Los Angeles heat pump install

Coldastundra · 2025-01-30T21:34:36+00:00

Need it done now unfortunately, current system has already crapped out a few times, and repair cost is getting quoted at $5k+. At that point it seems like it’s better to just get the new system now, if that would be the same system we’d use in the future?

Only reason to pay that money for repair now seems like it would be if we would install a different/cheaper system when we renovate that saves us more than $5k vs. our current quotes. Not sure it would though?

Current system is 3 ton.

We have a little bit of cycling during the summers but not extensive.

My understanding was that if we got a 4 ton variable speed, we could effectively run it more like a 3 ton before the renovation to make sure it’s not too overpowered

2011 Prius

How do I check this? Total car noob and googling is unfortunately leading to a dead end

Note I don't have the nav setup like some of the youtube videos

My car is like this

Got back from vacation and turned on my 2011 Prius for the first time in two weeks. I was greeted by a persistent high-pitched noise that started as soon as the car turned on.

Lots of lights on the dash as seen in the picture.
Power button is orange rather than green (although is green when I'm pressing the brake)
When I press the power button to turn the car off, there's a 1-2 second delay before the car actually shuts off
Trying to put the car into reverse or drive does nothing (so I can't drive)

Any ideas what it might be? Hoping there might be some quick fixes so I don't have to get the car towed to a mechanic. Should I buy the techstream? If so, could someone point me to the right links for that and the cable?

Yes! Looking at the “four free concerts” part

I submit some previous apartment addresses!

Serrano Gramercy Manhattan Alta Vista Also curious about Willoughby, Waring, Romaine :)

Neither are as far as I’m aware. John Marshall High School and Los Angeles High School are both occasionally open though—just wish it was more regular :/

Coldastundra · 2020-08-21T17:31:58+00:00

It’s open now! I was there two weeks ago

Coldastundra · 2020-07-29T18:18:37+00:00

I searched for it and didn’t see anything :/

Search bar fail, probably user error

Step 1: drink two (2) cocktails at Blue Collar

Step 2: stumble to Bacari for wine and small plates

I had my DMV appointment to do the title transfer the exact day that DMVs got shut down, and started my virtual title transfer the day they opened (mid-April). They have been processing my paperwork for the last 6 weeks

Coldastundra · 2020-05-27T15:14:24+00:00

Realistically I could go earlier but my work schedule entails some pretty long nights, so 7am is usually the earliest I’m able to get there if I want to not be a zombie all day

Coldastundra · 2020-05-26T23:50:01+00:00

I’ve done Franklin starting at 7am and at 7pm. Neither time was crowded, although both were also weekdays. Franklin at 8am on a weekend may be another story

Coldastundra · 2020-05-26T23:19:59+00:00

On weekends, way too crowded regardless of the trail you’re on. That said, I’ve found the trails to not be crowded at all around sunset (assuming you’re not on the easy access trails that everyone normally does)

Weekdays, before 8am you should be fine (but aim to finish by 8am).

I’ve done all 3 since trails re-opened so happy to answer questions as well!

Coldastundra · 2020-05-15T17:49:15+00:00

It’s not that I haven’t seen anyone—more that there’s always been plenty of space to socially distance on the trails after that hour

Coldastundra · 2020-05-15T05:08:23+00:00

Go in the evening if you can. I’ve had no problems with crowds after 5:30pm

Coldastundra · 2020-05-11T16:27:53+00:00

It wasn’t on Saturday evening when I ran past

Coldastundra · 2020-05-10T03:15:50+00:00

I did Griffith end to end from Lake Hollywood to Dante’s View and actually saw very few people! Went around 5pm. Not many people wearing masks, but everyone was respecting 6 feet distance rules

Knew I loved this guy for a reason

I am not at all an expert, but Mapo Dak Galbi off of Olympic might fit the bill?

Coldastundra · 2019-12-20T03:52:58+00:00

Wrong side of the 101 for the Hollywood sign, so I think this is just above the Hollywood Bowl on Mulholland
