But the HVAC professional came through for me by introducing me to the ductless heat pump
So I was doing my best to simply save as much money redoing this house as I could. Paying the mortgage alone kind of forces that upon a person. Still, I had plenty of help. My brother and all his meathead friends were more than willing to jump in. Of course I promised to the foot the bill for all the pizza and beer involved. After years of being in apartment where I would sweat through the summer heat due to weak HVAC cooling, I was now a homeowner. And I did it on my own which also impresses me since it took me nearly a decade of saving to make the downpayment. I had a day job but I didn’t come home to that weak HVAC and hang out. After my real job, I went straight to my side hustle to make extra money. But all of that has finally paid off. We were getting along on the renovations and were close to ready to have me move out of the apartment with the so so heating and cooling. But then, we hit a heating and cooling snafu of our own. When the HVAC contractor came out to do the inspection, he found that the ductwork was just shot. So we had to pivot as I didn’t have the funds to suddenly rip out and replace the entire ductwork. But the HVAC professional came through for me by introducing me to the ductless heat pump. No ductwork necessary, obviously. I now have a ductless multi split and I’m super comfortable with all this quality heating and air.
