When we first moved down here, it was with the intention to live our lives most fully while we could. It was a bit of a gamble since it meant leaving our family home and taking on a new challenge in a regional office. But we were able to upgrade the HVAC equipment and get it sold for a good profit. When I went to see about running the regional office down south, I was immediately impressed with the zone controlled HVAC of that office. So as everything was coming into place the way it was, we just kept rolling with it. And the next thing we knew, we had traded the gas furnace for the heat pump and were living our best lives. My wife and I were in our early 50’s then. We’ve always been active and that’s why we really wanted to get a jump on enjoying southern winters. Our winters back up north were just the worst. It felt like we were inside the HVAC heating for six months and that’s not too far off. Down here, we hardly even had the need for any HVAC heating during the winter. That might have had something to do with coming from where we did. But we enjoyed every minute we could outside. Even during the summer, we got out of the central air conditioning to enjoy the mornings and the evening. These days, we’re in our late 70’s and we spend most of our outdoor time in the sunroom of our home. It’s great because we get the sunshine and the air conditioning from the ductless heat pump together.
