We have a new heat pump AC/heating unit, it has zero issues keeping the house cold, and we also have plenty of shade. The new AC unit is about $80 less a month to keep the house even cooler than before. It's wild how efficient they are.

That sounds like a great setup! I'm in an apartment so just a free standing AC unit is the best I can do, but I got the model that's meant for more square footage than we have so it does a well enough job.

Oh hey, you're the mod for this community. Sorry for not dropping a more interesting link here, just trying to get some more activity in the PNW group haha

Don't know what you're talking about, this is a great discussion topic with heatwaves and potential fires incoming.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Fair point, I guess this thread does cover more than just "how about this weather?" lol

Speaking of fires, the same mitigations that people can get going (air purifiers, n95 masks) are also what we need to be doing against COVID so it's great to get people talking about air quality. I am airqualitypilled and protectionmaxxing myself

How much was it to get one (the unit and labor)? My problem is we cadet heaters in every room so I am not sure how a heat pump would work to get heat (or AC) into each room.

It was about 4k all in. Based on returns though, absolutely worth the upfront capital.

Wow, I was quoted like 12k a couple of years ago. Apparently they have come down in cost. Good to know. Thanks!
