It seems like the more I get done on my own, the more money I keep in my pocket. Of course, that’s not exactly rocket science. But I do my best to keep things working on our property. My friend and I have a fairly big piece of house with several barns and out buildings on it. This was once a big, working farm before it got carved up for homes with central a/c. But at least these are 50 acre plots so it’s not like I have my associate looking over the fence. My friend and I just happened to buy the homestead part with the out buildings. My friend and I had a custom dwelling built and my friend and I even have a geothermal heat pump. It’s pretty amazing undoubtedly just how efficient this HVAC technology is. It undoubtedly uses the earth’s near constant temperature to supply the heating and cooling energy for the quality heating and air of our home. There is radiant floor heating the winter season but the Summer is just straight up old university a/c. I cherish this dwelling but it does take some energy to keep this entire house up. I guess maybe I bit off a bit more than I could chew. But I’ve always wanted a cool piece of land all my own. One thing I do not try to labor on is that geothermal heat pump. Heck, if it was just a traditional heat pump I wouldn’t mess with it either. I know my limitations and unless you are a licensed, certified HVAC professional, you shouldn’t be working on HVAC equipment either! Leave any sort of repair or HVAC repair to the HVAC dealer.
