My brother was insisting we have to go see his new lake house.
- My partner was more excited than I was.
I’d just finished a huge project and wanted some time to relax at home. But, we had to stuff three kids in a truck and drive for miles to this new spot. I complained from the day my partner begged me to agree to go. I told him I’d go, but I’d whine the whole way. It turns out all that was for nothing because I wanted to move to the lake house. It was in an amazing spot, and my brother had just installed a new heat pump. He is a certified heating and AC expert with about 15 years. My brother knows the ins and out of cooling systems, and I’d trust him to fix the unit in my home any day. As we had dinner that first night, we spoke about the heat pump he’d chosen for his new lake house. My brother explained that heat pumps do cost a lot of money. However, they were worth it. A good heat pump can last more than 2 decades. Only needing to change the model would necessitate an upgrade before time elapses. But, never forget to get regular tune-ups and check-ups to ensure the unit is in tip-top shape. I always thought there was no point in servicing heat pumps, but my brother told me that was a myth. Since heat pumps are used in summer and winter, servicing and repair are part of the package. Those who fail to do so end up reducing the unit’s lifespan.
