Yea i started planning one out this spring and opted for DIY. its still expensive as fuck and i hate myself for taking on the project. But i also cant afford to heat my house with kerosene anymore so something had to break. it was my back and my bank they broke.
The furnaces are awesome, I’m keeping mine for a back up unit. In the more brutal storms and dark winters the solar and the heat pumps start struggling. I imagine i’ll still get some use out of the Old Beast.
