Versatility of heat pump is just so impressive

When I moved down here from up north, there was plenty to get accustomed to.

It was a big change given I spent my entire life in the upper reaches of the north.

It’s definitely a different world down here. And really, I like just about everything I see with just a few exceptions. But a big change for me is obviously the weather. I spent winters with a gas furnace running night and day in order to keep my home warm. This was an expensive proposition given the size of my house and the cost of the heating utilities where I lived. That situation has basically been turned on its head. There is no more harsh winter. And there is no more gas furnace. We have a heat pump. This is obviously the first time I’ve ever had a heat pump. We didn’t have any sort of central air conditioning where I came from. The summer just didn’t require it. I think I had a window air conditioner for the bedroom one randomly hot summer. But otherwise, that was it. The heat pump is so impressive. Its versatility is just amazing. The heat pump is aptly named because it actually moves heat energy. When the thermostat is on cooling, the heat pump is moving heat energy out of the house. But all you have to do is move the thermostat to heating and the heat pump reverses the process to bring heat energy inside the home. What a remarkable machine. The heating is even and more than enough for the few cold snaps we get during our oh so mild winter. I have to say that I’m deeply impressed with this piece of HVAC technology.
