I need my heater half the year


When you tell people you live in Birmingham, Alabama, they wrongly believe it is all sunshine and heat.

Yes, I do experience hot weather conditions. I own a pool, I get a tan, and I don’t get snow. However, I couldn’t get by with just a cooling system. A heater is a must-have in my area. My heating system turns on in November and I need it until April. So half the year my heating system is working. Not exactly a hot state that everyone believes. I wanted to own a heat pump system but it only works in temperatures above forty degrees. Birmingham, Alabama is too cold. Can you believe it? So I actually got a gas furnace instead for heating. I do central AC for a cooling effect. I have two machines that blow air, aren’t that efficient, and have problems all the time. That is what I had to do for my area. I am lucky that Birmingham, Alabama is a big city and there are quite a few HVAC dealers. The HVAC dealerships all are experienced and certified too. When you live in a city that kind of sets you apart from the rest. So at least I get good service. I will admit that I am not totally sold on my area. I like having two seasons but I have debated on going further south. I don’t want my winter weather to be quite so long. I also get nights into the 30s. That isn’t fun at all.
