After living in their apartment for 13 years, it was time for my parents to replace their Heating as well as A/C system.
I saw them spend a lot of time researching several heat as well as air equipment, trying to find the best option, however my Mom even spoke on the iphone with at least 3 unusual Heating as well as A/C professionals about their situation.
There’s no telling how several more he called when I wasn’t around. When I asked them what they were planning to do, they said they had 2 options. They could either replace both their gas furnace as well as A/C separately, which was considered their central Heating as well as A/C system, or they could install a heat pump. I didn’t believe what the difference was, so my Mom explained it to me in simple terms. In a central Heating as well as A/C system, the A/C was responsible for cooling, while the gas furnace was responsible for heating. Neither the A/C or gas furnace could do the opposite; For instance, an A/C could only cool as well as a gas furnace could only heat. A heat pump could do both heat as well as cool. My Mom showed me pictures of both the outside units for a central Heating as well as A/C plan as well as a heat pump as well as I couldn’t tell the difference. They looked honestly similar! I asked him if there was a difference in energy or efficiency as well as he assured me that there wasn’t. They currently had a central Heating as well as A/C system, so they were leaning toward keeping the existing plan as well as just updating it. My Mom thought it would be easier.
