It was better to spend the extra money replacing the heat pump than to stay in an uncomfortable house
Bryce grew up in a loving home. He got adopted at 1 month old. According to his adoptive parents, Bryce’s mom was an addict and couldn’t take care of him. So, she gave him up for adoption. When he was 16, his adoptive parents helped him trace his family, especially his mom’s parents. After a year, he found them, and they were so happy to meet Bryce. They explained that they thought he was dead after his mom overdosed a long time ago. But, his grandpa always held hope in his heart that Bryce was alive and well. Now, it’s been 2 years since their reunion, and Bryce goes to see his biological grandparents every summer. Last summer, he noticed the space felt quite warm while he was at their home. As the temperatures rose, the heat and humidity in the house seemed to increase. Bryce knew the house had a heat pump, but it seemed it wasn’t doing a good job cooling the space. He asked his grandpa about the heat pump one afternoon as they were relaxing after working on the farm in the morning. Bryce’s grandpa said he was aware the heat pump was old and needed an upgrade. But, he knew heat pumps are expensive, and he wasn’t sure it was worth the extra cost. Bryce understood his grandpa’s concern, but he reminded him of the dangers of older folks staying without proper air conditioning. It was better to spend the extra money replacing the heat pump than to stay in an uncomfortable house. His grandpa saw sense in this and planned to contact an HVAC business the following day.
