Default Still not leaking any R410a.. Yet..

It's been working okay without detectable leakage. Output air is 20F to 25F warmer than input air.
Set the power metering rate for 29 cents per KWh and it's showing $8 per month.
Even with all the damp weather we've been having. Winter will be here before we know it..

I've got a timer on the Oil boiler, so it runs three times a day for 30 min.
At 6AM, 12PM & 6PM. It typically runs about 15 min approx (1 quart of oil) on each cycle. 3/4 gallon per day.
About one tank, 275 gallons per year! That oil isn't very cheap! ($684)!

Maybe a solar boost is something think about.?.

Because the oil burner sucks in outdoor air, I've placed a timer on the Santa Fe, to insure it's off while the Oil Burner is running.
After a burn cycle is over, the Santa Fe does it's thing..
