A big downside to Rutland is that it is isolated, the closest interstate is an hour to the East that you must take 35-50 mph roads to get there through small towns. 45 minutes to the West is Lake George area which is a hot spot for shopping and outdoor fun things to do since a lot of NYC people visit the area.Crime isn't an issue where I am living but certain parts downtown does have more crime relative to the rest of Vermont.

In particular, remove all bushes around the outdoor HVAC condenser unit...they'll get overgrown, restrict airflow to the condenser, deposit debris into the condenser, and ultimately make it less efficient.2.

Haha, they have enough to keep a simple mind like mine entertained.

Ductless heat pumps can have up to 8 indoor units connected to 1 outdoor unit and are super efficient.

An outdoor area is also a big bonus.
