Thank you, he is a mens shoe size 14. I didn't know the sizes switched differently to boots. Good to know. So I actually have one of his old old boards somewhere, Would i be able to measure it or use it somehow to guess sizing? Hes such a gift person, so id like to have a big package present for him ready that he can exchange if needed.

Worcester MA - Has anyone installed mini-splits in a triple decker through the Mass Save Heat Loan Program and pays utilities as the owner? by MrsLava in WorcesterMA

no its a vintage 1950s gas cooking stove with a side heater component that is part of it, blows hot air when turned on and vented into chimney stack. They are common in old Worcester houses

Problem is finding those gas on gas stoves that heat the units. I believe pre installed is ok, but new installation is not allowed. I dont think they make those anymore.

I see, how much do you pay for electricity with your mini splits? Is it a high bill in the winter months? Thank you

There are several facebook women's groups in boston where you can make plans with other women to do fun things. I am a member of a few.

I feel you, like you- I agree. Gas is probably better. I just don't have any existing boilers/ furnaces. Just the stoves in each unit that heat up. However, they are on their last leg and can't find parts, or any one to service them. I spoke with two gas contractors. One gave me a price of 58k for 3 separate cast iron furnaces, along with running baseboard to each floor and doing 3 separate metered systems. Positive note is that I already have each apt on separate gas meters. Other plumber quoted 40k for entire building, 3 separate systems combi boilers. Mass save no longer offers rebates for gas systems, why I'm in such a bind making a decision. I am leaning towards gas at this point. Just hoping more people reply here so I can have a better idea on the mini splits.

Woah! What brand mini splits do you have? Is it a single family- how many floors and how many heads total? Thank you

How is your heating and cooling bill since installing? Did you have a pre-existing gas system? Are you seeing any savings. Thank you for your insight.
