Doing the Splits

Two Mitsubishi mini-splits, one ductless heat pump & plenty of exterior piping to cover hosing were installed by All Fuel this July 5th, 2022.  It was a full 12 hour job from start to finish. One larger mini-split now resides in the living room, a smaller one in the back bedroom.  Mini-splits not only filter air, they help keep the inside of a space consistently warm OR cool at a much more affordable cost than furnaces or baseboards (which 3430 has in all rooms).  They are extremely quiet, easy to maintain (🤞) & environmentally friendly because they use less energy/electricity + non-ozone depleting coolant.  It's advised not to turn them off so they run at a maintained temperature.  Since the exterior walls of 3430 were finally insulated in 2020 (the roof & crawlspace [w/vapor barrier] were insulated a few years before), it really holds in the heat (great when it's cold, awful when it's hot) which makes it hard to do much of anything during high heat days except take a cold shower, lie down & complain.  Jeffrey Jones did the electrical work, including removing the old landline telephone box & cables from the exterior of the house & installing two new outlets in non-functional/loose ones.  A $500 rebate was received from Energy Trust of Oregon around August 10th. TOTAL COST: $11,421
