Seeing as though they like to put a business at every intersection in RI I'm not getting in the inner lane just to hop over real quick...

The left turn can be impossible to make depending on what car you drive and how far forward the guy in the next lane is.

Yeah, my house has baseboard oil heat, hence why I had to install ducts, but figured I'd keep it as a backup. In the event we lost power for an extended period of time I can use it for heat, as I have a Tesla power wall setup, but the heat pump would drain that pretty quick. The only time I've used the oil furnace was a month ago or so, I had some water get in the basement, so I threw the wall hanging mini split on it's "dry" mode to help dry it quicker. But since I only have 1 condenser, and it was on cool mode for the basement I couldn't use it for heat on the main 2 floors.

I think the largest Mitsubishi makes us 4 tons and that's not big enough for my house, unfortunately. I guess I could probably expect to pay 40k, then.
I'm glad to hear that your system works without oil. I'm keeping my oil boiler baseboard system as a backup, but definitely glad I won't have to use it.

Cool.
Please explain this intersection for the commuters into Cambridge. They come in from the ramp at the bottom right.

This was 2 years ago now, so I'd expect prices to be a little higher now. I'd see if they can do it all with 1 larger condenser as it will certainly save you money. (I know mine can do up to 5 zones) but they'll come out and look at your place, take some measurements and give you a quote. They were super straight forward, and very low pressure.

Awesome. Thanks. I didn't try to get a carjon quote yet. I will give them a call. I need to condensers and 2 air handlers. One of the condensers will be a multi zone so it can handle the mini split wall unit in the basement. The condenser for the attic will be single zone. 30k is lower than the prices I've gotten from other companies, so crossing my fingers.
Both floors of my house are already ducted, so hopefully can save some money there.

I had 3 quotes done from 3 different companies all using Mitsubishi. I had them price up mini splits and fully ducted. Carjon was the most reasonable for both options. But ducted made more sense as I would have needed 2 outdoor condensers if I went with the mini splits in all rooms option.
I think my total price was around $30k. Mitsubishi hyper heat 3 to heat pump, 2 air handlers, 1 wall hanger mini split, 2 of the wireless thermostats, 2 kumo cloud adapters. I also got a $3k rebate back from National Grid, where Carjon supplies all the forms, I just had to fill out my personal info and send them in. (I believe RI energy may have bigger rebates now).
Overall, quality of the install was great. Took about a week to install. When I ordered they were booking installs like 3 months out. My only complaint was the placement of a vent in the bathroom too close to the toilet, but I can see that they had limited options. The system heats and cools super well and is pretty efficient. I haven't needed to use my oil fired baseboard system since I put it in.

First things first: learn how to accelerate to highway speed before merging into traffic. Or, at least, don’t stop at the end of the entrance ramp.

How about teaching use of speed limits.

No one here is advanced enough for center lane usage. They're still learning " don't reverse on the highway".

Thanks for all the info. I'm hoping they have quick install times now compared to when you did yours. We can't go another summer without AC and spending a fortune on oil is crazy. Hoping the solar setup with the heat pumps kills some of those bills.
Did you get electric heat strips with your blowers? Or are you just strictly using oil as a backup?
