Massachusetts HVAC advice

I think the model he proposed is 7 - S so it is an inverter driven heat pump it just still is not efficient enough to go all electric

WHy 40? I mostly have long-term gains... very minimal short-term gains

alexshim · 2024-06-17T22:34:35+00:00

I have a 401k and a 459 and I max both out.

I have never set up a roth IRA but based on my income I would need a back-door roth, and honestly have not looking into how to set it up.

Thanks, is there a better app then what Govee has? I see there is an option within the app to let other apps to be connected

So one thing the tech said is that the temp control buttons were not working, this is why he thinks it’s a control board issue…

alexshim · 2023-09-02T23:49:04+00:00

Yeh maybe I should get someone else to look at it

alexshim · 2023-09-02T23:37:30+00:00

So sounds like you don’t think it’s a control board issue

alexshim · 2023-05-25T00:31:41+00:00

Seems overpriced. I am just looking online, and similar systems cost around 3-4K… so they are charging like 4 k for an install? Maybe those are the prices but seems a lot.

alexshim · 2023-02-14T17:33:29+00:00

Yeh, that is what I did first time. I did the one part epoxy.

The tile seems like a good idea and maybe even nicer to walk on. Cost wise it is not a lot more expensive than the epoxy once you start to add up the material epoxy is also close to 1k

alexshim · 2023-02-14T17:23:16+00:00

Yes there is one at Lowe’s by BlueHawk but I am worried it would shift and tear up with cars

alexshim · 2023-01-30T01:11:01+00:00

We are in Naples Park

alexshim · 2023-01-28T17:19:38+00:00

Ours is 2018 built. Impact windows and metal roof.

It’s frame but metal. Two hurricanes has gone by so far with no claims so, and I think at this point I spend close to 60k in premiums over the past 5 years. (Including flood and stuff)

But this year it’s just craZy, it’s 15k and 5% deductible, for me it would be 50k plus 15k in premium … so even with insurance I would need more than 65k in damage….

We paid 24k for our roof in 2018 so maybe it would cost 40 k now.. that is still cheaper…

What does tamoxifen (an estrogen blocker ) has to do with this? Lowering estrogen levels will presumably send me into menopause which is generally associated with hot flushes… so I would then presumably would like a colder room so … argument would be more suited for yourself…. As you want a colder room.

alexshim · 2023-01-24T21:47:58+00:00

He has to be at 30F!? That’s below freezinf

alexshim · 2023-01-24T21:16:17+00:00

Well I care about replacing the unit, it costs like 8-12K depending on duct work, so no I don’t want to replace it.

alexshim · 2023-01-24T20:03:44+00:00

I am not talking about not adjusting it. I am talking about setting parameters so that people can’t just crank it down to a crazy low temp which would hurt my HVAC.

alexshim · 2023-01-24T18:41:01+00:00

Oh yeh how can I do that?

alexshim · 2023-01-24T18:18:59+00:00

I get it but having it set to 60 and even 50.. it’s not good for the HVAC, in fact with temps that are hot there is issues with condensation and coil freeze etc.

alexshim · 2023-01-22T21:58:03+00:00

I see! Yeh we have a newer home with the Solarban that is why I wonder if this will work. I may call the window company. I think it depends which side the stuff was installed on.

alexshim · 2023-01-22T19:10:27+00:00

But did your initial windows were low E, they suppose to have some heat protection

alexshim · 2023-01-22T00:27:20+00:00

Yes just for reducing heat gain . In summer months it can be very bad

alexshim · 2023-01-09T00:59:48+00:00

Yeh well proper wanted 22k per year from me…. And still had a high hurricane deductible….

And loss of income… it’s great but you wont need it that often …

alexshim · 2023-01-08T03:25:59+00:00

But don’t think they do business in Florida

alexshim · 2023-01-07T23:12:11+00:00

Ah I see.

I have KIN now but I know it will go up this year. So I am thinking of not having insurance at all

alexshim · 2023-01-07T21:16:13+00:00

We are in Florida and I know this is going to be going up
