Soon, I may be regretting selling the family home and moving down here to the land of the heat pump.
This is my first full Summer down here and I’m a bit scared. It’s May and there are days where the heat and humidity feel like the worst that the weather could deliver back home. And again, it’s just May. Like the folks around here are out soaking up every moment of being outside while they can. Soon, the heat and humidity level will be such that there’s more time spent inside the central air conditioning for sure. I understand that it gets so hot that going to play golf during the peak heating hours of the day is a death wish for a fat guy like me. So we’ll have to see if indeed moving down here was the right call. But it’s not like we’re going home because we sold that home. It was our family home for just shy of 32 years. We lucked out and got to retire almost a decade early so having a great, big house made zero sense. The realtor was a close friend and we just followed the list of projects we needed to get done in order to garner a great price. First on the list was replacing the old HVAC equipment. Thanks to 3 decades of HVAC maintenance twice a year, we were on the original residential HVAC that came with the house. The new residential HVAC was quite something though. I couldn’t believe the evolution in HVAC technology.
