I lived up north my entire life.
I only relied on gas furnaces, there was no need for AC.
The summer time season is short in addition to not particular ly hot. There would be one or more than one afternoons of heat that would follow with freezing afternoons. There was no reason to have AC, a pool or any other summer time related things. My family had more than two gas heating systems in the house. All of us had a dining room heater, gas fireplace in the dining room in addition to an outdated Moore oil furnace upstairs, even with all more than two gas heating systems running, the home wasn’t ever toasty. The temperatures would get to -20 degrees. It was difficult to heat a giant home that was so cold. Adding insulation, caulk in addition to putting towels around the doors only helped so much. When I moved down south I was gleeful to no longer experience snow in addition to extreme cold. I still wanted a gas furnace in my house. I talked to my Heating plus A/C company in addition to he was adamant that I needed I felt deranged buying a cooling system when I have never needed one before. The guy sold myself and others on a ductless heat pump in addition to I am so thankful. Thank goodness I didn’t go without AC for even a month. The south is the reverse of where I used to live. I now use AC all the time, however very rarely do I need to turn on my gas furnace. It is a nice change up. I now get to be too tepid for once in addition to entirely get a tan. My hubby in addition to I are looking into buying a pool.
