Why does nobody talk about how long it takes to actually install a heat pump?
I spent three full weekends trying to get an air-source heat pump running at my place in Vermont. The online guides made it sound like a weekend project, but between figuring out the electrical panel limits and cutting through the old oil furnace pipes, it took me 18 hours total. Then the refrigerant lines needed a vacuum pump I had to borrow from a buddy in Burlington. Has anyone else dealt with the hidden steps that kill your timeline on these retrofits?

Spent my first weekend watching YouTube tutorials on loop instead of actually doing anything productive.
