    I ended up figuring out how to do mine myself with a Mr Cool kit when the furnace died due to the fact that every hvac guy believed a 4th gen heat pump would be useless in the northeast us. It gets down to about 0F here once or twice a winter and the heat pump starts struggling to keep up around those temps but it still does its job.

      Whoa, that’s f* cold, but with your feedback I’m quite positive all this doomsday feedback I got can be ignored. Problem here is I’ll be respnsible for uninterrupted heat and warm water for my tenants, too, so doing these calculations alone, for myself, would not bother me. But there’s a ton of responsibility to care for the tenants, and I’d like a professional up for the challenge.
