You also have to really look hard into the 10k rebate. It’s quite hard to get . You need to install a kumo station and thermostats . The problem is kumo cloud devices are on back order so companies are installing flirs thermostats. It’s similar to putting a nest thermostat on a ductless. You loose all vrf functionality with them. They do not modulate,thus loosing efficiency

Nah, show up

Is there anything left of the ski lodge?

About 2 here in Malden but it’s very wet

Thats my house!

That’s an outrageous price for a 3 zone . Was it a 3 zone 30kbtus or a 3 zone 36kbtu with a branch box?

4” so far in Haverhill. I definitely need to clean up tomorrow morning.

Shit , I’m in mass and a refrigeration license. Most residential guys don’t have licenses . Also most of their refrigeration calculations are off because they don’t use Dimond system builder . I’ll do it for 32.

Ripping you off massively

I have a 2200 sq foot house. We had splits installed this summer for $20,000… in central mass.

Seems high for the house size but I'd need a lot of elaboration on the quote to see how unreasonable this is

How many heads? What brand/model? Is there electrical upgrade work needed (panel replacement). What's the siding on your house (masonry could raise the price a bit).

I usually recommend getting at least three quotes for large projects like these.

Also, it might be worthwhile asking your homeworks auditor if they are still offering rebates on integrated systems. This would integrate your mini splits with the steam boiler so you would use natural gas when the outside temp drops below the optimal level for the mini split

Have two (Y and 3) as our only vehicles and no issues skiing, camping, etc. (will go ahead and ride the downvotes out I guess)

He said coffeeshop not dispensary /s

Your contractor says they don't want to do your house. That is crazy expensive. Always get there quotes when doing work like this.

Fuck that quote I got 2 mini splits in my multi family for 14k plus 1.5k for the electrician

Waaaay out of line. I just had a 4 head system installed this past October for 17k. House is approximately 2000 sq Ft.

I would also like to know why my OT on Holidays went away considering I work every major holiday and its not voluntary

I live a little further out (Athol, Orange) and I'll add - we have fantastic mountain biking out here. Also a LOT of disc golf courses. Fitchburg is home to 978 disc golf - the only DG store in the area, and Coggshall Disc Golf Course is close by. It's a lot of fun and good way to meet local active people of all ages.

Literally just got a quote from a company today for 2 units, 1 ducted for upstairs, and 3 heads (ranging from 9000-15000 BTU's) for downstairs, and the total quote was $38K before the MassSave rebates.

Yeah we got a cheap-o 18k Mr.Cool system that was like…$2k and you can install it yourself. Cools and heats the 1st floor of our 2000sqft home with no issues.

Support sucks if you need it, but better than paying $10k+ for a single zone

Been in Fitchburg for about 20 years now. Neighborhood is nice, clean and quiet. You're young, but schools here do not suck. There are more non chain restaurants and bakeries opening up in the city. And plenty of cannabis shops. But finding anything like you're looking for is not going to happen. At least nothing where I would point someone. And yeah, the roads are horrible. But I was visiting my mom on the South Shore of MA recently, and the roads down there are getting just as bad as they are here.

Gardner isn't bad, and has a growing downtown. If you wanted roommates I would suggest Lowell.

One of my favorite places to go. I was up there Saturday, and it was phenomenal. I appreciate having a mountain nearby that’s in a mostly natural state.

Do you have a basement? Im looking at possibly getting a heat pump, but we dont have a basement which could be a problem as I have been told.

We're about 1700 sq ft and we did mini splits plus complete oil to gas conversion last spring for about $26k for everything. We used 128 plumbing which are known for being expensive, but they did good work, got it done quickly, and we've been happy with it. We are 2 floors and have 2 units, a large on the first floor and a slightly smaller on the second floor and it cools the entire house.

Well they install the mini splits and then the installer goes and gets a hot tub and a new car with the difference. Duh.
