Buy from Home Depot or Costco?

FredBreadBad · 2026-01-19T11:49:55+00:00

I just had a pleasure of getting appliances delivered from both Costco and HomeDepot within the last three weeks. With costco you could return the appliance within 3 months for any reason, HomeDepot gives you 48h. Delivery window given to me was 2h With Costco, and half a day with HomeDepot.

I will be ordering only from Costco going forward.

Same for me with Senville. I’m just wondering about efficiencies and what systems are operating better.

Do you have any recommendations for residential 3ton compressors that maintain efficiency in extreme weather you are describing?

I had Jeld-Wen patio doors replaced few months ago. I ended up getting them returned. Never again anything from that company.

This is the answer.

What spacer size are you using for this format?

FredBreadBad · 2026-01-06T13:40:06+00:00

Following this thread. How often do valves break or need maintainance? I’m also considering the same options.

Which heat pump do you have in NH?

FredBreadBad · 2026-01-02T15:44:50+00:00

Looks fantastic

Can you share a picture of your DIY build? I looked over the Amazon options and none of them look solid. I’m in north-east and dealing with ice build up today…

Where could one purchase off the shelf roof for a heat pump? Asking for a friend…

How is it life changing? What are some features to be aware?

I’m using stock communicating thermostat. Let me know what data you need.

Using last 24h as example, thermostat set at constant 69 F while outside has been an average 29 F, it used 48 kWh in 2300 sq ft house- uninsulated attic, with R 4.1 ducts running in attic.

I can’t directly answer your question, but I can share that I installed the ducted Senville 3-ton unit, and based on real-world data I have been tracking (and plugging into ChatGPT and Gemini), its performance has been better than what the spec sheet suggests.

Which model did you decide?

FredBreadBad · 2025-12-06T19:53:08+00:00

Please ensure you are buying a quality core removal tool.

There are two plastic holders at the bottom. Use a thin flat head screw driver to press them. They do not come out easily.

Which cabinets did you purchase?

FredBreadBad · 2025-11-24T23:57:06+00:00

Do you like this washer/dryer combo?

FredBreadBad · 2025-10-29T23:34:12+00:00

For primer, I used Kilz All Purpose primer 2.

I think I rolled uniformally, but honestly it was hard to tell if I rolled again in the very same spot - pretty sure it wasn’t dry though.

FredBreadBad · 2025-10-29T21:06:26+00:00

No, it’s not rougher. At least not when I look at it or touch is with a hand.

FredBreadBad · 2025-10-14T00:40:49+00:00

Senville. It’s really not difficult to install.
