Oh wow, our experience was nothing like that. We got a flat price that included the unit, labor, and the cost of the electrician.

We had two installed at separate times over the last 2 years. One is a mitsubishi cold weather and the other is a Haier (also for cold weather). I prefer the mitsubishi because it's a little quieter, but other than that they both are great. Vermont Energy did the mitsu and Catamount solar did the Haier. Both companies were easy to work with, great with communication and installed the units in 3-4 hours. I'd recommend either one to work with.

Thanks very much!

Hey there, they are outside the house and kind of an eyesore that you can see from the kitchen windows. This is basically the forever home unless we hit the lottery lol. We have a wood stove as a backup heat source in case of power outages, etc.

What is your point with this comment? I'm asking the community if anyone has had this done and what to watch out for. As you can see, there's a few different experiences and things to look into, which I appreciate. But thanks friend, since I'm obviously stupid I'll be sure to reach out if I need help dialing my provider!

Good to know, thank you. I will check that before we let the provider know to remove the tanks.

Thank you, I will look into it more.

Thanks! We have a woodstove in the basement for this purpose and heatpumps upstairs.
