down and preferably doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I like that his power thief disallows use of the dryer while my lights are on. That's convenient.
Also he won't make a controller with 120v outlets unless the 240v line coming in is a 4-prong because he says it is very unsafe. Just something to keep in mind if anyone looks over his stuff.

Yes I have the power thief. I ordered mine a long time ago. I did mention him then but nobody had herd of him yet. I do not have it installed yet. I got the cords long enogh so I dont have to install the unit by the dryer. It will be installed in the flower room itself and long runs of power cord(15') to and from the dryer outlet. The unit plugs into the dryer outlet. The dryer plugs into the unit.

Since it isn't installed, do you think you'd be willing to take some pictures of it, especially the inside?
sorry no can do. maybe someone else will do that for ya.
