Oh that's cool! I assumed it was always a parking lot

maybe?

They quoted me 28k for 2 heads for a space about 600 sq ft. I thought it was a load of bullshit.

Considering the only real costly part of the install is getting the electric right I would look at doing a self install if you are handy. It's mostly boring a hole and hanging the unit then running the duct to the compressor. Hire an electricians to hook it up to your box and save yourself 38k.

I also was considering replacing a little boiler instead of the mini splits and they said that would cost about 18k. For reference they replaced a huge boiler in my house for 12k and told me that a unit half the size would cost 6k more. They also told me they couldn't install a high efficiency boiler in the space because it was right but another company said they would be able to fit it.

IMO they are taking advantage of expected inflation and seriously gouging.

The lowest I could get was 500 and the highest was 4k so I went with a middle of the road option. I also luckily have only needed my regular checkups with no emergency services or specialists in a long time so compared with OP I'm feeling pretty lucky

Boy howdy this makes me value my employer a whole hell of a lot more. I only pay $120 a month for my health insurance and get terrific coverage and almost no copay. My deductible is only 2k to boot.

I have voted dem in every election other than governors in the past. I just plain don't like dems platforms for state finances. I'll vote red every time for governor despite my blue leanings

edit: it's not only finances. I flat out dont like how dems support meaningless platforms just to get votes. I dont want my kids to grow up thinking this shit is normal.

Yes, brokers I have worked with have either had no fee or tenant pays the fee depending on the environment

Not to be a jerk but you should be on masssave.com and not reddit. They have a link specifically for finding out about income thresholds and can answer any other questions you have

Woof a haunted house or just walk down the street with them all. It's a mess on halloween though
