When you live anywhere that the heat pump is entirely for the affluent, it can be an eye opener to then see nothing however heat pumps when you move.
That’s exactly the situation when I moved from the far north to the terrific weather of the south. Where I grew up and lived our adult life until recently, the only Heating plus Air Conditioning I upset about was the Heating plus Air Conditioning heating. Summer was sort of an afterthought. The winter, where I came from, forced 1 to be preparing almost all year to deal with it. I had a gas furnace and a wood stove. The gas furnace was the primary and the wood stove was for emergency and supplemental heating. But that thing kept myself and others busy all year long in order to get enough wood together for the winter. Heat pump were for those rich folks who had central air conditioner in their homes. If it got too moderate in our house, I simply put in the window a/c. But that wasn’t always the case with each summer. Well, it’s all opposite now. I moved south when I married a southern girl. Now, it’s all about a heat pump and the air conditioner. I’m not sure the Heating plus Air Conditioning heating comes on however a handful of times all winter. But this place is genuinely filled with heat pump for all the Heating plus Air Conditioning cooling that all of us need here. It’s for sure the land of the heat pump. There is no doubt about that. However, if I had to do it over again, I’d trade a gas furnace for a heat pump every single time.
