Price sounds pretty good. I can't think why anyone would not take grid power if it's reasonable available. Solar has it's place. Cheers.

I don’t know if some people think you’re supposed to live in a cave to make them happy. I’m 58 and learned that there are people who love misery and always want to share it. We happy people know you guys ROCK !!

thank you for what you did for Tony and Joanie! great folks! I subscribe to over a hundred vlogs but when a call for help comes in I am all over it! Love you guys!

Jumping over to Creekside Maples to share the love. Love what you guys are doing on your farm and excited to see what your relatives have up their sleeves. All the best to you from down here in Yankee Land.

Merry Christmas Guys. I am Homesteading in maine and i set up on Grid,I'm with you guys when I want power it's there.

You guys rock. Thanks for being open about the costs. I helps us a lot with our planning.

That last comment was precious. “Go ahead and ask” Good info. Thank you for sharing.

Love watching you guys. Merry Christmas and all the best in 2021. Stay safe.

You guys rock!!! B proud of what you've done ... Those that are critcizing have no clue what it truly takes n the sacrifices y'all have made to get where you are. I think after living there for 3 years and seeing where you started to where you are now you know exactly what's best for you and your family. Y'all have a very Merry Christmas and God bless you!! Now I'm gonna go check out the other channel 😊😊😊

Subscribed to Creekside.....nice folks. Thanks for the referral! And congrats for your power hookup....wise move for your safety and comfort.

I'm glad for u guys not having to ruff it . Cheers to having some regular conveniences 🎄👍

7000 Canadian is roughly 5500 American, that is a great deal! I was quoted approximately 40,000 American to run lines to my place, for what I use it just did not pan out to spend that much. I can get a 4.5 kw system, batteries and all for 6500 so that is the route I am going. I am 100% sure that if I still had kids in the house I would look at that again. This was a great video guys!

Merry Xmas!

I totally agree with what you kids are doing. Having the solar equipment that you all have is a great back up. Life is Good.

Moving to New Brunswick from Ontario never heated with wood before but love it. One thing I would add would be a transfer switch but you probably already have it. 🎄☃️🥰

I agree with your decision 100%. We have pole power to our farm. I would never plan on solar (in Texas) to power my home.

Induction hot plate is good backup. When you can’t run to Costco for propane

thanks for the info.....let the busy bodies talk to themselves......do it your way......also will check creekside, thanks for the tip

Good to flip a switch and you get lights. Turn a knob and your oven can bake a pie electricity is an awesome add on.

Just checked out Creekside Maples and subscribed. They seem to be very down to earth nice people. Empty nesters like my wife and I. Just yesterday I caught myself missing having my 4 kids in the house with us 24/7. Took me about 30 seconds to start thinking about something else.

I’m actually quite shocked that some people actually spend their time and effort to put down your channel or any channel. If they don’t wanna watch anymore they can just unsubscribe and that’s it. It’s like they’re trying to convince other people to do the same. Good on you guys for keeping ur cool. I wonder if I can keep my cool if I get some mcnasties commenting on my channel. A while back, a guy left a comment saying he liked my video but once he saw I was Canadian he was out... I told him to get off his pedestal and take a hike hoser. I like what u guys are doing. I keep chickens and ducks cause I want too not cause it’s cheaper. I can’t wait to grow my farm stay even more so I can offer experiences too.

I used to have a dusk to dawn light for years and I loved it. We are in town now so we have a lot of light around. Love your channel. I’ve been a subscriber for quite a while back to when Jeremy was still peeing in the yard. ☮️❤️☕️-Kirsten

67.7 thousand subscribers outstanding glad yaw going to have power love yaw and Sam too

As one who has a large solar set up....i can tell you that your logic is 100% accurate. The larger solar systems are tricky. Fairly reliable but.... For example, My 100 amp Charge Controller just crapped the bed so....there's that. Y'all will enjoy the power!! Good for you guys!!

Back when I did the same math you guys just went through, it worked out that running a gas generator ended up being somewhere in the neighbourhood of 70 cents per kWH. I have zero regrets having gone on grid.

Guys iv been watching more videos about homesteading than I used to lately,I was on my wife's yt channel and seen your 1mill views video and watched,I'm sure the thumbnails draw alot of fellas to watching them lol i subscribed and will eventually check out some past videos,hard work pays off I can see you guys understand that,god bless you guys in jesus mighty name

In WA state my mini-split was $2500 US..perfect for use with a woodstove..I would need two of them or a really large one to use as a sole source of heat...1700 square ft Double wide. I'm know your home is much better insulated also. Plus they are super efficient compared to any other style of heat or ac source I've ever used.

