Heat pumps – in the south
I don’t know about you however for me whether is an pressing factor in determining where I live.
I am not one of the fortunate people who gets to live in California, but I do want to make sure my environment is semi-pleasant throughout the year.
I used to live in the far Northern and know the country, and it was pretty miserable. Six months of the year were excruciatingly hot and the other six months were absurdly cold. This meant that you were continually running your HVAC system no matter what time of year it was or what was going on outside. It was really overpriced and I don’t know that it was the best situation for my health either. That’s why I have been pretty cheerful residing down in the South and enjoying some warmer weather. Yeah the summer time is really humid and disgusting, however at least it doesn’t snow. Another great part about residing down here is being able to use heat pumps instead of traditional forced air boilers and air conditioner units. Not only are these systems far less overpriced to operate however they’re all so much cleaner and better for your health. Because the air is consistently so hot and the ground stays much cooler, you can effectively use a geothermal heat pump to cool your entire household separate from using any current energy from your utility supplier. Instead of creating heat or cooling power, geothermal pump simply transport energy back and forth between the ground in your house. This leads to enormous savings each year and improved respiratory health and overall comfort in my case.
