  • I got our oil removed and heat pumps installed through masssave last fall.

    I ended up getting 5 quotes that varies from $20k-50k. Two of the installers wanted to do ducted systems and eventually we ended up around $30k with a good installer.

    We paid the 10k as a down payment in November. Got the 0% interest loan about $150/month. We just got the rebate check in the mail. And 150/mo plus the new electric rate is still cheaper than oil. Long term I’m hoping it will pay for itself.

    Meaningful to you. not to most folks.

    After all that you’re fine with “eh it’s just translation.” then why not try a system that has some meaning to it at all instead of arbitrary numbers. At least that’s what literally everyone else is saying to you in the comment section.

    And hey you can decide 20-25 is not T-shirt weather for yourself and 25-30 is. Crazy right?

    Yes I mistyped 80vs86. but that percentage of 100 is similar enough that I can’t really tell the difference.

    I was agreeing that 68 and 86 are both T-shirt weather. Still is to most folks. I get it you’re not most folks.

    I’m imagining your place as just filled with coats and thermometers that you care about this to such an extent.

    68-80 are similar temps. I’m comfy at both. I wear the same thing outdoors at both temps.

    I’m sorry you don’t I guess and are offended that someone else is different than you.

    20-30 is easier to understand than 68-80 for most people (obviously there’s an exception)

    68 is shorts and T-shirt weather in my part of the world. No one carries a jacket around if it’s that warm. Maybe it’s cold to you if you live between the tropics? I can’t speak to that

    20-30c is a cool shortcut that F doesn’t really have. The original comment is just a decent guideline and “I just don’t believe that you can’t understand” what a guideline is.

    But if you need all this stuff to exist outside in nice weather maybe a quick guideline is not for you…
