Re: Best dumb thermostat?

I just had a Honeywell installed in the upstairs zone, Honeywell Pro Series. It was inexpensive and it should be, it is not very good. The temperature reading skips numbers, and it makes a really loud click when it fires up. The other Honeywell in the house is great. What do you mean by the temperature reading skipping numbers? It'll change from 72 to 74 without going through 73? The click is a design feature. Honeywell FocusPRO thermostats use a relay to switch the HVAC system on and off. This is simpler and more reliable than the MOSFET transistor that Nest uses. A relay just makes a metal-on-metal contact to complete the circuit. There are reports from electrical engineers who have disassembled failed Nests and found failed MOSFETs. The...

Re: Which Boston suburb to settle?

By the way, the storm that was supposed to be our most snow in 2 years has moved to a more southern and off shore direction, and is expected to “blanket” us with 1-3” rather than the 12” the newscasters were breathlessly predicting. I think the weather reports have become a conspiratorial alliance between broadcast TV, the schools who preannounced remote learning, and the grocery stores which were packed yesterday. It’s too bad for me, who wanted to introduce our new 6 month old rescue dog to serious snow. I guess she’ll have to wait until next year. OP, we moved to a rural area near Boston in 2018 from NJ. We wish we had done it much sooner. Definitely the most snow in a long time on the CT shoreline. The dog does love it, me not so much....

Low tax states certainly can have low levels of service. But look at California, New Jersey, and New York. Some of the highest taxes and some of the worst quality services.

I bought my retirement home in a tourist destination a few years before I retired and rented it out. Financially it worked out well. I would suggest that you consider if you really want to live full time in a high turnover rental area though. It can wear on you after a while.

The way I understand the plans, but it may vary from oil company to oil company, you locked in a price for the season. How oil prices fluctuate has no bearing on what you pay. Locking in can be great if prices go up but can be bad if prices drop. We have been in a declining crude price environment for weeks and from what I gather on the financial networks, prices seem to be in this upper 60 to lower 70 dollar range and are not expected to go back into the 80-90+ range. If OPEC decided to cut and shrink oil output I'm not sure it would matter for a while because there is a glut of oil and with Iran selling oil I doubt that inventories will drop anytime soon. I filled my tank at what was the low for $3.37 9/10 about 5 weeks ago and prices ro...

Re: Heating oil; fix or cap?

Floating right now is about $3.65 at the cheapest (from small local companies), the big companies with service plans are around $3.80 if a pre-buy (I would buy my approx. annual usage of 1,000 gallons, or maybe half that, not sure), $3.80 capped (plus .25/gallon) or $4.30 floating (yikes!). Hi all. Follow-question to my original post. I ended up going with the capped plan at $3.80 as it wasn't terribly above the cheapest in my area (from https://www.cashheatingoil.com/), and was well below their own floating price of $4.30. Soon after (mid-September), I received a fill up at $3.80. However, fast forward to today, where https://www.cashheatingoil.com/ is as low as $3.09 (i.e. .56 lower than it was in September) but I'm still being charged $...
