Last Summer, our air conditioner decided to quit working.  More than once.  Actually, in the 4 1/2 years we have lived in this house, we have had to have the Freon refilled twice each year.  We have had the fan replaced and various and other sundry parts.  At the end of this past Summer, it decided enough was enough and it quit.  End of discussion.

This was bad.

Summers in Mississippi get toasty.  And humid.  One day this past Summer the air conditioner decided to quit on a 105 F. day.  Our air conditioner guy was not too terribly prompt in coming out.  That was the day we switched repair men.  Our new guy did a good job.  He was johnny on the spot.  He was prompt and reasonable priced.  He “retired.”  Rats.

When the unit died at the end of last Summer, we knew the time had come.  We HAD to replace the unit.  Glub.  That was not going to come cheap.  This Winter we dived in on the project (along with a million other projects on which we are working) and today we received our final quote on replacing our entire Air Conditioner and Heater system with a Heat Pump.

Our Utility Company offers incentives and funding for this type of project.  So, we checked into that.  We qualified.  We are working with the Utility Company.  Whew!

MFH and I have decided which quote we want to accept and today, we are going to sign on the dotted line.  Hopefully, by the end of the week (Fingers crossed) we will have a new Heat Pump, new blown insulation, new Duct work, etc. installed and a warm toasty house for the remainder of the Winter and a nice Cool house this Summer!  Cool Beans!!!
