It’s not going to be too much longer before I hear that chorus of heat pumps firing up again.
But man, it has been so nice to be able to adore the quiet when sitting outside! During our winter, there is absolutely little demand for heating. So the heat pump rests & that provides all sorts of peace & quiet for me. But as my friend and I transfer on into January, I’m relishing this last bit of winter. While I absolutely hate it for folks up north who get battered with horrible cold & lots of snow & ice, I sure cherish this kind of winter. It’s the sort of winter time that I grew up with but completely took for granted. That all changed when I took my first job out of university. I ended up way up north where you had to have a gas boiler or a boiler to keep you warm during the winter. That tuned to me in real quick to just the sort of winter time I wanted to experience the rest of my life. So as soon as I could, I turned my back on the gas boiler & welcomed the heat pump back into my life. As much as I cherish the winter time weather down here, I know that I have to pay for it with the heat & humidity that’s coming. It will not be long before I call to have the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C supplier come out to do the air conditioner tune up. But separate from air conditioner, living here would be torturous during the summer, but not only does the air conditioner supply the cooling comfort my friend and I need, it also balances the humidity in our homes.
