all stupid rich people comments aside - we ABSOLUTELY will invoke emergency cereal dinners when we just don't feel like making anything, and the kids fucking love it.

They almost have to be confused and talking about starfield, since until this news, all "mods coming" had indeed been about starfield.

I'm pretty sure this was the premise of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt".. right?

hmm.... maybe i should see just how much money switching to heat pumps is. it'll 10-15 years before they'd need replaced naturally

actually, I did the math!

  • gas only (96% eff), plus SEER 13 A/C - annual heating/cooling $2000
  • gas + heat pump (w/ SEER 17ish) - annual heating/cooling about $2800 / yr
  • gas only again, but with solar that "matches" annual electric on cooling only - $700/yr
  • gas/heatpump/solar "do all the things" around $800/yr

SO

  • if my goal is to spend the least amount of money over < 15 years - do nothing
  • if my goal is to spend the least amoutn of money over > 15 years - just add solar
  • if my goal is to minimize my carbon footprint at all costs - do all the things

the "matches cooling electric" comments means that I sized the panels such that the excess generated in the summer, balances out the deficit in the winter, for solar generation of household electricity. During the winter, there's no heating/cooling electric in the 'gas only' mode

I should mention that, while not major consumers, i AM opting for electric induction range and electric dryer, even though the builder acted like I was weird. most midwest states, outside Chicago city & maybe Minnesota or Iowa, aren't all that progressive on this stuff

I'm building a new house soon, and looked heavily into this. Live in USDA zone 5 Midwest.

First, like many have mention, I MUST keep gas furnace to handle the few weeks of -10F we have.

SECOND - the cost of gas is SO CHEAP, and electricity SO HIGH - that it ALWAYS costs more to run the heat pump. Even adjusting the heat pump range.

I couldn't justify spending $10k more on the house, just to spend more on monthly bills.

My gas is like $7/mmbtu, and electricity $0.20/kwh.
