If you heat lead paint over 1100 degrees with a heat gun, the vapors can cause your brain to swell.

But I don't think things will get too heated on a global level as lending is still tight, Europe is still in a financial quagmire and China may be slowing down too.

I was without heat.

New 3 ton heat pump for 2.5k installed. 

The winter is a particularly hard time for landlords in Lewiston, ME not only because of the cost of heat but also because tenants (including those with section-8) skip on paying their portions of the rents in order to be able afford presents during the holidays.

I had a mini heat attack and wondered how this person got this insane estimate.

A new 2 ton heat pump system costs about 1,300 and HVAC contractors tend to charge the most money.

Since there is one heater and one meter, the heat and electric will all be in my name as the land lord.

I would pull the hot water heat and put in 3 separate systems.
