...that is if we can get out of the frozen north. We have solidified our plans to spend a few days in a warmer climate, with reservations for six nights at the Rosen Inn in Orlando. We are covered in snow and ice, once again, but at least we think our heat pump problems are in the rear view mirror. Our first year here, I thought it would be prudent to replace one of the original heat pumps, as I didn't want to have to pay for repairs should it develop a problem when we needed it most in the dead of winter. I got four quotes from different contractors, and chose the cheapest, a Rheem, which was my first choice, due to consumer reports reliability reports and my own experience with Rheem equipment in Florida. Our contractor has replaced the original new unit twice, the second time with an upgraded unit courtesy of the manufacturer. The final piece of the puzzle was solved when the contractor rewired the thermostat, so that all works as it should. High heating bills are becoming routine with the harsh winter we've experienced. I'm hoping that fixing all the problems we've encountered will lower the future bills as well as keep us warm.
