As someone who’s lived in a heated home using a boiler, I took a massive leap of faith, trusting that a home with an electric heating system would be better for my family. I got sold on the idea after living in a rented apartment with an electric heat pump, and the bills weren’t as excessive as I thought they’d be. My friend, a heating technician, had also told me that the electric heater was hands down the best in the market because it comes with controls such as the wireless thermostat, which allow you to control the temperatures to comfortable levels. The realtor who sold me the house told me that the owner had done their best to ensure that it was equipped with the best heating equipment so I wouldn’t need to change anything any time soon. The heating device had been bought from the local heating business, so if anything happened, they would be available on call to send over an HVAC professional to handle any heater maintenance. All that information was comforting and part of why I took the risk of venturing into the unknown, given how much I like comfort. I got the HVAC serviceman contacts from the realtor, who has made maintenance calls easy to schedule. I cannot imagine looking for a reliable HVAC supplier on my own. My current one has been incredible with tips. I mentioned my dust allergies, and he made sure that I bought a HEPA filter which has made life so much easier. I’m now convincing my parents to toss out the boiler they have and replace it with electricity-powered heating. I might drag them over to the HVAC business when they visit.
