Soooo... you had a conversation with a llama?......how fucking high were you and what strain?.

Is this akin to talking to a lamppost?

So um....this is gonna sound dumb, but I didn't know Tracy Chapman was black.

Same for Ken Griffey and Jr, I just never watched sports but I lived in the area of the reds. Then one day I'm at a friends house and the game is on and I'm like oh wow, I guess I just never thought about it, I heard the dudes name my whole life.

Dude, griffeys father played for the Reds

First thing to consider is how well your house insulation is along the outside walls.....

I'd say not great to poor

We were really looking to put in AC since the house is 1820s and we're still on window ACs. These guys want to all basically put a heat pump in with a handler in the attic and in the basement. The main selling point is basically the heat functionality since we have an old combi boiler and radiators that's oil which is crazy expensive to run. They say we can run cool and hot with this system and it's 100% efficient at 5 degrees outside and will run until -25. That would allow us to basically just run the oil for hot water and the couple nights a year we get below 0. Heat pump system is basically about $15k cheaper then separate central air and new furnace install

This is what we have!

If you are at all comfortable with stuff on your own, installing minisplits is super duper easy. You just need a vacuum pump and an R410 gauge kit.

you can get 110v units.

outside

inside

All you do is run the copper lines between them, just have to do a flare, just like with plumbing. Pull a vacuum, verify vacuum, release the charge and turn the unit on. The 9000 BTU one in my office was like $700.

If you are gonna spend the money, go with mitsubishi hyperheats. You can get one outside unit that can handle 4 or 5 indoor room size units you can mount on the wall or ceiling.

We got estimates for that today but they want to do it ducted instead of wall mounted. Comes with a 12 year warranty on parts and labor with them too. That was actually the contract I was gonna sign before i figured I'd ask around here
