My spouse & I moved our family to South Bend, Indiana, because of an advantageous task opportunity, then the significant increase in income allowed us to purchase a big piece of property & a apartment immense enough to supply our four kids their own bedrooms… However, relocating from the deep south was quite an adjustment, however while the summers are quite moderate & somewhat humid, the temperature rarely climbs above eighty-five.
The winters are extremely brutal.
They are long, freezing cold, snowy & windy. The average snow accumulation is upwards of sixty inches, & the wind chill is downright dangerous! I don’t know I will ever get accustomed to the winter weather, then my fine friend and I bought a loft that was outfitted with a forced air boiler to heat the entire loft but only window a/cs. I was not cheerful with having a window component blocking the view & destroying curb appeal. Plus, I didn’t like having particular rooms cool & others hot & sticky. When I began researching central a/cs, I spoke with a local HVAC business from South Bend. He proposed that I invest in an electric heat pump. The combination of a heat pump & boiler is called a dual fuel system & provides some major advantages. While the heat pump was a greater investment than an a/c, it supplies both heating & cooling. The heat pump acts like an a/c during the summer time but reverses operation when the temperature cools off to transport heat energy indoors. The process is especially energy efficient, making it less expensive to operate than the boiler. When the temperature drops below freezing, the boiler automatically starts up & handles demand for as long as necessary.
