My wife and I started saving to replace the heating and cooling equipment about 2 years ago. It turned out to be just about perfect timing. We are headed into the Summer with a new heat pump and it seems like a whole new world. For sure, we were quite happy with our old air conditioning. Where we live, we only need a heat pump for both heating and cooling. Actually, there isn’t all that much heating to the Winter months. So the whole focus is on the air conditioning. Last Summer, we started to notice that our HVAC costs began spiking in July. And by September, the heat pump was running all the time to keep up with even minimal demand. We lucked out and got through the heat season before we had the new residential HVAC installed. So this Summer, we have been in for a treat so far. It’s hard to really convey just how stunned we’ve been with the evolution of HVAC technology. From the zone controlled HVAC to the smart thermostat, it’s a whole new game. Plus, the heat pump is now so supremely efficient that we are experiencing the lowest utility bills. We knew it would be better with the latest in residential HVAC but we had no idea to what degree. I love the fact that I can customize the zone controlled HVAC so we’re not overcooling parts of the house that are empty or used less. Plus, we had a ductless heat pump installed in the sunroom as well. So we can now enjoy air conditioning out there as well. Before we had the ductless heat pump installed, the sunroom was pretty much off limits except early in the morning. This Summer is going to be chock full of total air conditioning comfort.
