It was almost halfway through the summer for the old heat pump and we really thought we’d make it.
That was almost the midpoint of the heat season down here and we were trying to get an old heat pump to the end of just one more season. My wife and I were told during the air conditioning tune up this past spring that our HVAC equipment was reaching the end all his productivity. We were both a bit surprised. My wife and I were both well aware that we’ve been in this house for more than two decades. And we had that HVAC equipment installed when we first bought this house. However, we were lulled into a false sense of security as the HVAC unit had never given us a moment’s problem. This has everything to do with the fact that we were part of an HVAC service plan provided by our HVAC company. With this HVAC service plan, we got consistent HVAC maintenance. Obviously, that HVAC maintenance made all the difference. However, since we never had any heating and cooling problems, we never thought to start saving for the new residential HVAC. And that’s why we had to try to get through another summer with the old heat pump. It was a bet I won’t make again. Fortunately, we got through the summer but barely. The HVAC cooling costs began to spike tremendously towards the end of heat season. But we were able to save up the money we needed to save in order to get the latest and HVAC technology.
