When I moved back to where I came from, it came with a whole new respect for the heat pump.
Growing up down south meant that I got my honest share of HVAC cooling over the years. I grew up in a condo that had central air conditioner as the vast majority of homes did back then. But while I can remember how good it felt to walk inside the air conditioner after having been outside all afternoon, I took the heat pump for granted. Being a kid, I feel that can be excused a bit. Nothing much mattered to me but my bike, my dog and my parents back then. But even as I grew up, I just totally took the quality heating and air I gained from the heat pump as almost a right. Well, I got some HVAC karma on that one. Once I finished school, I was provided a prime position with one of the better firms on my list. That task also came with a relocation to the far reaches of the north. And of course, that was my first introduction to what a real winter season was life. I was also getting HVAC heating from a gas furnace for the first time. It was such a dramatic change that I was almost sort of traumatized to be honest. But my job was starting and that’s what was most important to me at the time. After more than a decade of those winters, I was so glad to come back to my condo region with a new position in a new office. And I was so genuinely glad to be able to prefer having the heat pump back in my life.
