- Comment on These States Are Basically Begging You to Get a Heat Pump 9 months ago:
I got our oil removed and heat pumps installed through masssave last fall.
I ended up getting 5 quotes that varies from $20k-50k. Two of the installers wanted to do ducted systems and eventually we ended up around $30k with a good installer.
We paid the 10k as a down payment in November. Got the 0% interest loan about $150/month. We just got the rebate check in the mail. And 150/mo plus the new electric rate is still cheaper than oil. Long term I’m hoping it will pay for itself.

Well Ive not quite made it to 100000mi on the odometer. It’s likely I’ll be able to take it to 200000 with no dominated mileage… So that’s about 10-12 years of life for me without a worry. Maybe it goes more, maybe I get in an accident before 2029 (10years of use and I’ll be around 150000mi or less).
Ive heard people scared are of the batteries. But that fear doesn’t match what I’ve experienced.I had a recall on mine that was not big deal. it’s really not as concerning as it’s made out to be. I’m mostly hoping there’s a better recycling system in place when I do actually need a new battery. But likely the rest of the car will wear out first.

I have a 2017 bolt EV - bought used, not one that is advertised as having great mileage even in 2017. I routinely take it 600mi plus drives with one or maybe two charge stop for vacation and family trips. Middle of ME to the tip of NJ. My home is some
Charged off my 110 outlet since I got to car (about 5 years) to last month when I got a 220v outlet installed as part of another project.
I don’t get the negativity most people have twords EVs. Everyone is astounded when I say I just plug it into the wall and have to plan longer trips slightly more, like that’s news. And there’s a bunch more DC chargers than when I first started driving an EV - so it’s wayyy easier for new folks to adopt.

Yes and his new content will be released as fully ramblomatic, realsed under second wind instead of escapist…

Zero Punctuation for me. He has a similar taste in games to what I like and a so so positive ZP review is usually a solid buy for me.
I guess the name is changing soon to fully ramblematic? There’s drama with the owner of the ZP IP right now and the folks who actually own the IP are 100% gonna fuck it up. Creator is starting fresh after a walking from a bad deal is how I understand the situation.

Exactly what I’m doing right now. Oil tank is rated for 30 years, and it’s 32 years old.
Start here and get an energy assessment done. Took about 90min, we did it on a video call.
MassSave Home Energy Assessment
They are also going to upgrade our insulation to current standards. $3000 job but through them we are paying $526.44. Also we got some free power strips and shower heads and a smart thermostat upgrade.
If this whole heat pump install goes well I’m going to be telling literally everyone in MA to contact them…

Ya that sounds rough. Maybe they ran higher gauge cable and skimped on the breaker?
I know electric work can be included in the loan for whatever that’s worth.
- Comment on 25 States Agree To Quadruple Number Of Heat Pumps In America 1 year ago:
MA already has a program in place. Look up MassSave. Bet case scenario you could qualify for a 10k rebate and a 7year 0% interest loan.

We get a fall and 3-4 months of winter.
- Comment on 25 States Agree To Quadruple Number Of Heat Pumps In America 1 year ago:
For reference the cheapest heat pump water heater I was able to get quoted (4 companies quoted) was $6k. We elected to get a non efficient water tank at $1900. 2023.
I think covid drove up the cost for sure. And I think certain contractors are inflating the price for the rebate. 2 of 4 companies gave me 50k plus quotes even without duct work. Maybe that was the fuck you we don’t have the people to do it please go away price though I dunno.
- Comment on 25 States Agree To Quadruple Number Of Heat Pumps In America 1 year ago:
Yea it’s basically a not mini mini split.
We looked into doing a ducted heat pump through the attic for the top floor. But it quickly brought the project into the 50k range for what amounted to a slightly better looking design.
- Comment on 25 States Agree To Quadruple Number Of Heat Pumps In America 1 year ago:
5 indoor units, 2 outdoor units, new water tank, electric work, boiler and oil tank both got to get chopped up safely before being brought out. Went through several vendors to get the project under 30k.
And it’s New England so the heat pumps have to be hyper heat units that function in winter.
- Comment on 25 States Agree To Quadruple Number Of Heat Pumps In America 1 year ago:
I’m going through this right now with my state (MA). After a lot of talking and finding non-shit vendors and quotes and stuff I’ve got an application into the state program. About $28k total to remove oil from my home completely in favor of heatpumps and a new water heater. State will give us a 10k rebate and a loan where they pay 7 years of interest. So that works to 10k upfront we get back and then 7 years of $225/month payments.
We pay $300/month for oil. And that price is always getting higher.
