Signed up for a heat pump

My neighbor in the mirror-image unit at the other end of the building has had a heat pump for a few years, and is happy with it. I've been here almost two years, and it seems like I'll be staying for a while. Granted the last couple of winters have been cooler than usual here, but I'm still not eager to tackle another winter with just a gas fireplace for heat.

( What I learned about heat pumps and rebates )

There are possibly better rebates coming from the IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) around the end of the year, but I decided that the current deal is good enough for me. The future looks really uncertain these days! So I signed the contract today. I don't know when it will be installed, since he has to order the units and apply for permits. Oh, and the permits are an additional $700-900! Everything is more expensive in California.
