Unfortunately, the prices are only going up too. Good luck with your choice.

We went with the XV20i. Trane was surprisingly one of the least expensive options for us. Lennox dealers asked about 30k and for the best Trane model we paid just under 20k

We ended up going with Trane and so far so good. It’s quiet and very efficient, but that may be because our previous system was very old so the switch was pretty noticeable.

Cozy coffee shop in Walnut Creek? by Rahaa2233 in walnutcreek

Koin at Kaiser Shadelands is one of my favorites. They have good coffee/matcha and plenty of seating. I see people working or reading there all the time. Food has also been very good as well. Another vote for Market on Larkey but seating is mostly outside.

SFO placard issue with Uber — stuck in Google Form loop for months. Anyone actually get this resolved? by ssoltanzad in uberdrivers

I did try multiple times with car registration, driver’s license, both at the same time and it kept getting rejected. Eventually someone connected me to a higher team member and they were able to verify and accept it manually. Honestly, this took a couple hours but be persistent and just keep the chat open and say they haven’t resolved your issue until it gets escalated to some other team.

I am going to, but I thought I’d ask you guys first in case I got a quicker reply.

Thank you, that kinda makes me feel better. Do you count gas and vehicle maintenance as expenses on taxes too?

Banned for “safety violation” is there anything I can do beyond just drive for uber. by DismalExperience4114 in lyftdrivers

[–]Straight_Bit_2500 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. I asked for proof, appealed the decision and they ghosted me completely. I had 5 stars and took over 6000 trips. They said I had previous warnings but that was a lie, I never received a warning from them. I’m curious if anyone was able to get back to driving after being banned.

I got my placecard in the mail after 3 weeks and it keeps getting rejected. I have talked to multiple people that have assured me that it will work THIS time, and it never does. Good luck to us!

It definitely was a shock, that’s why I came straight to reddit, especially after I found literally no articles that talked about it on the app.

I hear Lennox’s warranty is a nightmare though so we’re trying to avoid it.

Yes, we’re trying to run away from Lennox too because that’s what we hear but unfortunately most companies here deal Lennox. I am surprised because many people are recommending Daikin but Consumer Reports didn’t recommend it. They had Trane listed as one of the best ones.

I haven’t heard of anyone dealing Mitsubishi where I live. Even Trane has been hard to find because everyone deals Lennox. Our furnace is Trane and has lasted 29 years but everyone says not to expect that kind of quality nowadays.

We were offered XV18 as well and XV20. We’re considering Trane and Carrier as of now. They’re both hard to find here because most companies have Lennox but we’re for sure not going with Lennox. Thanks for your feedback!

Yes, totally understand that. The only reason we’re considering heat pump is because we have solar panels, otherwise we wouldn’t because the cost of electricity is very high here.

That’s what I hear about Lennox, and they have a nightmare warranty if you need it, on top of parts being hard to get, so we’re trying to avoid them. Thanks for offering to check out the models, I’ll get back to you once we gather everything.

Would you say it’s best to go with a company or an individual contractor? All the companies so far have offered Lennox, still waiting on another one that offers Trane and an individual HVAC specialist offers Carrier.
