I wish I could say the same. 1890’s home with horse hair plaster walls and not fantastic insulation. Heat pumps are my end goal, but financing the install isn’t feasible just yet. Hopefully next year!

Lots of big companies let you pay an absurd per gallon price that subsidizes a yearly cleaning and emergency “insurance” for after hours no heat calls. Dead River and RH Foster used to be big on this.

Not to ask a personal question, but would you feel comfortable saying what your price was for install? Did you use one of the subsidies/repayment plans the state offers? Ideally heat pump is where I’m looking to go but I don’t have the liquid cash on hand to pay for an install and that likely not change until next heating season.

I guess I’m lucky. Heatable has been next day delivery in the Bangor area any time I’ve ordered. 1/4 tank at my current usage is still 1.5 to 2 weeks of usage if I keep the house cool so I’m trying to be strategic about ordering. If prices might decrease in the next week I can hold off but if it’s going to go up I’d rather order now. Just trying to get a feel for what others are seeing since I know I’m further north than most of the folks in the subreddit.

No. They are now a fashion item more based on the brand name and style. For actual cold weather/waterproof performance you can by better for much less on Amazon. I love LL Bean in general but the boots are not something I’m even remotely interested in.

More or less what I was thinking. Put in a minimum order for 100gal and we will see if i timed it well or not next week lol
