Reply to Got a quote for a ductless mini split.. $48K for 1300 sq. ft. house. Too much? by EuclidsStairs
Winter is probably the worst time to shop for heating appliances for obvious reasons. Id try again in the spring.

Sounds like someone's taking advantage of you i would definitely get other quotes before starting anything. Try getting three quotes never let the other contractors know how much or who gave you a quote good luck.

I used to ski there back in the 70's.

I live in Worcester county and I always get a summons for just duty in Franklin county and usually all I do is call them and notify them I do not live in their county and they tell me not to appear.

I had oil which is much costlier than natural gas, my heat pump was $28k before rebate (2400sqft house). With solar panels and all the math in the world, I'll get my money back by year 27. If you get a heat pump, get it for the comfort and whatever being green is worth for you; don't get it to save money.

Just shoveled. Super wet and heavy. Feel like it could be frozen and awful in the morning.

Reply to comment by throwawaycsdds in So are we shoveling this tonight or hoping it melts tomorrow? by tardub
Yeah even if it doesn't stop I think it's better to shovel so you can salt and make it easier on yourself to clean up tomorrow if needed.

I just paid $8,900. With a $10 k rebates, so $18,900. For three mini splits to heat and cool a 1700 sf house.
Sandri in Greenfield did it.
I heat with wood anyway, this is back up. It's a good deal for a heating system for when (if ever) I go away over night.

I was amazed by that too.

Worcester area - we’ve got a thin layer of crunchy snow, a good layer of ice and now a heavy layer of heavy wet on top. Have to shovel but also have to avoid the trees that are breaking from the extra weight

I paid $16k for a 1500 sq ft house back in 2016. It’s an LG system, probably not as efficient at temps below around 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit, but it works just fine for heat most of the time.

Reply to Are Fitchburg and Leominster really that bad? If they are, what are some decent commutable areas to the Dirty Burg? by quark_the_bear
It just seems like an economically depressed area that has seen better days. Buildings and fussiness need updates lol

Watatic is one of my favorite central MA hikes. Not too strenuous and with great views.

Wow. Are you happy with the quality of work done? If so, I’d love to know who you hired. I’m about to start calling around for quotes.

Seriously man!!! I wonder who could be the lucky owner of that house. So serene and surreal.

Might be worth a quick consultation with Abode — they helped us understand options and key questions to ask and gave us a shortlist of contractors during a $100 consult.

So coincidental I was talking to my wife all the way that after hiking Mt Fuji I am so appreciative to the natural looking trails. Not a big fan of concrete type trails.

Waaaay too much. 1600 Aw foot house and we paid $14000, but they also upgraded our breaker to 220 amp service.

MT Watatic is one of our best kept secrets. It's nearby, a relatively easy hike, and gorgeous views.
