We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
I just realized I skipped (or rather skimmed over) a few posts... reading is phundamental amirite?!
anyways... how long have you had it and are you happy with it? if I'm not mistaken you're in a area that gets occasional power outages. Has that been a problem at all?
Power outage is still an issue whether you've got a heat pump or fuel furnace. Granted the heat pump uses more juice so you'd need a bigger backup generator if that's your thought.
I've been living with heat pumps the last 4 years, 100% AC coverage and 50% of our heating. No complaints or issues. We'd probably be 100% heat pump but that wasn't an reality for several reasons.

Didn’t have that on my bingo card tonight. I imagine that, if he’s getting this same storm up north, Woo is having a snow induced meltdown today.
Dog 1 is deathly afraid of rain and has peed inside twice today, Dog 2 gives not a single fuck and was outside in a downpour norfling flowers. The house smells fantastic at the moment

We had a week this winter where it got sub 20F every night. For us that is very atypically cold. Our wood stove, which is our only source of heat*, was able to keep up, but it was a lot of work. Definitely looking at a mini-split install this summer.
