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 care about the quiet when sitting outside, then during our winter, there is legitimately little demand for heating. So the heat pump rests and that provides all sorts of peace and quiet for me. But as my fantastic friend and I transfer on into February, I’m relishing this last bit of winter. While I actually hate it for folks up north who get battered with horrible cold and lots of snow and ice, I sure prefer this kind of winter. It’s the sort of winter that I grew up with however 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 furnace or a boiler to keep you sizzling during the winter. That tuned to me in real quick to just the sort of winter I wanted to experience the rest of my life. So as soon as I could, I turned my back on the gas furnace and welcomed the heat pump back into my life. As much as I prefer the winter weather down here, I know that I have to pay for it with the heat and humidity that has coming. It will not be long before I call to have the Heating, Ventilation and A/C worker come out to do the a/c tune up. But without a/c, living here would be torturous during the summer, however not only does the a/c supply the cooling comfort my fantastic friend and I need, it also balances the humidity in our homes.
