I know I didn’t save anything buying it for less than it cost, but that was the push I needed to get the heat pump.
I was out for work a continent away and got my first experience with an electric heating system. I wouldn’t have noticed a difference in the heating equipment until the property manager of the place I was booked to stay for the month explained how the wireless thermostat works and called an HVAC serviceman to come to change the HEPA filter for my house. The entire unit was different from what I had back in my house and I just wished I had time to interact with their HVAC serviceman to learn more about it but I was too busy. The electric HVAC stuck with me and I took the chance to ask my HVAC specialist about it when he came around for heater maintenance on the boiler I had used for years. That’s when I learned that the electric heat pump would save me energy consumption despite using electricity. That’s all the convincing I needed that the heat pump installation would be a great decision for my home. The HVAC products for sale section at the local business was also selling it at a discount which was encouraging given how much the equipment cost. I know I didn’t save anything buying it for less than it cost, but that was the push I needed to get the heat pump. My house was analyzed for equipment compatibility, we applied for permits and got it installed. The HVAC technician finally mentioned that keeping the filter and thermostat well-serviced was part of the energy-saving tips I’d need to ensure I got the full benefits of the unit. I keep it well maintained because it’s the most expensive installation in my house and I need it to last as long as possible because making such a huge investment on the house should save me the trouble.
