When we moved here, we were pleased to buy a house that had a sunroom.
We moved during the winter so having that sunroom was just the best.
Our winters are quite mild down here so enjoying the sunroom without any heating during the winter was just wonderful. And then, the heat and humidity came. For sure, the sort of heat and humidity we face down here can be overwhelming. That first summer really took us both by surprise when it came to the level of heat. From June all the way through September, the heat is pretty much relentless. Of course, the house we bought also came with central air conditioning. In fact, the residential HVAC was replaced with new HVAC equipment as part of the home sale. We were able to get really good HVAC equipment prior to even moving in the house. That first summer we certainly saw firsthand just how much the heat pump is completely essential to any household. That first summer came with a whole lot of air conditioning. But it also came with the downside of not being able to utilize the sunroom. Just going out there during the summer felt like you were walking into a large oven. This year, thanks to the HVAC professionals from the HVAC company we use, that won’t be the case. We had them install a ductless heat pump inside the sunroom. I haven’t had to turn it on for air conditioning yet but it sure was nice to have the heating to fight off the chill during a recent cold snap. So it will be really nice to be able to fully enjoy our sunroom thanks to the air conditioning coming from the ductless heat pump this summer.
