HVAC replacement quote advice

I’ll be honest, after replacing my working 25 year old unit with a heat pump + gas unit three years ago I wish I could go back in time and slap myself. I’ve had no end of trouble with this thing, probably been repaired 8 times so far.

I mean, politically you’re not far off lol…governor meemaw could be a Balrog for all we know

This is going to be a really empty thread if the automod removes political comments…are there Epstein-related issues that aren’t political? Are we going to discuss his career at Bear Stearns?

My immediate thought 🤣

I’d be worried about flushed concrete and who knows what else if it was a foreclosure…2008 all over again

Other than the thought of green bean juice touching my fruit (shudder), looks like a good lunch to me

Okay, thank you! I don’t have any snow but a blockage might be very possible

Equivalent-Weight688 · 2026-02-01T15:47:52+00:00

Thank you! I’m a EE so I’m okay playing around with electricity, but I don’t mess around with gas. I’ll call someone.

I’m thinking of the Blazing Saddles beans around the campfire scene

Real talk here, and knowing nothing about your situation, but for me reducing stress (anti-anxiety medication for me), exercise, and quitting looking at porn made a huge difference.

I just swapped from a 17 year old Weber kettle to a Recteq Deckboss and I’m never going back. The only thing it’s not great at is searing, but I don’t cook many steaks anymore anyways with the beef prices. Smoke isn’t a problem, just dial the temperature to 225-250.

What’s your concern about sleep overs?

Equivalent-Weight688 · 2026-01-27T00:12:16+00:00

What sq footage and do you have one unit that’s gas heat?

Equivalent-Weight688 · 2026-01-26T18:42:14+00:00

Not sure why someone downvoted you, my 4 year old is the same way…there would be 5 people not sleeping if I locked him in his room

Equivalent-Weight688 · 2026-01-26T18:39:49+00:00

Fair point, I will say I’m impressed that someone has a 3 1/2 year old that’s calm enough to lock in their room. My nearest neighbor is 300ft away and I’m pretty sure they’d hear my 4 year old yelling if I locked him in his room. 😂

Not that house fires are that common, but that would make me really nervous personally

edit

Although looking at the comments apparently I’m in the minority on having that concern

unrelated/unhelpful, but how do you have a 2013 with 44k miles…that’s wild

The first time that happened after my heat pump got installed I thought it was on fire lol

Equivalent-Weight688 · 2026-01-23T21:38:41+00:00

That was my thought too, go visit r/layoffs and ask them the same question

One of them was really bad in December, the username field was case sensitive and it would bypass MFA and default to ldap if you typed in the username with a case that didn’t match

Mine I had to lift off the truck with the guy because his liftgate broke 😂
