Issue has been addressed, it is zip tied in place. I verified that on mine which delivered last week.
is there something wrong with it, why isnt that up in the charts
Car oil changes are the one thing that has always puzzled me - most all motors/engine oil changes are specified after a certain number of hours of use, whereas cars are after 3k, 5k, 7,500 or 10,000 miles depending on the vehicle, use and oil used (synthetic v dino juice). For perspective, if your car had recommended oil changes every 3k miles and you drove at a constant 60 miles per hour without stopping, that would be an oil change after 50 hours.
Yeah, but didn't want to tie up the funds.
Unfortunately, looks like it's not refundable if you click on the refund policy.

No, efficiency is measured as "electrical watts going in" vs "watts of heat added to the room." Resistive heaters create heat from nothing, so 1 in=1 out=100% efficiency. Heat pumps separate ambient outdoor air into hot and cold, and bring the heat inside. Extracting heat is a lot more efficient than creating it, as long as there's ambient heat to begin with (tons at 60F, a lot less at 5F).
For comparison, space heaters are usually rated at about 5000btu on a 15A circuit, which is a ratio of about 3:1 (5000btu/1700 watts). In air conditioning measurements, that would be an EER of 3. That same circuit will handle a 12k btu heat pump, with an EER of around 7 - more than twice as efficient. Air conditioners and heat pumps work the exact same way, they just move the heat in opposite directions.

Is it an inverter generator?

But I don't want a big, thirsty, generator to keep feeding in the event of a long term power outage--whether powering by gasoline or propane. I probably should be investigating how to power a portable generator from our natural gas hookup, but I'm guessing there might be some red tape involved in doing that?
