Replace the gas furnace with a heat pump.

Fund it for $880. Proof lands onchain when it's done.

$880 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

What the work involves

The gas furnace at a brick two-flat on the 2000 block of S Throop St, Pilsen, Chicago, IL 60608 burns fossil fuel for every hour of Chicago winter heat; a cold-climate heat pump sized to the readiness survey is the Energy-petal repair, and it cools too.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

  • Manual J/S load calculation + approved permit
  • heat-pump equipment (outdoor + indoor units), line set, pad/brackets, condensate handling
  • refrigerant gauges/scale + vacuum pump + torque tools (EPA 608-certified technician)
  • multimeter + thermometer/anemometer for commissioning airflow and delta-T

Steps

  1. 1. ASSESS: verify the Manual J/S sizing against the home (envelope, ductwork or head locations), confirm electrical capacity for the new circuit, and photograph the existing system and nameplates.
  2. 2. Decommission and recover refrigerant from the old system per EPA 608; remove equipment for lawful disposal/recycling and document it.
  3. 3. Set and mount the new equipment, run and braze/flare the line set, pull vacuum to spec, and release/weigh in charge per manufacturer; a licensed electrician lands the new circuit and disconnect.
  4. 4. Commission: verify airflow, refrigerant charge (subcooling/superheat per spec), heating and cooling delta-T, and condensate drainage; set up controls/thermostat.
  5. 5. VERIFY: pass the mechanical/electrical inspection; record commissioning numbers and before/after photos; leave the owner the manual, warranty registration, and maintenance schedule.

What counts as done

  • Before photos incl. old-equipment nameplates + refrigerant-recovery record
  • Commissioning sheet (vacuum, charge method, delta-T, airflow) confirming cold-climate performance
  • Permit inspection pass reference
  • After photos of the installed system and disconnect labeling

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The money and the proof

What is promised, and what is not.

Funding this work is a purchase or a vote, same act: you either want this done here, or you want the world to contain it. A vote is free and signed; funding starts at one cent and anything beyond the wage is recorded as a premium for the worker. Either way the money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1787185832930_877lmwc","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
