    I wish I knew about heat pumps a few years back when we replaced our A/C and furnace.

    But they, at least by the time I have to replace them again, maybe prices will have come down or the tech improved even more on these things 👍

      In my case, it was that our local HVAC shop literally only sold one solution. I couldn’t even talk them into a more powerful A/C despite having both a grow op (at the time) and server farm in the basement.

      Our A/C struggles to cool the house on room-temperature days, but that’s beside the point. Heat Pumps will really take off when the small time dealers start stocking them.

        In hindsight, I feel like I was taken advantage of. They even replaced my water heater “for free”, but I should have been given the option to buy one outright, as I’m now stuck in a rental plan that costs way more than owning it.

        And had a heat pump been offered, I would like likely gone for it.
