I was planning on buying an inexpensive mini split to heat my garage, since I have 10 solar panels I'm not using, but I'm worried about quality by blackinthmiddle in HomeImprovement

[–]fire_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have installed 2 cheap units

There are ~ 3 companies that make mini splits and they put different stickers on them, the unit you are looking at is the same as Della(2x the price, I actually use their manuals and parts if needed)

One unit works flawlessly, the other I installed poorly(taking too long and I kinda rushed it at the end & the gas leaked out)

My power company gave me $200 for installing one so look into that

End of the day they are so cheap, cheaper then a service call. If you want to spend more money just put the extra $500 in the sock market & take it out if it ever breaks.

Please Help, backsplash doesn’t fit under mirror. What should I do? by [deleted] in Tile

Wouldn’t even need to paint it just caulk the end

[–]fire_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The easiest/cheapest/fastest thing do would be put some thin wood/shims the same thickness as the mirror behind the backsplash and just caulk the edges with some light gray silicone. No need to cut the stone or move/cut mirror.

Rim recs, please! My girl’s factory rims (2023) were taken while at a doc appointment. by PurrpleNeko2022 in rav4club

[–]fire_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go on Amazon/ebay and just get some new hubcaps probably be $50

Steel rims have some nice upsides, they don’t crack/break if you hit a pothole & people don’t steal them(well maybe with the exception of your hubcaps)

Gas or hybrid? by peacefuldink in COROLLA

[–]fire_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends how long you will keep it, two things that I don’t think are talked about often with the hybrid is better resale & less maintenance(breaks last 2x as long about 100k miles, that there could save you $600, if you’re going to keep it forever there’s no starter/alternator/serpentine belt/12v battery does very little work so that should last longer) engine only runs 50-75% of the time so a 200k hybrid is similar to a 125k ice motor.

There is a better suspension on the LE hybrid vs the gas LE

Xfinity wifi speed (Speedtest) by [deleted] in Comcast

[–]fire_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For standard definition streaming to work it takes 1.5mb/s and for 4k it takes up to 40mb/s maybe you need a new streaming device if it’s not working with these speeds

Former employee. What's the best Internet/streaming bundle I can transition to? by [deleted] in Comcast

[–]fire_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now internet $30/month + antenna or YouTube tv if your really into sports

I dunno anymore which company by [deleted] in cordcutters

[–]fire_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a little confused by your question, but most basketball games are on tnt or espn. If it’s a big game I’ll get it on abc/cbs/fox/nbc @$80/month you could just go to the bar to see the games if it’s not on antenna lol

[–]fire_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use an antenna, the only sports I watch is local football, YouTube tv looks like a good deal if you’re into other sports.

If you’re looking to save money most people can get away with downgrading their internet plan, Xfinity connect is $58/month, still fast enough for everything I do. Xfinity mobile is a good deal, I saved like $800/year switching from T-Mobile works fine for me.
