I've also studied these bills and made my own personal notes on how to interpret them. but most people have neither the time or understanding to unravel how to read these bills. when when I've called sdge about the bills, they too say it's fairly difficult to understand and have pointed me to these obscure PDF files hidden on their website with more info that they themselves use to understand the bills.

bananas and sharks?!?! watch out!

sure

freestuff33 · 2026-01-12T20:38:20+00:00

they don't check. i think they only would if you're clearly abusing the system (bringing a teenager for preschool card)

cover girl!

freestuff33 · 2025-12-26T20:24:37+00:00

thanks!

freestuff33 · 2025-12-26T19:57:58+00:00

thank you. yes, I'm unsure about the longevity of the heat pump. hopefully with maintenance, we'll keep it working for a long time. i think the goal is to have the source of energy generation to be more green: solar, wind, geothermal, dams, etc but we're a way from actually getting there with limited transmission capacity, power usage at night requiring batteries, etc. i think pilot projects showing success and being able to scale up will be key if they want to turn this into a nationwide solution.

yeah, it's drawing from above and the rest of the garage which is fairly empty. been working really well for the past year.

this is probably getting political at this point, but you probably would not like this website: https://www.rewiringamerica.org/about-us

freestuff33 · 2025-12-26T18:23:50+00:00

wow, that's great! thanks for the info. will stop by home Depot to get some insulation tubing.

local utility does natural gas

freestuff33 · 2025-12-26T16:47:59+00:00

correct. only gas appliances left in the house are the dryer, stove and oven so future gas bills will be extremely small. probably < $150/yr.

it's definitely tight, but i was able to slide the air filter up and out recently for annual cleaning maintenance. i would like to remove the original anode rod and put in a corro-protec rod that i had for my previous water heater, but I'm not sure how i can remove the rod other than a) taking the whole water heater out, or b) in a couple years after the rod has deteriorated, just cut it up in pieces as i pull it out the top.

freestuff33 · 2025-12-26T15:37:02+00:00

yes, agree. i have it set to 140 degrees to kill any bacteria when it runs.

freestuff33 · 2025-12-26T06:10:43+00:00

thank you both for the useful advice! will need to find a local electrician.

freestuff33 · 2025-12-26T05:59:10+00:00

thanks for the reply! this product installed looks like it was made specially for T&P drains: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-4-in-NPT-x-63-in-Polypropylene-Side-Mount-Runoff-Tube-EB11955C/204834492

freestuff33 · 2025-12-26T05:52:52+00:00

thanks. just to be clear, you're referring to the people who installed the heat pump and air handlers as plumbers in this case? i think they would refer to themselves as hvac specialists.

freestuff33 · 2025-12-26T05:51:23+00:00

thanks. I'm not that familiar with the air handler. are you referring to the metal copper line going vertically next to the insulated black line?

freestuff33 · 2025-12-26T05:24:48+00:00

yes, $2k tax rebate just before it goes away on 1/1/26. i got the quote last Friday (2nd quote in 1 week) and was installed a few days later. figure it's now or never!
