It may almost be the official start of spring, but temperatures are still cool for now, and probably will be throughout the start of May. Hopefully, your heating system served you well and you’ve had minimal problems with it—this will typically be the case if you had your system professionally tuned-up before the start of the season.
But what if you have an aging heater that’s due for replacement? If you’re also going to need a new air conditioner soon, a heat pump installation could be the perfect solution.
