Ten years later, and I can afford ductless HVAC.
Ten years ago, my husband started looking into having ductless HVAC installed.
We didn’t have ductwork in our home, and we wanted to get a new HVAC system that didn’t require ductwork.
We knew the ductwork was almost as expensive as the HVAC system. Three years later, we had to put a new well on our property and we didn’t have the money to get ductless HVAC. Within three years, we had the well paid off, and now we were considering the new HVAC system again. I was surprised at how much the price had come down, and how much more efficient it had become. We talked to the HVAC company to get a price on the ductless HVAC system and what it would cost to the installation done. We had made our appointment to have the system installed, when we had a horrible wind and rain storm. Our roof had shown signs of leaking, and now we had water running into our upper bedroom. We were now facing having a new roof on the house. It was now ten years since we first talked about ductless HVAC, and we were finally able to afford ductless HVAC. I asked my husband if he thought something more could happen that would make this once again impossible. He said it had already happened. Our boiler system is irreparable, and we needed a new HVAC system. It was finally a necessity, and not an I want this situation. Two weeks later, our HVAC system was being installed. I didn’t know how good the ductless HVAC system could work until we had it running.
