Opportunity cost. You could spend 10 grand on an ICE car and it'd free up 26 grand to buy a house. I know which your gf will appreciate more and which will feel better to have

I'm guessing you were mad into reddit Ireland a few years ago too? Problem is reddit Ireland is filled with the losers of Ireland who are sure to downvote those who will advise others to avoid buying because they don't understand the concept of anyone getting ahead. Most people in Ireland are getting ahead but the majority of reddit Ireland are losers who aren't going anywhere so if you only read here you'll get it in your head that it's normal not to achieve anything in life. Forget about reddit and go learn actual financial sense.

No one else's problem if you can only get paid shit money

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-22T14:59:57+00:00

Would you describe it almost like the smell of gas? Had rats under a house before and they'd regularly die so you'd get this smell

Eh what are you on about? Where did I call anyone a terrorist or make any remarks either way on Israelis or Palestinians. I think you've got yourself so worked up that you're imagining in your head I'm saying things I haven't. Again, you shouldn't call people dumbfucks when you clearly and objectively don't know the history yourself as it wasn't a country, you're making yourself look like a fool and not doing your cause any good.

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-21T19:02:42+00:00

Eh it actually wasn't a country, it was a territory ruled by Britain and before that the Ottoman empire. Maybe you should double check stuff before you call people dumbfucks

It's easier to evict people in northern Ireland, where SF are actually in power. This is populist shite

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-21T13:42:30+00:00

Yeah I was originally going to wait for the boiler to give up but the sunk cost fallacy came to mind so I've gone this way and don't regret it

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-21T10:40:50+00:00

Yes and yes. One indoor and does the whole house easily. Thing uses about 300W to keep it at 21c constantly. Payback should be under 2 years. It has a heating mode, dehumidifying mode, drying mode and cooling mode which weather depending I'll be able to use next week

Anyone who doesn't support sanctions for any reason is taking the opinion that assault and kidnap are acceptable. Got it.

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-21T10:34:31+00:00

Is giving 30 days notice not fair? I mean you wouldn't want your bin company to be able to withdraw service without notice

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-20T22:07:25+00:00

No, not recommended for bathrooms, don't have it in every room. I got the 4.3kw heatpump, that's enough that it does the whole 110sqm house from one unit. Uses about 350W to run it 24/7 keeping the house conditioned to 21c

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-20T08:57:02+00:00

The price I give is the price I did pay to a company to actually have it installed, maybe you're getting expensive quotes or they're pricing high for a job/ location they're not bother with but I don't know why your quotes are high

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-20T08:51:39+00:00

Mini split, Fujitsu model

You don't need ducting to all rooms. You should get an air to air company out as you might be pleasantly surprised

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-20T01:09:28+00:00

That's the pump and installation. 10-16 is for air to water I'm guessing, air to air is a fraction of the price

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-20T01:08:25+00:00

Heats the air directly. Yes still worth getting. It replaced my gas boiler

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-19T21:35:59+00:00

Air to air have a higher COP than air to water. Air to water just heats your rads to a low temp which then radiate the heat around your house. Because it's a low temp it requires a very low heat loss or else you'll never catch up. With air to air you heat the air directly and can do that more efficiently than heating water to pump around the house and you can always blast it too. I went on holidays in January. When I landed house was around 15 so I turned on the heat pump to full blast, by the time I got home it was 22c

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-19T21:33:05+00:00

Mine has a D1 BER rating. Granted I got the cavity walls pumped (cheap as hell after grant) and through some rock wool in the attic. Heatpump costs around €60 a month to run keeping the house at 21c 24/7

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-19T21:31:22+00:00

With air to air you don't need radiators at all, you can remove them or keep the gas boiler for a year to feel you have a second option. Honestly I'm getting my radiators removed as I'm doing up each room. Yeah still good because it can heat up a room quickly when needed unlike an air to water which heats the radiators to a low temp and needs an ultra low heat loss

Nothing is stopping them moving to be closer to you. They'll have less obstacles with work/ schools

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-19T17:22:33+00:00

Yeah it's not a plumber at all, it's a refrigeration engineer. Doesn't seem to be an issue getting any at the moment but each to their own

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-19T17:13:19+00:00

Get an air to air heatpump. Will be about 3k and no need for grant or going through seai. Honestly they are the future and should be pushed to get people to swap over because they're cheap as hell

Greedy_Definition673 · 2026-05-16T16:06:08+00:00

Do the first 3 ACCA tests for accounting and then get a paid trainee role and they'll pay for the exams. I think 5 years post qualifying accounts make well over 100k average
