I’m not sure exactly why it was assumed that my partner Sam as well as I would retire down south, like, I can’t remember the start of that conversation. It was just naturally understood that when Sam and I retired, we’d ditch the winter time as well as head for the sun as well as all that air conditioner. So that’s how Sam and I planned it even though we’ve never lived anywhere else in our entire life. Sam and I live in a region that has plenty of frigid weather in the winter time but it’s not adore some of the brutal winter time conditions even farther north. Still, we’ve consistently had a gas oil furnace for heating in the winter. Sam and I have a central air conditioner plan that also includes the cooling side with a nice new heat pump. The plan was that we’d trade the gas oil furnace for only a heat pump when Sam and I moved south. As my pal and I started looking for arenas to live, Sam and I started to realize that maybe moving south wasn’t what my pal and I certainly wanted to do. It was a nice idea, the weather was wonderful but it wasn’t home. That started to change the conversation. Once Sam and I updated the Heating as well as A/C equipment to sell our family home, Sam and I met the Heating as well as A/C contractor who would be the tipping point for our plans. Sam and I had been on the fence about leaving or building a fence. And when Sam and I started talking with the Heating as well as A/C professional about the geothermal heat pump, it changed things. It fit our plans for quality heating as well as air so Sam and I stayed put as well as built this attractive, small sanctuary of a home. At least Sam and I did trade the gas oil furnace for a heat pump when it came to heating our home. And I will also say that the radiant floor heating powered by the geothermal heat pump is the most amazing heating ever.
