  • 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.

  • 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.
