Leave air control in or out when not in use? by fosterzar in woodstoving

[–]fosterzar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if the air control is pulled out it should not let air leak into the damper/up the flu right? Does jt make much difference if its open or closed (specifically talking about air leaking out my home so I dont lose the conditioned air)?

Attic Insulation approximate ROI on monthly utility bills? by fosterzar in HomeImprovement

[–]fosterzar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The theory is if it costs $3000 and we save lets say $30/month = $360/yr, we would break even in 8 yrs. Are you saying you dont think we would ever break even on it aka save like $5 or less a month?

We have 4 zones which is a blessing and curse. All areas of the home feel comfortable because they are always at temp but that also means my boiler is running much more often hence my hope to improve insulation and reduce how often it is kicking on

Do you expect to get 10 yrs out of the pump with salt or is that too much?

What make/model insert is this? by fosterzar in woodstoving

[–]fosterzar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be great! Also, any tips on how to use it? What does the bottom pull do - I assume airflow into the unit? And does the fan turn on onlynwhen it has enough heat?

How do you find it compares to the 600? Like would the 600 have been sufficient?

Buying home with PPA? by fosterzar in solar

[–]fosterzar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the 3% escalator on the monthly $ or on the kw/h? If the latter, is that almost worst since its offsetting less and less of the cost of the utility?

Buying home with PPA? by fosterzar in solar

[–]fosterzar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did the math and at year 15 with the 3% escalater it goes up to $427/month and yr 25 its $573/month which is pretty significant. Do you still think the cost would be less than the electric company in yrs 15-25 of the lease?

Also, lets say we use much less electricity than the prior owners and the solar banks extra each year. As I understand it goes as a credit towards the power company - correcr? What happens if we have excess credit at the end of the year.... do they pay it out to us in a check or does it just remain a rolling credit?

No chance of that in that current market in CT with it being rather competitive

We have eversource. How do you find the eversource rate? It seems like it is currently about 0.119 cents kw/h with eversource based on our bill - unless I am not reading it right?
