My hubby as well as I moved our family to South Bend, IN, because of an advantageous task opportunity! The significant increase in income allowed us to purchase a large piece of condo as well as a condo giant enough to give our four teenagers their own study rooms, but however, relocating from the deep south was quite an adjustment, and while the summers are quite warm as well as somewhat humid, the temperature rarely climbs above eighty-five.
The winters are seriously brutal.
They are long, freezing cold, snowy as well as windy. The average snow accumulation is upwards of sixty inches, as well as the wind chill is downright dangerous! I don’t know I will ever get accustomed to the winter weather, then my pal and I bought a condo that was outfitted with a forced air furnace to heat the entire condo however only window cooling systems. I was not glad with having a window unit blocking the view as well as destroying curb appeal, however plus, I didn’t like having particular rooms cool as well as others hot as well as sticky. When I began researching central cooling systems, I spoke with a local Heating as well as Air Conditioning business from South Bend. He recommended that I invest in an electric heat pump. The combination of a heat pump as well as furnace is called a dual fuel system as well as provides some major advantages. While the heat pump was a larger investment than an cooling system, it supplies both heating as well as cooling. The heat pump acts like an cooling system during the Summer however reverses operation when the temperature cools off to transport heat energy indoors. The process is especially energy efficient, making it less valuable to operate than the furnace. When the temperature drops below freezing, the furnace automatically starts up as well as handles demand for as long as necessary.
