Enjoying the benefits of HVAC in our sunroom
We didn’t have to hunt too long when it came to finding this house.
And I think my wife and I were sort of ready for the process of finding our retirement home to be a long road.
So we sort of started in earnest nearly 18 months before we retired. But the process itself was sort of a fun one. That’s because we got to leave the cold and our gas furnace for four days to go south to better weather in search for a new home. What’s so ironic is the fact that we ended up finding the house we wanted on our very first trip. Of course, we didn’t make an offer right away. We came home, cranked up the HVAC and talked for a long time about it before pulling the trigger. We weren’t exactly super excited about paying a mortgage on a home we weren’t going to live in for a year. But it also allowed us to do some things to the property prior to us moving in there when we retired. The house we found was in great shape structurally but it needed plenty of renovations. And that’s one of the reasons we found it at such a great price and just could not pass it up. Among the things that we had to do was to replace the old central air conditioning with new residential HVAC. We chose the sort of residential HVAC that came with plenty of HVAC technology as well. But another thing that had to be done was upgrading the sunroom. The sunroom had been attached after the house was built. But we decided to open up the whole area and add ductless heat pumps so it was really more just an extension of our home.
