> Can’t call for help when there is no cell phone service.

Are you kidding me? They have cellular service out in the north, western mass, out in the middle of the woods. I would be surprised to find someplace in central mass without coverage. Without data, I can imagine, but at the very least, phone service.

The dealer provided extended service guarantee

48K seems very high. We didn’t do a full house replacement as we have an addition with central air but we got two outdoor compressors and 5 inside units for just under 23K (before the rebate) and it probably covers about 2300 sq ft in our house.

Can’t call for help when there is no cell phone service.

It’s getting down into the low 20s tonight bud, you’re gonna wanna shovel as much as you can or else you’ll have a layer of rock hard snow/ice.

At least you got called within your own county! I live in one county and got called by a different county. I sent the jury duty slip back saying I wouldn't be attending because I live outside of the county and gave my address.

In the Southampton / Easthampton area, we hardly received anything. But I did shovel it because the slush we did have would likely freeze tonight.

It is the type of stuff that looks like black ice, only slush because at first glance it does not look like there is anything out there. But I lifted more than a few shovels full, from the nearly "see-through" slush, and I am glad I did.

No problem. If you plan on charging off peak regardless, it might be worth it for you to go through that process, as the model Y does qualify for it. You’d have to do the math, figure out how much you’d be saving, and determine whether it’s worth the time and convenience.

No such thing as a 25 yr warranty. Highest warranty is 12yrs if a diamond dealer installed it

If you have no where to go tomorrow maybe just make a sidewalk path and then let it be. Shoveling it will just leave exposed surface to freeze overnight but if you have to go to work in the morning you’ll probably want to shovel a bit tonight

You can appeal for a closer location if you can demonstrate a transportation hardship - like no access to a car and public transit won't get you there by the appointed time.

Look up recessed ductless units from Mitsubishi

Holy crap - I got a ductless split in 2019 installed for 13k - 1600 SF house in Salem - two recessed mistubishi units in upstairs bedrooms and a ducted first floor - single heat pump 3 zones - look up recessed ceiling mounted units - wife also didn’t like the look of the head units sticking out and the recessed units did the trick

You are eligible for anything in your county. You're in Middlesex county, so it can be any court within Middlesex county.

It’s by county. If you’re in the same county as Lowell, ya gotta go.

Woburn and Lowell are both in Middlesex County. This is why you're being called there, the main court for Middlesex county is in Lowell.

Yes, it would be wise to intend to appear for jury duty.

What county do you live in?

The latter. Plus a 25 year warranty

Doubtful it'll melt overnight. Going to shovel before it freezes and becomes harder to remove.

Your jury duty will likely get called off the day before anyway. If it is your district, just take the date.

I do have a basement but not sure why it would be a factor. Unless your talking about something besides ductless mini splits.

Well said! I'm glad someone put the truth out here. The "Fitchburg is a dump" posts out here get tiresome.

I grew up in Lunenburg and lived in Fitchburg for a while. I've lived in Ashburnham for the last 25 years. I shop in Fitchburg every week and never have problems.

Fitchburg was quite a place in the 60s and 70s when the factories were running and it certainly went downhill when they closed but just like all other New England cities it has bad sections.

Roads are crappy all over north central Mass, not just Fitchburg.

Way too much and sounds oversized if you have even a little insulation.

I got my 1300 sq ft 2 level home (3 bed 1 bath) done in Nov for $17,000 (before the rebate). 30k btu outdoor unit, 3 indoor heads (1 large for the entire downstairs open floor plan, and one in each of the 2 main bedrooms). LGRed system. Likely should have a 4th for my small office ‘bedroom’ and maybe have gone for the 36000 btu, but still all is working extremely well. Only quote I got even close to that was going ducted heat pumps (we have no existing ductwork) and even that was only $30,000

Confirm your district first.
