My apartment uses a heat pump system for both heating as well as cooling.
I simply need to press a button to change between the two settings.
Since I replaced it with a smart thermostat, even that is easier. I like my system as well as it does a wonderful job, but I am hopeful that it dies soon. The reason is that I don’t like that I have the benefit of a heat pump, but it is connected through ductwork. I consistently have troubles with dirty as well as dry air quality. That is due to the air going through the ducts, however once my system fails, I will change it to a ductless model. I want every room of the apartment to have its own indoor air handler with a thermostat. They will be connected to one outdoor air compressor as well. With this type of heat pump installation, I can have Heating as well as Air Conditioning zone control. I want my son’s room to be the ideal temperature range for babies. I want my dining room a little warmer as well as I know my fiance wants her room chilly cold. I additionally have a laundry room as well as a second washroom that doesn’t need heating as well as cooling most of the year. Why am I paying to give temperature control there? This is my long-range plan. Sadly my heat pump is currently only around 7 years old. I still have around another ten years left. So anytime there is a slight mishap, I call for heat pump repair as well as it gets the job done. Once it no longer can be fixed, I will entirely be excited about upgrading to a nicer model.
