HELL YEAH, BROTHER!!!
We're fortunate our utility (Puget Sound Energy) will give us rebates for DIY improvements as well.
We installed a heat pump and got money back from the state and the feds.
It definitely makes sense to evaluate electricity costs. It's unfortunately expensive to get a heat pump in some places.
Where we live, the Seattle metro area, it was a huge cost savings to get our heat pump.
Crunch the numbers and make sure it makes financial sense.
We love our heat pump!
We did a DIY install a few years ago. Cost about $4500 in total for a Bosch 18k BTU unit and everything needed to install it.
We got $900 back from the state (WA USA) and $2000 back from the feds. That brought our total out of pocket down to $1600.
We had electric resistive heat and no AC previously. Our heating bill went down by $50/month in the winter. It added maybe $10/month in the summer for air conditioning.
For our area, with mild winters and low electricity costs, it's fucking amazing.
Same, I'd just use it to kill myself.
I'm OK BTW, but do have depression. I don't think it's worth the risk.
As an American, the public health care system
7.6% of all sales is a higher percentage than I would have guessed.
I love to ride and rebuild motorcycles. It's so satisfying getting a crusty old bike and making it a reliable machine again.
It does influence how I think of myself. I'm proud of being able to disassemble and reassemble an entire motorcycle.
It's an amazing feeling going down the highway on two wheels, knowing that the machine underneath me used to be a pile of parts in boxes.
For real. Companies know if their roles hold prestige and lower pay accordingly.
Would I be able to post my nudes there?
