The heat pump is aptly named since a big part of the cooling process is to move heat energy from inside the house to outside of the house
It really is sort of a different world down here. Having spent my entire life way up north, living here in the south certainly came with some adjustments. And I’m not complaining. Most of the adjustments have been positive ones. Still, this move has required some getting accustomed to stuff that I really knew nothing about. Besides trying to figure out what grits are, I have had to adapt to not having a gas furnace during the winter. This is a big HVAC change for me. Well, the whole move is a big HVAC change for me. Where I lived all of my life, we were super concerned about the winter and dealing with HVAC heating costs. Down here, it’s the opposite. The main HVAC focus in this area is the HVAC cooling for the summer months. And that’s as it should be because the winter is just not at all something to worry about. Not only did I not need a gas furnace but the heat pump doesn’t even kick on all that often. The heat pump is the center of the residential HVAC world in this part of the country. And it’s well equipped for that role. The heat pump is aptly named since a big part of the cooling process is to move heat energy from inside the house to outside of the house. The more I learned about the heat pump, the more obvious it became that it was a combination of genius engineering and applied physics. For sure, getting accustomed to the heat pump as our source of heating and cooling wasn’t all that difficult.
