Yup. Brandishing IMO should be handled damn near as close as actual assault/battery. If that dude had caught a bullet cause he felt like waving a gun around it would’ve been only his fault, and placing that burden on somebody else is awful.

But with the way things have been going he’ll be out in PR bail in 12 minutes and back to it.

Mini Split (2) mitshubishi hyper heat. Both felt warm to the touch firday night, but around midnight bascially stopped blowing air. They kept looking and sounded like they would begin blowing strong but didn't most of the night.

The numbers quoted "feel" right for capacity. I'd say below 17F is where I start to see a noticeable drop in capacity. Anything above that and it has no issues covering the load. Fortunately, the heat pump is the upstairs zone and the downstairs is still forced hot water (oil) and a pellet stove so the coldest days I overheat the downstairs zone to makeup for the dip in capacity.

I wouldn't sweat it. The general rule of thumb is to not buy a house unless you plan to be there at least 5 years so its best to just put it out of your mind until you do decide to move.

Housing prices everywhere are dropping, but they'll rebound. NH is only going to get more populated.

Yes. You can definitely do this. Gas heating costs can be tough to beat at lower temps, but above 25 or 30 the mini split is likely a slam dunk and that covers a lot of winter hours. The only trouble is that heat pumps can be kind of expensive and the cost might be tough to justify if you only use it a little.

OTOH, with the new heat pump rebates in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), I think it might always make financial sense to go with a high efficiency mini-split heat pump over of a plain mini-split AC. The heat pump rebate should more than cover the additional cost of the upgrade.
