Apart from knowing that my house has heating and that my landlord keeps the furnace running by handling furnace maintenance, I’ve never been interested in the heating business. My friends worked for a contractor concerned with promoting sustainable consumption, so they were well-versed in a variety of industries. A heating dealership had planned an event to showcase sustainable heat and AC product development. I had no desire to learn about heaters or heater installation, but they consistently attended my events, and I couldn’t let them down. It was, as I expected, tedious for a guy with little interest in the industry. I saw a seat with the words heater, hydronic heating, and boilers, which reminded me of my parents calling the Heating & Air Conditioning repairman in the middle of the night for an emergency boiler repair. I walked through numerous Heating & Air Conditioning maintenance and heard nothing, but the hybrid heater finally piqued my interest. I liked how it worked and how it made the entire event make sense. I stayed for the presentation on how it worked and how it could save energy while also ensuring environmental sustainability. I inquired about its installation as well as how it would switch between the two systems it supported. What puzzled me was how the purchase price was higher than all the other equipment, yet they referred to it as a cost-saving option. I did the math and had the experts explain how the energy savings over time would cover the cost of purchasing the component, whereas the other options would only result in weekly bills for the homeowner.
