My partner and I have always agreed on almost everything, but we didn’t build our forever home together until we did. Oh, my friend and I argued over the smallest things. You could tell that another couple had made the floor plans and chosen the location together. My coworker and I were having a disagreement about fixtures and other amenities. Our biggest problem was finding the right kind of heater for our home. You’d think it was just heating and cooling, but my friend and I both had a hard time when we moved from a condo with a broken heating system to a house with a new heater and heating system. My parents thought that heating, ventilation, and air conditioning maintenance was a waste of time and money, so I had to live with broken heat and AC for most of my life. Eventually, everything got broken. I had spent most of my life waiting to buy a condo with a working heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. I was also obsessed with hydronic heating ever since I learned that it was what made radiant floors possible. Even though my partner hadn’t lived in a house with heat for most of his life, except for his grandparents’ house, where the boiler was always breaking, he wanted to make an informed choice. He thought that my friend and I could live without radiant floors, and he would read about how much heater maintenance they needed, so he thought they must be expensive to keep. My partner and I got into the heating business, hoping that a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) repairman could help us. The salesperson at the heating store listened to our different needs and told us that there might be a solution. The plan was to put in a hybrid heating system with a hydronic heat pump that would run under the floors and give me the heat and cooling I wanted.
