We had been looking for a bigger house for more than a year.
The children were not thrilled by the idea of moving since that meant leaving their friends behind and joining a new school.
We were not in a hurry to settle for any house, and we wanted our forever home to meet all our expectations, or at least most of them. We finally moved to a charming neighborhood. The home had five bedrooms with a backyard big enough to fit a swimming pool and still have plenty of space for our three children to play on. The icing on the cake was that the house had a new heating system and one of the most beautiful fireplaces I had ever seen. We called a heating technician from a heating business not far from the neighborhood, who confirmed the information. Before we found the house, I never thought it would be possible to find a home on sale with a new heat pump. When the realtor told us that she had a surprise for us, I would never have imagined that this was it. Our last house had a furnace as the main heating device the local heating dealer installed when our first child was born. The ductwork was older than the electric heater; during every heater maintenance, duct sealing had to be done. The HVAC professional had advised us to consider installing a new home heating unit because we would spend so much on repair and other services by the heating industry. The smart thermostat, however, was in good condition. A good heating company manufactured it. Our new home was the perfect fit for our family, not to mention the excellent help with indoor comfort. With the fantastic heat pump installation, we sought to learn more about heating to take better care of it.
