I knew that there is for sure a trade off when it comes to leaving the severe Winters behind, but moving south & leaving the gas furnace behind was done with my eyup wide open.
For sure, I knew that there was a balance to having the sort of winter time hot & cold temperatures that don’t need the loves of a gas furnace.
Shoot, the winter time here hardly even needs help from the heat pump much less a gas furnace. But where I came from, the heating of a home was genuinely the only HVAC conversation that mattered, and that all changed the moment my associate and I updated the HVAC component on our house, sold it & moved to the south. I don’t regret the transport one bit. Still though, there are adjustments. I so miss my ancient friends & colleagues. But I sure don’t miss the underwhelming commercial HVAC of my ancient office. That place was so chilly in the winter time that I had to bring a space heating system from home. Of course, that space heating system could now take care of just about all the heating my associate and I need where my associate and I live now. At the same time, I know what’s coming & I’m already preparing for the high heat & humidity. If heating a condo was the only HVAC conversation back home, then a/c is the focus of HVAC down here. And I make sure that the HVAC machine is ready to go as the Spring gets here quick. It won’t be long before I’m sealing up the condo genuinely narrow & pulling the solar shades to stop the direct sun heating. But I’d much rather deal with lots of a/c than deal with all that gas furnace heating.
