Honestly having central AC had minimal impact on pricing I think. I remember looking at like 30-40 houses and maybe a handful had central AC. It is certainly a nice to have, especially with increasingly dewy summers, but around here it is almost a novelty, like having a pool. I would love central AC, but don't even remember it on our wish list when house shopping. Maybe I was in the wrong price range--sub $1 mill..lol. There are definitely is an uptick in the mini split route it seems around here. My guess is your average summer might is about 10F cooler at your elevation vs most of SNE. Here it’s pretty much required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that another name for heat pump or something entirely different. We put in a heat pump last November knowing 95% of its use would be for cooling, and it's done that very nicely. We got a big rebate plus a decent one-time federal tax credit that combined were more than 40% of our cash outlay. Electric bill went up some but not tragic given the increased comfort.

Here it’s pretty much required. Same here. The CT shoreline is now classified humid subtropical. I think parts of SE Mass are as well. I run my central air well into October. I have had endless 72+ dewy nights here this month and like 14 80+ days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s impossible to get it all What I've been doing is spraying the insides with bleach spray and then using a hose to clean out the insides. I've seen some YouTube videos on how to do thorough cleanings of A/C units but a lot of the current units being sold do not open as easily as the older units that used to be on the market. It sucks... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of CMP, can yo explain how question 1 is allowed to ask two entirely different questions? It's obvious hydro quebec wants to confuse the voter, but how is it legal to have two yes/no questions in the same ballot, but be unrelated to one another?
