I dented my rear fender just by leaning into it!

 

Holy shit, it's supposed to snow on Friday night!

 

Yeah they use terribly thin Sheetmetal nowadays

 

Yeah I just got done swearing at the weather guy on tv a little while ago, lol.

 

But Toyota did something right; Look what it did to Sir Drinks-A-Lot's Mercedes while only sustaining $2,200 in damage!

 

Because of the snow? You do live in Snowhio, after all...

 

Yeah I despise snow and cold, its been like February around here lately.

 

Ironically we didn't have much of a winter this year! I didn't use the snow chains once!

 

Right, thankfully wasn't too hateful, I paid of my propane budget last month.

 

I still say you should do a heat pump/propane combo; You'll save money on both your electric bill and your propane bill by not running the propane furnace when it's above freezing!

 

I am expecting my electric bill to drop when I replace the ancient water heater too.

 

Is it electric or propane? I'm telling you, install a heat pump! If the furnace breaks down you'll have a backup source of heat!

 

It is electric, hopefully going to pick up a new one tomorrow.

 

Being old has a bit to do with it, but hold out a bit longer and switch to propane!

 

Nah, want to stick with an electric water heater, wanting to have all of my supplies before I tear the hallway up. As soon as its going to stay warm I will have the furnace guy come out and remove the old one so I can fix that area.

 

Will you please consider going with a heat pump/propane furnace setup?

 

It sounds more complicated, expensive, and less long term reliable but I will talk to the furnace guy when I have him hear removing the old system.

 

The only real difference is that the heat pump has a reversing valve that allows for, as the name implies, reversal of refrigerant flow...

It will not cost you much more than the straight-cool A/C, but with propane instead of natural gas you will save money; If your house had natural gas I'd say go with the conventional system...

 

Not many places around here have natural gas, my electric and propane bills are pretty reasonable now and do expect them to go down a bit with new stuff.

 

I think my dad's friend's old house in Cincinnati had electric heat (heat pump)...
