I will say the new heat pump works great here for very efficient heating on electric now. And locked in $2.50/gallon propane for the winter (last winter I paid $4).

Going to be a much cheaper winter at least monthly bills, but also factor in the thousands for the A/C, Heat mini split, haha.

We've been using out new heat pump too, just enough to take the chill out and not touching the oil at all.

Fisher cat from my camera trap last night.

Wonderful catch!  Looks like a big male - they weigh 2-3 times more than females.  (Just a guess, as I don't have any visual scale though the later coyote pic would confirm the guess if the distances from camera were anywhere near similar.)

I may look into those as well. Mini splits right? I just don't want pipes running up and down the sides of my house.

Mine have a pretty short exterior run. Most of it is in the attic or basement. All depends where you put the condenser outside

Yeah one of our lines goes into the basement to get across and the other is one single vertical outside on the side wall above the condenser.  They’ve got it down now that you don’t have tubes wrapping around 3 sides of your home.
