My partner plus I were harshly happy to transfer south. My associate and I bought a household in an section with long, hot summers plus short, mild winters. The residence is equipped with a packaged unit that provides both heating plus cooling. It works by transferring heat from one location to another. In cooling mode, the system pulls heat out of the air plus delivers it outside by way of refrigerant. In heating mode, the system draws ambient heat from the outside air, compresses it to a higher temperature plus delivers it indoors. The first winter we spent in the house, the weather set records for cold temperature. My associate and I had been told that the low uneven temperatures never drop further than the high forties. That winter, the temperature plummeted into the twenties. Our furnace couldn’t keep up. My associate and I bundled up in layers of sweatshirts plus heavy socks. Several times, the heating unit froze, plus we needed to shut it off particularly plus attempt to thaw it out. My partner finally bought an electric boiler that is designed to look like a wood-burning stove. It adds some ambience plus also some extra heat! Just that little electric boiler was enough to make a difference in our level of comfort. My associate and I have not needed the electric boiler since that first year. We’ve now lived in the household for six years. The winters have been appealingly mild. However, if we get another especially cold season, we’ll be ready. I am especially thankful that we’ve never had any complaints with the system in cooling mode. It actually combats the high heat plus humidity we face for more than half the year.
