Sprinkler, for what? Native foilage doesn't need it.

If you own, install solar and an electric heat pump, and get rid of any gas utilities. The (second) best investment you can make.

If you rent, well, we are fucked, anywhere. They won't invest in properties, and it costs us more every year.

What is the sq footage and age of your house, and what part of the state are you in, if you don’t mind me asking? We are going to need to replace our gas furnace at some point in the near-ish future and I’m interested in switching to a heat pump. We have the ductwork in place since we have forced air heat, but don’t have central air, so a heat pump seems like a win-win.

I rent, but I grew up in a large house with a heat pump.

My in-laws are building up near Rochester and putting in geothermal, same idea, but better.
