Zaza in Stamford or Amici's in Shelton for a restaurant.

A&S in Fairfield or Gaetanos in Stratford for a deli.

Lots of good info here thanks for the answer; few follow up questions if you'll indulge me.

> The utilities actually have a free heat pump consultation service as well, it's informative and easy

I did not know this, so UI will come out and give you a consultation to tell you if its worth while/what it should roughly cost and the roi for doing so?

> Something to consider is that as of Jan01, you can get a 30% tax credit on heat pumps and there are other state rebates for them

I did know this was a part of the inflation reduction act, hence why I was eyeing it for the near future when our central AC unit dies.

> Final consideration: life cycle analysis is showing due to electric rates in CT in particular, it's not yet cost effective to buy one without also getting solar. This doesn't mean it will always cost more than oil, especially with volatile oil prices, but if nothing Changes right now your energy cost may go up just a little. Not definitely, but possibly.

This is interesting and not something I was aware of, I thought it would be more of a net gain over oil regardless. I have been thinking about solar too but I'm on the fence there as well.

Finally, do heat pumps work as well as a central AC unit in cooling a home? My fear is that heat pumps may be more energy efficient but your house won't feel as cool/warm as it would with central ac and oil.

Because he's tall? At least that's all I'm able to glean from his cringy ad.
