For sure, I had heard all the stories and actually paid attention.
When I started considering building a house, I really wanted to have a decent idea of what I was getting myself into.
And there were plenty of stories that I was told. Many of them were more on the nightmare side really. But I listened and I really spent some quiet time in the air conditioning, late at night just considering. Finally, my wife and I decided to go for it. If we were ever going to design and build our own custom house, the time was now. We were empty nesters with a family home that was no longer sustainable. Just the heating and cooling costs were ridiculous for just two people. And we also really wanted to downsize. There was just too much of everything. Plus, we had decided to stay put once we retired so this would be our house for a long time. We chose the appropriate sort of heating and cooling equipment for just such a forever home. The geothermal heat pump has the best longevity of any HVAC equipment. And, it’s the most efficient and sustainable. However, the geo heat pump is more costly at first and installation is tricky. So we also had to make sure that we had the best HVAC contractor to take care of the geothermal heat pump. It took us a while to find an HVAC professional who specialized in geo heat pumps. But it was well worth the wait. We’re now in a house of our own design with just the most perfect quality heating and air. This place is just the best and that HVAC contractor really came through for us.
