I think I've found more detail in the past, but right now all I can find is that they claim 100% capacity up to 5F, which is generally fine for NYC. I assume it's lower from -13 to 5, but I couldn't find the hard numbers just now.
100% capacity of what? I am seeing units at the high limits of 40-50k btu. That would not work for me.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

With splits you usually have a bunch not one for the whole house or floor.

100% of the rated capacity of the outdoor unit. I happen to have two 36k units, paired to a total of 8 indoor units.

+1. You can get the btu's needed for any size house, same as full central.

I was thinking you had one unit.  :-[
How expensive was your two units, over 20K?

Actual price for everything installed was just under $20k. But I also had insurance money from the boiler and AC's that were ruined, plus huge rebates from a NYC program, so it was better than free. Last year NYC was paying close to the full cost of the system if you capped off your boiler or furnace. Think there was a thread or two about that here.

And all you needed to do was cap it not remove it. What percentage do you think are still capped?

Duquesne Light's (PIT) default auction did not procure enough for Medium Commercial and Industrial customers

https://www.duquesnedsp.com/Portals/0/Results/Secretarial_Letter_Duquesne_September_2022.pdf

"The supply for medium C&I customers was undersubscribed and only three of the four available tranches were
procured. Therefore, we direct DLC to enact its contingency plan regarding the medium C&I customer
procurement in accordance with its default service plan."

@moko are you ready for .33/kWh electricity this winter?

https://www.nationalgridus.com/media/pdfs/billing-payments/electric-rates/ma/resitable.pdf
This is for supply. Add another ~.14 for delivery and you're looking at a total cost of nearly .50/kWh.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Duke Energy OH was only able to procure 20 out of 40 tranches scheduled to be procured for the 2023/24 energy year due to limited participation in the auction. I wonder if this was an effect of NOPEC's games.
