My partner plus I moved our family to South Bend, Indiana, because of an advantageous job opportunity! The significant increase in income allowed us to purchase a immense piece of condo plus a home large enough to supply our four kids their own living rooms.
However, relocating from the deep south was quite an adjustment; While the summers are quite warm plus somewhat humid, the temperature rarely climbs above eighty-five.
The winters are seriously brutal. They are long, cold cold, snowy plus windy. The average snow accumulation is upwards of sixty inches, plus the wind chill is downright dangerous… I don’t believe I will ever get accustomed to the winter weather, but my buddy and I purchased a house that was outfitted with a forced air furnace to heat the entire house however only window A/Cs. I was not ecstatic with having a window device blocking the view plus destroying curb appeal! Plus, I didn’t like having particular rooms cool plus others warm plus sticky. When I began researching central A/Cs, I spoke with a local Heating & Air Conditioning company from South Bend. He recommended that I invest in an electric heat pump. The combination of a heat pump plus furnace is called a dual fuel system plus provides some major advantages. While the heat pump was a greater investment than an A/C, it supplies both heating plus cooling. The heat pump acts like an A/C during the summer time however reverses operation when the temperature cools off to move heat energy indoors. The process is especially energy efficient, making it less luxurious to operate than the furnace. When the temperature drops below cold, the furnace automatically starts up plus handles demand for as long as necessary.
