It’s as though with each passing winter, I get cut down just a bit more by the long, frosty winter time period.
- Our area gets piles of snow and ice throughout about an 8 week period.
The snow is the worst in November, December, January and February. This is a time that all you can do is get as cozy as possible inside the HVAC heat at home. I venture outside the HVAC comfort to shovel snow and keep us from not being able to get around. It has gone on this way all of our life. And recently, my fiance and I had to make a decision on whether we were going to continue this way. Our youngsters are grown and we are at the retirement gate. So, did we want to go to the warmth and sunshine of the south? Or did it make more sense to be near our kids and grandchildren? It was hard, but we chose to stay in the region for family. This meant that we needed to make some changes. For one, we needed a smaller home that we could stay in for the duration. Part of that idea was to have the sort of HVAC that would help warm us better and more efficiently. The current venue we built did just that using geothermal HVAC. The radiant heat from the current HVAC is just bliss. Mostly because it comes from under the floors plus radiant heat just feels so good. I suppose I’ll miss all that great, mild winter time weather down south. But, I also suppose that I will spend the rest of our winter time days in perfect HVAC comfort.
