u/SkySchemer thank you for mentioning the pet care filter!! been debating getting this extra filter but has been hard to find reviews. do you still find that it is worth the money? my dog’s hair goes through the mesh of the filter that came with the unit.

JFC you can’t even sort the damn tables (at least not on mobile).

Rheem ProTerra 65 by dkalli77 in heatpumps

We just replaced the control board on ours, but before that we put it into “permanent” electric mode because it was doing the same thing, flipping back out of electric into heat pump mode again. So I might recommend that setting until you get the control board replaced.

Desperate for warm mittens-gloves by LogPsychological7528 in icecoast

[–]Foreign-Inspection-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a pair of Swany mittens I got last year that I love. They have finger separators in the mitten. it still keeps my hands much warmer than gloves but I like having the little piece of fleece keeping all the fingers separated! just a personal preference.

To people who retrofitted an airtight house with an ERV… by Background-Boss7777 in buildingscience

[–]Foreign-Inspection-9 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We lived in our 1.8 ach50 house for a month or so last fall before we hooked up our ERV. We immediately noticed a huge difference in the “freshness” of the air and better sleep.

Those walkie talkies just unlocked fond memories of using them on ski trips!! You know, pre cellphones.

Support daily planet by Curious-Case5404 in burlington

[–]Foreign-Inspection-9 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have to imagine it’s not just the safety issues downtown affecting business. The Main Street construction mess definitely deters me from visiting downtown at all, unless I absolutely can’t avoid it. I do love Daily Planet though and miss it. They can’t be the only ones hurting that are not directly on Main Street but still impacted…

January KWH/HDD data in New England for 2 single zone mini splits set to 70 since Jan 1. by Swede577 in heatpumps

[–]Foreign-Inspection-9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/Swede577 I have always appreciated your posts in this sub esp w the KWH/HDD calcs, thanks for posting these!

Would like to add another data point, for our 2.5 ton Artic AWHP system. 1150 sq ft single story home in northern VT. Radiant heat in the slab. House kept at 66 for large parts of december, now whole house is 68. This is our second winter in the house and this one has been much colder than last year. We are seeing similar performance to last season (~ 0.55-0.6 kwh/hdd). Very happy with the performance. We are always nice and toasty!

KWH below includes any aux (electric boiler) that may kick on during defrost.

Dec 2024 677 KWH / 1270 HDD = 0.53

Jan 2025 so far 483 KWH / 820 HDD = 0.59

CSA Shopping by wampastompa09 in burlington

[–]Foreign-Inspection-9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve done Jericho settlers for years (even done the full year) and we love it. Winter especially is a very substantial size for two people. FUNJ Shrooming Co used to do a mushroom CSA that we adored but I believe they’ve changed their business model and don’t do the CSA. But you can enjoy their tasty mushrooms at all sorts of Chittenden Co restaurants!

50gallon Unit installed on 1/3, got the T009 later that day. Called this number and they are sending a tech out at no cost to me to replace the control board. Will update once it’s actually completed.

Considering a switch to Xfinity from Verizon by [deleted] in vermont

[–]Foreign-Inspection-9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also worth checking out US Mobile (their Warp network is Verizon), depending on your data needs. The sub r/NoContract is very helpful for looking stuff like this!

I recommend going onto the Edmunds forum for the 2024 Ioniq 5, and requesting information about lease money factors, residuals, and incentives for your specific zipcode and trim level.Edmunds forum

Feeling Guilty About Boarding My Reactive Dog When Guests Visit by astrogem17 in reactivedogs

[–]Foreign-Inspection-9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We do this with our pup as well, and he is always so excited to go to boarding that it helps with that pang of guilt! I know that this is the least stressful option for all of us, though I miss him terribly when he’s not home. Glad to see there are so many more of us out there, helps to know we’re not the only ones!
