I sure will be glad when the Trane heat pump installer arrives Friday morning. This week hasn't been too bad. It got up to 79 inside last Friday or Saturday and today. Two exhaust fans and 2 open windows made it tolerable. It seems weird when it is warmer inside than outside in May.
Well, the physical house structure retains heat and takes a long time to cool. I also have enough appliances that produce heat on their own, and I do cook dinner every day. Plus, I had the whole house insulation improved some years ago so if heat/cool doesn't go out open windows or doors, it doesn't go out at all. Normally a good thing, but not right now.
I've been lucky with the weather this week. May can get pretty warm here, but it has stayed in the 70s daytime and gets down into the 50s at night. So at least it isn't Mid-Summer, which is when my heat pumps usually fail. Today and Thursday are forecast to stay cool, so that gets me to Installation Day. Yay!
I'm prepared. All the weeds around the current outdoor unit have been pulled up or cut down. Everything with 5' of the indoor part has been moved away. I've cleared off the workbench nearest the indoor part so the installer has some space to place tools. I'll move the car out of the garage the night before so he has an easy direct route from his truck to the basement. Everything but drinks and snacks and if he wants them, I have them! 😀
