The ductless heat pump is the reason why this winter has been so enjoyable. Undoubtedly, a 75-year-old man’s definition of fun may be very different from that of a person of younger age. A successful skiing trip or the ability to take advantage of a mild winter during which the heat pump is barely turned on can both be considered a blast of winter. These things are not at all like the things that have brought me joy this winter. Since I was able to spend so much time in the sunroom this winter, I was ecstatic. When we decided we weren’t going to retire in the south, we had the sunroom added on. We were sick of the winter weather, but moving away from our friends and family to enjoy the abundant air conditioning in the south just wasn’t an option. That ultimately turned out to be a deal breaker for us because we want to enjoy our friends and be an active, weekly part of the lives of our grandchildren. So, we remained there and built a sunroom. Being with them for most of the year has been wonderful. I didn’t particularly enjoy spending the winter there, though, before we installed the ductless heat pump. When the HVAC specialists installed the ductless heat pump, I definitely changed my mind. My realization that this HVAC equipment addition was going to change my life came to me after only a few days. I’ve slowed down significantly at this age. Not that I don’t appreciate the life I have, though. For me, it opened up an entirely new world when I received some heating from the ductless heat pump outside in the sunroom. I could observe the birds, animals, and activities in the neighborhood while sitting still. This is fantastic.
