This cold weather has gotta go!

Our trusted guys from MD Heating and Air are at my house right now installing a new heat pump. Mine had some age on it and did not have the efficiency rating that we need to keep Gulf Power off of my radar. With the extremely cold weather we have been having this winter, my heat pump was struggling to keep up. It did not have enough electric heat strips to overcome the defrost cycle while the temps are near or below freezing. Therefore we were bypassing the heat pump and going straight to emergency (electric) heat. Gulf Power was very happy about my making that move! My power bill doubled!

Bad news is, I have to pay for a new system. But, there is plenty of good news. We have MD Heat and Air on our side. We have been working with them closely for many years. They consistently offer the best service with excellent prices. I wish all of our vendors were as dependable as they are! More good news: because we are increasing our efficiency rating, we are able to take advantage of a $1,000 tax credit. This has been extended for 2010. So if you are considering a new system, this may be a good time for you. If you want more details, contact our office and we can get you hooked up with MD for more info.

So yes, I am sick of this cold weather! If it is like this again next year, I may consider opening a branch office in the Caribbean! Actually... that's not a bad idea...
