See, this is the issue. Are you going to stay for 10+ years? Worth it. 5? Eh...
All kinds of projects are no longer happening around here as I see

Yeah well I can only do what I can do. In my old home, I did a 2-3 month rehab of the attic which I ultimately added blown cellulose on top of the batting that existed, including spray foam and all...

Top of the rafters is normal insulation. Efficiency is great, but eventually it's a waste of money. The value probably depends on where you live. To get great gains, we'd have to block off inside...

The insulation only goes to the top of the rafters. Looks like the current R value is in the 30's. I'll add batting (another 30 or so). I've already gone through and sealed can lights and such...

If you already have blown in, I doubt you will get much with added batting. The difference in price is pretty between the two quotes is small, so I would just get the system you prefer. There are...

I don't quite understand your question. There are 2 options:
- minisplit in each room - so a larger indoor unit, and a compressor outside.

I like that central air circulates air throughout the home. Worth considering.
If you want to save money, consider installing an attic fan and attic insulation first, and maybe a whole house fan....

Does the other part have AC if not then it might make sense to put in 2 minisplits we used the Mitsubishi ceiling mounted cassette and you do not see anything

Yeah that's not me. That's why I asked about income limits on the fed rebates in particular.
We have a different minisplit system on the "new" side of the house. Previous owners installed...

Long story short, half of my house doesn't have AC and that includes 4 of the bedrooms. I'm considering installing a ductless solution but it's pricey - about $22k for an LG system (also functions...
