I was shopping for new cooling equipment for a client’s house, but since I have no experience in the HVAC business, I had to rely on the cooling technician team at the local cooling corporation.
I knew what the client wanted out of the cooling technology we would pick.
That helped with indoor comfort, climate control, and energy saving. I knew the local service provider would be resourceful based on the quality AC service they’ve always offered whenever I reached out for help with projects. The HVAC contractor assigned to me was new. Still, the HVAC installation business always has resourceful and engaging experts, so I felt safe sharing my expectations and what we hoped to achieve for the client. When the cooling specialist first took me through the electric heat pump, it felt like they were pushing me towards buying it because all the benefits it was said to have exceeded other cooling options I had encountered before. I had to find out the catch with the seemingly ideal HVAC option. I started poking holes at the perfection of the technology because it fit all my client’s needs, but since it was new to me, I had to be sure that everything would work out in the long term. My first question was how a client would survive in case of a power cut if they had no gas option. The expert told me I could easily pick a hybrid heat pump that would allow us to readjust the energy option according to needs. I had also seen a conversation regarding the burden such heat pumps would have on the electricity grid. I was reassured that there were efforts to ensure that it did not come to that because more electric energy options were being developed, and some heat pumps could be connected to solar energy.
