Thanks for all the info. I'm hoping they have quick install times now compared to when you did yours. We can't go another summer without AC and spending a fortune on oil is crazy. Hoping the solar setup with the heat pumps kills some of those bills.

Did you get electric heat strips with your blowers? Or are you just strictly using oil as a backup?

I think the largest Mitsubishi makes us 4 tons and that's not big enough for my house, unfortunately. I guess I could probably expect to pay 40k, then.

I'm glad to hear that your system works without oil. I'm keeping my oil boiler baseboard system as a backup, but definitely glad I won't have to use it.

Awesome. Thanks. I didn't try to get a carjon quote yet. I will give them a call. I need to condensers and 2 air handlers. One of the condensers will be a multi zone so it can handle the mini split wall unit in the basement. The condenser for the attic will be single zone. 30k is lower than the prices I've gotten from other companies, so crossing my fingers.

Both floors of my house are already ducted, so hopefully can save some money there.

I'm looking at the same exact setup. I'd be interested in hearing about your thoughts on quality and pricing. I've gotten a few quotes from several companies and the prices are astronomical.

Elorza....that is hilarious. Let's take the guy that single handedly destroyed Providence and put him in Congress....makes complete sense.

Same around 4pm too. Zero stress for my commute.

A sense of community you say? Lol. I tend to think quite the opposite. Most of Rhose Islanders are townies that were born and raised here with their clicks that tend to shun outsiders. I've lived in a few different states and I think Rhode Islanders are some of the rudest people out there.

Unfortunately

I often see trash blowing out of the back of trash trucks. If only the companies would be forced to pay for the inadvertent littering.

Your mom!

Jk, I couldn't resist.

And the ones on the sidewalks, parking lots, and driveways.

AC is not covered under the program, unless you're talking a combo heat pump system that does heating and cooling.

People keep commenting that the insulation is free. That is no longer the case. Please upvote this so the OP gets the current correct information.

Source: I just had the audit done in September of this year. The guy who came out said the zero cost insulation program ended last year.

The insulation is no longer free. It's 50% off.

Not sure why NK can't get a nice restaurant. Not fast food type.

So now we're number 1 with the shittiest roads and deleting Twitter. Things to be very proud of...

In RI, the DMV will suspend your registration for an expired inspection.

Piss poor management of our tax dollars for the last 30 years shouldn't be bailed out with a bond referendum.

Most people are having a tough time coming up with the money for their electric and food bills, yet they'll vote for millions upon millions in bonds...it blows my mind. Get the spending under control! Cut costs instead of just throwing money at a problem.

When it's time to renew your registration there is an insurance section to complete with the current (new) info.

They were busting my balls about major life event, so had to wait till open enrollment.

I don't know that, unfortunately. In my situation, I already had a BCBS plan and just added her to it.

I am telling you, I have BCBS and I was able to get my girlfriend onto my policy as a domestic partner.

BCBS advised me of certain criteria to qualify (i.e. length of time in relationship, living together, joint mortgage, joint bank account, etc...) I would check with your employer's HR or check with BCBS directly to make sure.

Yes
