I've seen several massage therapists there, but she's the only one who really understood the problem, the cause, and my goals for today.

2. Heat pump
Original title in English:Heat Pumps
Post content summary:Hi, wondering if anyone uses a standalone heat pump and how it handles Barrie winters? I'm choosing between a standalone heat pump, a dual fuel system with gas furnace/heat pump, or a heat pump with electric backup heat strips, but the heat strip option seems cumbersome. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks.

EN: Just a reminder that we have a Monthly Community Thread where we relax the rules about advertising and off-topic posts. * Stuff that isn't directly related to Barrie, like national news or general chit-chat * Questions a - In general, the BTU required for winter heating is greater than for summer cooling, so whatever you get will likely provide more cooling than you currently have. Depends on many factors like size/area, insulation, ductwork, etc. You may need to supplement the heat pump on cold winter days. Compared to natural gas, using a heat pump for heating will save some money. But of course, the more heat you get from natural gas, the less savings. If there are any regrets, it's usually related to the equipment being too small
EN: Generally speaking, the BTU of heating required in the winter is greater than the BTU of cooling required in the summer so whatever you get will likely be able to provide more cooling than you currently have now. Dependi - If I get some information, I can give you more accurate advice, but in general, a dual fuel system is by far the best option. Feel free to message me if you want more specific details. I wouldn't do electric backup unless natural gas or propane isn't an option, but I assume it is. They are very expensive in the coldest months.

Original English title:Garbage / Recycling Pickup
Post content summary:Does anyone else find the garbage/recycling pickup times vary a lot, which is very frustrating? I've lived in many cities. Never like this. Sometimes, it's always picked up at 7 AM, so you know to put it out the night before, or get up quickly. But in Barrie, sometimes they come at 6 AM, sometimes at 7 PM. Can someone explain this to me? Do they take a consistent route every time, making the pickup time at least somewhat
