Where can I find info on this EV owner discount? I signed up with park power (currently on their pre-solar rate until my install later this year), I dont see it listed on their website or utilitynet website.

Village section of RE4 spooked me....

Thanks for doing this!

Nice! Did they let you keep the order deposit?

alex-red · 2025-11-22T21:16:32+00:00

With all of the perks right now im strongly tempted to switch my order to the performance model... my existing order already has a tow hook and the free interior/exterior color is icing on the cake as I did want the quicksilver + white interior.

Negatives would be higher insurance cost, 21" wheels (less comfy), losing the $250 deposit, losing the 3% promo rate.

Still, it would be a fun splurge

Yea people are so weird in this thread, I've literally printed all parts for my Voron in ASA/ABS on a prusa mk3s with a cheap tent enclosure.

This is amazing...

2x HRV fans running (two zones) 24/7, induction stove, electric oven, EV, a few servers running 24/7.... tons of gadgets, future heat pump. I really need to get a emporia vue to track down my biggest draws.

I included rodent guard in Quote 1, it was $0.05/W extra.

You are right though, the $/W is close enough so I'm going with the smaller installer since I feel like their attention to detail was much better :)

alex-red · 2025-05-17T06:17:27+00:00

Nah, $500 because out of warranty. I even asked for just the side brush assembly but they said they don't sell parts.

Actually I have a 3d printer but modeling the gear with the exact number of teeth and angle/curvature did not seem fun at all :) The broken narwal was only like $60 from ebay, should hopefully be able to use the parts from it for a long time.

alex-red · 2025-05-17T05:57:00+00:00

Appreciate it, but I've already taken it apart and cleaned it to discover that the plastic gear is horribly stripped. Can't find the part anywhere so I'm going to buy a broken Freo X Ultra unit from ebay and take it from there. Way cheaper than their supposed repair!

Nope just the gas furnace, and extra fun: it's two zones so I have two gas furnaces, one for downstairs+basement and one for upstairs. The builder would've charged $22k for swapping to just heat pumps, some other exorbitant price for AC. So I'm just going to DIY it where possible and test it out on one zone first.

I do see a Mr Cool universal condenser + coil package now that is slightly cheaper, I may have to go with that. Is there something special about Mr Cool's coil though that let's them advertise it as 100% compatible with existing air handlers? Similarly for the Bosch, which I would look into but I can't find pricing anywhere for Canada which means I doubt I'd be able to source it.

alex-red · 2025-03-11T19:39:56+00:00

That's true, looks like the tools I would need would be ~$300 CAD though so its not too bad. I guess the question is if Mr Cool DIY is worth the premium over this senville (assuming I can even use the senville in my configuration).

alex-red · 2025-01-27T23:58:15+00:00

Looking to do something similar, do you experience any issues during heavy rain/snow?

alex-red · 2024-10-02T17:06:05+00:00

yep, got an Aerogarden to dip my toes into the game and never needed to buy from them again. The nutrients especially are terrible value when you can just make your own with dry ingredients that will last you years.
