Ductless heat pump completes new addition
My wife and I feel really lucky that we were on the good end of a family need this time.
- Normally, we are the ones who sacrifice the stuff we want for the kids or the family.
Not this time as we were the ones who got to move into the new addition we had added to our home. We not only have our own master suite, but there is peace inside the central air conditioning of our home finally. We we simply had more children than there were rooms in our house. That worked for a while as our two boys were able to share. But then they got to the point where they could hardly go a day without nearly killing each other. We weren’t buying another house so we decided to add on to this one. It made sense on a number of levels and added value to our home. The contractor who did the addition explained that the final touch would be having the HVAC company come out for the heating and cooling element of the job. I thought the HVAC professionals would simply run extra ductwork to provide the heating and cooling we needed in our new addition. But that’s just not how it works. Adding the additional air volume of our new room would have overwhelmed our residential HVAC. That’s because it’s rated to just the original square footage of our home. Tis is why we have a ductless heat pump on the exterior wall of the new master suite. But I couldn’t be more pleased with how the ductless heat pump has turned out. It provides the sort of quality heating and air that I thought was only possible with central air conditioning. Plus, we have a remote control thermostat!
