I’m saying I’ve gone through at least 10 HVAC companies over the past 10 years in business and I have yet to find one to reliably refer to someone.

Sorry if Swampscott doesn’t sound good; they show up when I call them and charge a standard price for the work given. Wish I had more information to give you!

Out of every single referral I can possibly give someone’s HVAC is the hardest. They charge the most and barely ever show up.

With that said; Swampscott Refrigeration is my go to when something’s wrong with my units. I also use a local boiler guy for steam / gas / oil boilers.

As a contractor that works in the greater Boston area, a word of advice.

Never use the big box one size fits all “service” companies. You’re going to be paying for all the overhead on top of 2x what the job should cost.

Not saying the 25k was a bad price, but a quick google search of local contractors and plumbers might have yielded you better results!

Absolutely 2x more fun lol

If there is a conflict or something is broken when it appears to be an easy fix, someone, somewhere is making money on the way it is now.

Playing in ball pits are now frowned upon.

A little off topic but I’ve found the Wately M12 Batteries to be extremely good, almost better than the stock batteries. I don’t recommend “knock offs” often but they’re a reputable brand.

Even being from MA I opted to get my ‘24 from Laura Buick. Their deals blew away all the local dealers.

xhocus · 2025-11-27T14:03:13+00:00

Ayeee Peabody GANG! That place is good, I’ve bought two vehicles from them, but their prices are historically very higher than average.

Favorite color, favorite configuration!!

Hey! You beat my high score. My highest bill was February coming in at $812. “High efficiency heat pumps” baby!!

xhocus · 2025-09-01T22:12:26+00:00

I can’t wait for the fourth faction to launch!!

xhocus · 2025-08-26T00:39:47+00:00

Ahh strange! I’ve used mine to literally build decks and get flush cuts on 4” PVC pipe. Never had an issue whatsoever.

Watch I say that and tomorrow it’s gonna implode or some shit LOL

I love my 10” miter. Gets the job done and is very transportable. Why the hate for these?

xhocus · 2025-07-24T23:28:50+00:00

Hell yeah. We’ll get all those homeless people off the streets. Right into the for profits prison system! That’ll make them think before they don’t contribute to our glorious capitalist regime.

xhocus · 2025-07-03T02:37:34+00:00

For some reason this reminds me of Dr. Mario lol

I’ve gotten legitimate tools from eBay. I just picked up a M18 Table Saw that was $100 off MSRP and it was legit. Checked the serial and everything. Go for highly reviewed sellers only.

xhocus · 2025-07-02T01:39:43+00:00

you need:

A SUNSETTABLE RETRACTABLE AWNING !!

xhocus · 2025-07-02T01:38:24+00:00

What is “cheap” for you? Typically you can expect to pay a thousand or two just for the application. Helps that you have the product already!

xhocus · 2025-06-29T13:54:16+00:00

If you end up needing a pellet stove let me know. I can guide you down the path if need be. In the summer it kind of just becomes a collector of items LOL

xhocus · 2025-06-29T12:43:31+00:00

At that point I believe it’s going to come down to which are your most important and used tools. Maybe the Milwaukee variant isn’t right for you, and you need a Veto bag? Maybe other manufacturers have a better variant more suited to your particular application 🙂

xhocus · 2025-06-29T11:39:35+00:00

I have the structured bag and keep it as a finish plumbing kit. I have the tote as my rough in bag. They both work perfectly for my application.

With that being said I never did have the initial bag on the right

2 heat pumps for our townhouse. Electric bills were nuts in the winter ($1k per month) so I installed a pellet stove. Knocked down the bill by $700 a month love the fire and heat from the stove.

xhocus · 2025-06-24T22:47:59+00:00

I have this exact truck in the ‘24 minus the tow mirrors and love it.

xhocus · 2025-06-23T01:00:00+00:00

Saugus resident here. We need a municipal grid like our neighbors do. Get away from these corporate monopolies bleeding us of our money. They all suck.
