Another Hockey Connection

The world of hockey, you gotta love it. It turns out that N’s hockey coach also happens to install heat pumps, the very kind that we are interested in. We were talking about building and I mentioned insulation and heat systems, and he said that’s what he did. He gave me his card and said he’d be happy to take a look at the barn and give us an estimate. He can also determine the square footage and calculate the heat requirements for the space.

That’s the beauty of a heat pump system, it is specifically designed for the space it is heating. When you install a boiler, it delivers way more BTUs than necessary, so a lot of heat is wasted or lost into the great outdoors. A heat pump system is specific to the space being heated, so cubic feet needs to be calculated, which in turn determines the size of the system that will be needed. It’s kind of cool, actually.

Anyway, he lives down south, but getting to us would be a simple jaunt up the highway, so I think it should be fine. Stay tuned for more.

Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to one light for the pic.
