Heat pumps are a bad idea this far North. Even with a 20+ SEER, you're more than doubling it's work load. A/C runs about 800 hours in summer + 1,600 hours in heat pump, you're talking about 3x the use from the same machine.

In the summer time my pump has been as efficient as normal ac. My utility bills during the summer in this house (which is 2 x the size of my old house) are less than my old tiny house. It is winter that's the killer!

I tricked you then. You repped me a while back and I'm Irish!

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNN IT MAN !!

Morning CM, my "sleeping in" ended at 7am. Hate it when you have the chance to sleep in, but your internal alarm clock shoots you out of sleep.

My internal alarm clock is 2 kids.

Pfffffff shouldn't rep them Irish people any ways

I'm about 25% Irish, 50% German, 20% Shawnee, and a final 5% angry drunk.

Haha, I'm mostly irish on both sides of my family. A bit of English, Dutch, French and German sprinkled in.

I remember those wonderful days. That was 2 kids ago. I'll share a little known secret, I think "Sex" might be the leading factor into how those kids show up. Now, I'm not 100% convinced yet, it's just a working theory.

I'll have to have more sex to put your theory to the test!

lol, to be honest, those are just guesses. I know there's a lot of German on my father's side, a little on my mom's, a lot of Irish on my mom's, and Shawnee on my dads.

A lot of my family has done genealogy. I did a bunch myself. I don't know exact percentages but I found most of my ancestors came over from Ireland.

Once I worked up the courage I found a lot about my family.

Most of mine at least on my fathers paternal and maternal sides came from Ireland. One side came before the revolution and the other before the civil war. The last of my ancestors were here by 1840.
One came on the mayflower.
on my mothers side in still doing research. I haven't got much past 1800. They owned slaves and fought for the south and they are all still proud Southerners. Good people. Good Americans

I found out my grandfather had a sister that died as an infant. The official ruling was death by strangulation. I'm not sure if it was an accident or murder. Kind of weird to find stuff like that.

Heat pumps are always more efficient at cooling, it's just the nature of the beast. You're actually just moving heat. Heat is energy, and energy can neither be created or destroyed, you are simply transferring it. In the winter, there is less heat to absorb from the outside, so less it can bring in.

My mothers side has Indian. (Native American not the dot indian)

It was called that - or crib death ,I believe - could be wrong

 

[churchmouse]

My family on both sides came here under servitude. Kids sold off in England and worked to death here. Some survived. I am grateful....

When idiots start arguing slavery I have skin in that game. ****-em
