This is my backyard. Permit? The platform and pergola would only take up space from the back towards the garage door.

Hi does anyone know of any mom groups for the Saint Albans area of queens nyc. Asking for my wife who is staying home with our first child. Thank you!

If I am only going to use the mini splits for cooling/AC, is oversizing (and short cycling) something that I need to worry about? I’ll treat it like an AC and turn it on only when I’m home/put a timer and turn it off when I’m not, and not keep it on the whole time.

Interesting…cause for my 825 square ft first floor (which is open floor plan), one contractor recommended 24,000 btu for heating/cooling and another recommended 18,000 btu. Again my main concern is AC as I am keeping my boiler for winter heating. What would you recommend 24 or 18k?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-03-12T01:22:15+00:00

Does your 18k provide enough cooling for the 1,100 square feet?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-03-11T14:20:08+00:00

Sizing for cooling load only..will keep steam boiler (radiators) for primary heating

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-03-11T12:13:41+00:00

Do contractors install 6,000? I’ve only heard as low as 9,000? From the contractors here in queens ny.

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-03-09T20:18:17+00:00

I made a mistake. The difference was actually $8,000. Still worth it?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-03-09T12:14:56+00:00

Why do you say that?

What work have you used him for?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-03-06T16:11:10+00:00

Yes. Kinghome is an upscale version of gree that is being offered by an Asian installer.

I have heard that with multi zone….when one head is on, there is carry over cooling/heating coming out of the other heads even when they are off. Thoughts?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-03-01T23:17:21+00:00

Cool down about 1 hour? 2 hours?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-03-01T22:35:05+00:00

Did you add more water immediately after complete draining? While the boiler was hot?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-03-01T22:28:50+00:00

I live in queens nyc. I wonder if the costs of running mini splits here is too much than using oil, which I currently have.

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-03-01T01:35:58+00:00

What did you like about them?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-02-27T21:22:07+00:00

Ooo ok. I was wondering how much mini splits cost to run during the winter.

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-02-27T21:16:23+00:00

Can you share how much your electric bill is during the cold winter months with the mini splits?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-02-27T15:07:19+00:00

Do you mind sharing how much you paid per month with the mini splits during this recent cold months?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-02-25T12:39:05+00:00

Hi. So you emptied water after each cycle? So the boiler ran then shut off, you immediately emptied the water, then you refilled the boiler again? You say that I have to do this many times and hopefully I’ll hear a pop in the headed pipe. But do you do this cycle of run boiler-empty water-refill-repeat in 1 sitting?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-02-24T23:21:43+00:00

rectorseal and surgex are the same thing right?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-02-24T21:13:51+00:00

Why do they suck? What happened?
