I’m not sure exactly why it was typically presumed that my husband Max plus I would retire down south! Like, I can’t remember the start of that conversation. It was typically assumed that when Max and I retired, we’d ditch the winter time plus head for the sunlight plus all that air conditioning. So that’s how Max and I planned it even though we’ve never lived someplace else in our entire life. Max and I live in a region that has plenty of cold weather in the winter time but it’s not like some of the more brutal winter time conditions of the far north. Still, we’ve typically had a natural gas furnace for heating in the winter. Max and I have a central air conditioning plan that also includes the cooling side with a heat pump. The initial plan was that we’d trade the natural gas furnace for only a heat pump when my friend and I moved south. As my friend and I started looking for locales to live, Max and I started to realize that maybe moving south wasn’t what Max and I certainly wanted to do. It was attractive, the weather was great but it wasn’t home. That started to change the conversation. Once Max and I updated the Heating as well as Air Conditioning equipment to sell our family home, Max and I met the Heating as well as Air Conditioning contractor who would be the tipping point for our plans. Max and I had been on the fence about leaving or building a fence. And when Max and I started talking with the Heating as well as Air Conditioning professional about the new geothermal heat pump, it changed everything. It fit our plans for quality heating plus air so Max and I stayed put plus built this attractive, small sanctuary of a home. At least my friend and I did trade the natural gas furnace for a heat pump when it came to heating our home. And I will also say that these radiant floors from the geothermal heat pump provide the most amazing heating ever.
