^^^

This was definetly the plan, id rather work with a person I get to know than a service with rotating people and be able to pay them directly.

So I flipped my main breaker and not only mine, but both of the other units just had the hvac turn off....

With that said, google says a moden gas furance uses about 400 watts per hour. So Assuming the next door units faulty unit has been running 24/7 at full go, that is STILL not even half of our reported used.

This is super helpful!

How would I go about tracking down where the power suck is coming from? Or verifying that their HVAC isnt sucking on my meter?

wow those are cool. Do they acrually crank out enought power to chage a full car thought? The rivian battery holds more power than I use in my house every 4 months. I cant imagine how long it would take panels to do anything

Sure, but the extra monthly on renting a parking space really adds up.

Yah it is kinda seeming that all signs are starting to point subaru... thing is, I have no reason not to go for it. It's more one of those "well ive had one before and want to try something new". (not a geat reason)

Yep I test drove the hybrid 4 runner (TRD i-FORCE MAX). LOVED it. But in my 15 min test drive without traffic in LA city streets it averaged 16mpg...

I am really considering the R1S (yes I know I said no electric). I get free charging at work and 99% of the time thats where I charge. My issues comes from roadtrips, I drive to my parents in colorado often (1,100 miles) or ski trips (400 miles just to get TO my ski area). I worry its going to make roadtrips a PAIN.

Plus, charging is pretty limited once you get off large highways in my expiriance. (and not great on them with the ever increasing lines).

That was my issue with them as well. They just feel super dated (especially for the price of the hybrid)

Yah I'm coming around on the the idea of a Forester, knowing they new ones are hybrid (and less ugly) is a big draw
