As winter was starting, my friends and I decided to take a trip to the cabin in the woods just to relax after a serious working year.
- The cabin belonged to one of my friend’s family.
It was a huge cabin with a lake upfront. It is surrounded by mountains and not far from there are the alps. The scenery, especially in the mornings and evenings, is breathtaking. The journey from the city to the cabin was a few hours away. We chose to drive, a decision that we later regretted. Before leaving my house, I needed to oversee the furnace/heater tune-up on my ductless heat pump. This shaved off the driving hours, but it was something I needed to do. The ductless HVAC had been malfunctioning for a long time. I had spent a lot of money on heating technicians trying to have them repair the electric furnace. Fortunately, I did not have to purchase new heating equipment from the HVAC supplier. After the experts were done with my unit, we left for the cabin. There was heavy mist on the road which meant we drove at low speeds. It was super cold and the warmth from the car was not enough to keep us warm. We had to seek shelter at one inn. We were welcomed by the high-quality heating. It felt like home when a new system was installed. During dinner, the waiters assured us that a new dual fuel system had just been installed. The heating contractors had just left the inn just that morning and had removed an old unit. The new unit was from the heating business in town. They had waited two days for the homeowner solutions to send an HVAC professional for quality heat pump service.
