With the cold weather I was hoping to hear of some experiences people have had with their heat pumps.
What kind of backup heat do you have? Are you using it? Is there some temperature where you just stop using the heat pump, or are you even consciously thinking about it?
Thanks!
We had a heat pump in our condo. Thing was nightmare fuel, and always broken. I don’t hold it against heat pumps though. It was a proprietary sized unit, and when it broke we had to wait for parts from like Baltimore or something like that. Only one company made parts, and then they shut down.
Ugh, I’m sorry about that. I hate proprietary stuff / stuff that isn’t repairable. It’s a nightmare to fix.
Hopefully, you have a better one someday!
Oh that was in our condo, a few years back. We live in a house now. It was def a brain dead design, and unnecessary. Usual developer bullshit. That building signed a new long term maintenance agreement with another company while we were there, and they sourced a commercially available unit that would work. So everyone got to spend $4k, but no more issues. Not my problem now anyways, thankfully.
