After our propane boiler started needing weekly heater maintenance, the heating technician told us it was on its deathbed and we’d need to figure out a replacement soon.
Our house is old and that particular heating equipment had served the house, several home users for around 30 years so it was reasonable to think about replacing it.
We went to view the HVAC products for sale at an HVAC specialist business and based on their recommendations, we settled on an electric heat pump. The price was higher than we expected and with a mortgage on the house, the only option was to risk having no heating or cooling until we saved enough to buy the electric heating system. It took five months to reach the amount needed to purchase the electric HVAC and pay a heating technician. We got a one on one with an HVAC serviceman who walked us through the installation process and what they needed to do to see the old equipment removed from the house and the house fitted with ducts since it had none. With the old unit, we had to install an additional air conditioner but with the new heat pump installation, we didn’t need anything additional for indoor comfort and air quality. The heat pump comes with a HEPA filter that ensures the air is well-filtered and a wireless thermostat that gives us control over indoor temperatures as well as the use of the equipment. It sounds like the dream heating and cooling equipment, and it has been that especially since the energy-saving tips shared by the technician have come in handy to help us keep our electric bill low and manageable.
