The MS did well last night even a 32 they are putting out good heat. It is going to take some time to see where solar production meets up with the new MS usage. We are ahead -550 kwh right now so that should help run them.
I will have to start watching my natural gas usage now. I hope to reduce that a lot this winter. I downloaded the last 18 months gas usage yesterday.

My new tankless hot water heater does not have a pilot and has energy factor 0.95. But it will be a few weeks before I will get time to install it. The old one is about .80 energy factor with a pilot. The new one will have some savings but I doubt it will be a very big savings.

I know we won’t be able to completely netzero but this all should put us closer.

Now that I have the units installed I wanted again to thank everyone here that posted about their mini split installs. I wanted to thank the people that posted and helped me out. without the kind helpful people here I would never been able to install these units myself.
