So I’ve run out of time when it comes to any further consideration when it comes to replacing the heat pump.
Well, lets be a bit more real in that description.
I’ve procrastinated as far as I can when it comes to replacing the residential HVAC and now, I have to make a decision. Making decisions like these are not at all easy for me. This is why I would like to have a partner who could help me with these sorts of homeowner scenarios. But I’m a bachelor and the prospects of me having a partner are dwindling to be sure. Yet, you never know just what can happen. Of course, that’s completely beside the point. See, this is how I end up off topic and conveniently not addressing the heating and cooling equipment. I noticed last summer that the heat pump was having to work a whole lot harder when it came to the air conditioning demand. I double checked the digital thermostat to be sure I hadn’t programmed it incorrectly. But that wasn’t the problem. My hunch that the heat pump was running far more than it should have was evidenced by the utility bill. There was definitely a spike when it came to the air conditioning costs late last Summer. so I chose to get the heating maintenance done by the HVAC professional early this Fall. The HVAC technician confirmed that my heat pump was nearing the end of its life. I spent all Winter trying to decide whether to replace the heat pump or to try to make it through another year of air conditioning. Now I’ve come to the point where it’s almost the first week of April and I have to do something now or I have to wait till next year.
