I don’t like surprises.
Even if it’s a birthday celebration or something life that, I’m not into surprises.
I’ve been this way all my life. Preparation and understanding what’s in front of me has always been the name of the game for me. So, encountering any sort of HVAC complication during the renovation of my first home was not the sort of surprise I was looking for. But that’s exactly what happened when I bought this house. I’ve spent the better part of a decade getting together enough money for a down payment. Of course, the closer I got the further away home ownership seemed for me as the prices exploded. Finally, I was tired of the poor HVAC in apartments and living side by side with people that I purchased a home that needed plenty of work. I was up to the task when it came to most of the things that needed to be done. But of course, I am not qualified when it comes to the heating and cooling of my home. For the HVAC in my house, I turned to the HVAC professionals. And that’s when I got the surprise. The HVAC contractor came out to do an inspection and that resulted in the aforementioned surprise. It turns out that not only was the heat pump shot, the ductwork was also unusable. This immediately blew up my renovation budget. But thankfully, the HVAC professional had a ready solution. And that came in the form of a series of ductless heat pumps which now provide some of the best quality heating and air that I’ve ever experienced.
