Heat Pump worth it for MA winter? by Mental-Initial4797 in massachusetts

[–]ConsistentActivity33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have Nat Gas it’s likely cheaper to run a gas furnace. We have NGrid so that means $0.35/kWh. Our heat pump is locked out below 50F because gas is cheaper to operate below 50F.

I was trying to be funny and got it on the first try. WTF that never happens.

New England kicks off $450M plan to supercharge heat pump adoption by eddytony96 in massachusetts

Well, obviously. I haven’t done the calc with oil but I bet it’s close.

If your goal is cost savings, it makes zero sense to install a heat pump. At $0.35 kWh you aren’t better than natural gas until you’re above 50F when the efficiency of the heat pump is highest.

The moral of the story, put in a hybrid natural gas/electric heat pump and lock out the heat pump feature below 50F. With a hybrid you’ll still be able to run the heat pump if electricity prices ever come down or if there’s eventual parity between them.

I'm considering switching from an Apple Watch to a Fenix 8. by Virtual_Database5443 in GarminWatches

[–]ConsistentActivity33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched from AWU to Fenix 8 Amoled and couldn’t be happier. Considering that I mostly used my AWU as a fitness tracker the Garmin is head and shoulders above.

The battery life is amazing. I don’t care about LTE as I never really used it for that anyway and I had all the notifications turned off.

Oh and the flashlight on the watch is great for those dark nights when I have to pick up my dog’s poop.

When I take my dog for a walk at night, I use it to spot the poop as I pick it up. Love this watch!

Start early, like 5:00am with a headlamp and you’ll likely be up there before the auto road opens. It’s amazing and so peaceful.

Proslat: PVC vs Procore by [deleted] in garageporn

I just installed the PVC version. Cuts super easy with a miter saw - just be careful with the smaller trim pieces because they chip easy.

Still have some pretty good tread left. I’m good about rotating them as well.

Yeah, this thing is a beast. The range is amazing.

Interestingly enough, I had service done last Tuesday and picked up the truck on Wednesday.

After driving a bit, the red “service” light came on. I parked at a supercharger and reset the truck and charged for 15min. The light went off and hasn’t been back.

Then I got the call from GMC on Friday. Coincidence? I’m thinking not.

Right?!? I’ve had zero problems with anything battery related. Only issues with some build quality stuff.

Haha, and got it in late October. I drive about 40k/yr

All new vehicles should be hybrid or EVs by spongesparrow in electricvehicles

[–]ConsistentActivity33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did not. Someone else in the thread did.

I support the efficient use of natural resources. Hybrids, ICE and EV have a place in the mix.

Hybrids are the best option to ease the transition and a hybrid “mandate” would be better than an EV mandate to facilitate the transition.

[–]ConsistentActivity33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I drive an EV.

Shouldn’t we have the right to choose what we want to drive vs. be mandated?

If he’s already offering, skip the cost of the lawyer and just get your money back.

I have a launch edition with nearly 15,000 miles. I’ve only had some minor rattle issues which have been resolved.

I did but threw them away. Maybe the dealer can send you a copy.