Love you guys! 🇬🇧

I live in Tx on grid our electricity runs around 200 dollars a month US ,but our main heat is a wood stove. Love y'alls channel. Do y'all and what makes y'all happy.

it is great to have backup, well done Jeremy and Ashleigh nothing wrong with modern home steading !

sweet, more power to ya Power to the people

I am happy for you three. Anything you can do to help make life easier go for it.

May want to consider setting your heat pump at 55* F (13* C) to keep mold or mildew from forming.

I think you guys made a good decision about your power. We did the same thing. Great video. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️

I have a modern homestead and didn’t even know it! Total solar, wood heat, venison in the freezer. It cost us less than 10 dollars a month to use the grid for a backup and we get a check every year foe the extra electricity we make.

I have had a grid tie solar for about 8 years now. I have all electric including heat and have a 0 bill about 9 months a year. The solar you have for backup is great, and you might look into net metering and a hybrid inverter in the future. Grid tie is great as I can use as much power as I need, send the extra back into the grid system when I make more than I use in the summer, and the system has paid for itself about now and should last many more years. Grid tie does go down when the grid goes down so I still have a generator for backup so that is a drawback of pure grid tie.

If you're on the grid, hook up a few panels with grid tie inverters. No batteries no solar controllers. Panels produce power and it send power to grid to offset your bill.

Cool now you have all the bases covered. Smart to get hooked to the grid now while you can afford to do so. This will give you choices down the road depending on circumstances and your needs. It will also give you security to have back up heat and boy are you going to enjoy the more centralized ac in the summer. Hey my original MBF shirt is going to be a collector item. 😉👍🏼

@@MBFModernHomesteading love mine it is very comfy. No need to explain,you have the funds to get the power now,you would be foolish not to. First of all it is your place,second I think people are forgetting that you did what you could afford at the time. That you were a newly retired veteran and that you were medically retired (almost died) You were most likely very overwhelmed with all of that and not wanting to get into debt. I think it is great that you will have the power to do what you need. The power to maybe make things a bit easier for you and for Ashley. On top of that you will have your solar as back up. If you so choose you can over time modify it. Or if you ever get your little hunt cabins you can move the solar to the back 40. You have way more options now. This is just really such a dumb think for people to get angry or nasty about. Anyway that is my 10 cents (inflation)worth. 🤷‍♀️

You guys doing a great job

When you get your elec bill, be sure to put it in comparison to cost of gasoline, running out to buy gas, cut logs, chop firewood, all that stuff, versus having electric, and having nothing to do.....

Ashley you and Josh have a merry Christmas. I had a question were is the daughter hiding. Haven't seen her in the episodes anymore. Glad you both have a plan for the necessity of life without going broke. Be careful and stay safe.

Just a thought with a strong suggestion, you might want to construct a birdhouse roof with lattice walls over/around your condenser to keep the snow from packing around it.

Happy for you !

Imagine that "LIVING" costs money! 🤣 If it was FREE everyone would live FOREVER! 🤣

Ashley I love ur earrings, so cute, 💚🧡💙❤️💛💜💝. 🎄🌟🎄🌟🎄🌟🎄🌟🎄🌟🎄. Might want to put a little stove for the garage, so u can work in the winter

i did a little math, Champion 5Kw generator uses 5.7 gallons per 9 hours. Gasoline prices in Canada are ~$5/gallon. So 5.7 gallons per 9 hours times 12 hours times 365 days equals 2774 gallons times $5/gallon equals $13870. This is $0.63/kwh. Average electricity cost in NB is $.127/kwh. Assuming 5kw*12*365 = 21900 kwh the hydro bill is only $2781/year. The power poles and breaker panel cost ~$9000 means they can pay for themselves in the FIRST year, Gasoline/Petrol = $13870 vs Poles $9000 + Power $2780 = $11780. Of course new fridge, new lights, heat pump, etc will ad to consumption with electric power but still a net savings.

Very good Joke Jeremy. Your delivery of a good punch line is getting far better... I find I am laughing more at them. THANKS.

Now you can build a little off grid cabin out there somewhere to put your solar stuff on that. Maybe a little hunting lodge

You guys will loooove your heat pump in the summer!!

I'm looking at a little 11.5 acre property myself and you better believe, I'm going on grid as soon as I can. Need to install a well and septic, but power is close.

well it's been fun watching you both ,I have lived offgrid for over 10 years now . But I must leave now that you hooked up to the grid . I'm not mad and I'm sure you don't care. But this ant my thing . You guy's have fun and I hope all things go good for you both . be blessed and live good and as free as you can .

Very well thought out. Smart move.

Welcome to the 21st century. I am 68 and grew up with wood stoves, very undependable power and all the hard work of raising animals. I cringe at even thinking about going back to that. Today a storm hit dropped 22" on us. I spent 4 hours snowblowing and I enjoyed it. But that much fun would last me till next winter. I love my modern conveniences. To me they give you time to do what you enjoy the most.
