Ductless heat pump supplies year round comfort
I think it started to become clear that were weren’t moving to the south about a couple of years before my husband retired.
The plan had always been to ditch winter and leave the gas furnace behind.
We wanted to enjoy being outside all year while we could. I mean if we spent all that time working inside the commercial HVAC of an office so we could afford a retirement, we wanted to use it. Plus, we both had really made an effort to stay active and healthy as we entered our sixties. So it made sense to us to move to the south and trade heating in the winter for air conditioning in the summer. But the closer we got to the actual time of walking away from that commercial HVAC, the less sure we were about moving away. It was absolutely true that we were sick of winter. Just leaving a cozy house every morning to fight with ice and snow in order to get your car out and get yourself to work was a hassle.However, leaving our home and this property that we love was not as easy as we thought it was going to be. By the final year of my husband’s career, we had decided that we would put the brakes on moving south to all that air conditioning. Instead, we’d start doing some things that we’d always wanted to do to our house and property. One thing we did was to add a sunroom that really opened up the back end of the house. We had a ductless heat pump installed in that sunroom and I’ve been amazed by the great the quality heating and air.
