Our boiler was breaking down more often despite the diligence with which we ensured that heater maintenance got done by an efficient HVAC specialist.
Instead of seeking the input of our trusted HVAC serviceman, my husband decided to do all the research about a replacement online based on the argument that the diverse views of people using different heating equipment.
I found it confusing to get views from everyone but it made sense. Within a short time of research, he was convinced that an electric heat pump would be a wise choice for our house. The only challenge was that we did not have any ductwork in place to accommodate the heat pump installation so we had to involve a heating technician in the decision-making process. His biggest fear was that the tech would tell us that our home could not handle an electric HVAC. Lucky for us, the house could be remodeled to suit the requirements of an electric heating system installation but that would mean higher costs on the entire project. Our next dilemma was whether it was a worthy investment for our home, based on the total cost of everything that needed to be done for the project to be completed. We took months to reach a decision and only made one after a week of using cold water because the heating system had failed once again. We did a calculation of the total amount we’d spent on repairs so far and the advantages of taking the electric system and that sealed the decision. The online opinions were right, and their energy-saving tips were even more compelling that the upgrade would be worth investing in. The HVAC products for sale catalog also showed that the unit would come with a HEPA filter and wireless thermostat which were awesome features for our home.
