I feel like an idiot and now I'm cold.

Our furnace broke yesterday and we got our first real snow last night. More cold fronts coming. We knew it was old, but never made plans to replace it, eating into financial preps were fortunate enough to have.

If you are not fully confident in your furnace, have it inspected or tuned up by a pro before winter is in full swing, I suspect a harsh cold one.

Edit: this was a chilly wake up call to routinely ensure all your appliances are in tip-top shape. Get your things inspected and repaired before they break, will save you time qne money in the long haul. Its nice to have a couple space heaters handy too!

Legal question regarding solar.

I’ve recently installed solar panels on my home and want to add a storage system in the near future. I know that there are permits and inspections required for the panels if my home is tied to the grid but are there any permits or permissions required to install a power storage unit?

Edit: my panels are grid tied at the moment but they’re running through a Sol-Arc 12k, which I’m pretty sure is a hybrid inverter.
