And of course, my county is trying to ban it outright because ‘we must preserve our rural character’.
Indiana is not very eager either.
I asked about installing heat pumps and got essentially a "now why would anyone go and do that".
Obviously depends on local contractors and I'm sure they exist.
A lot of tradespeople are idiots and have knowledge that is decades out of date (or learned from people whose knowledge is also out of date).
