A lovely time.....

Sad thing on HVAC, is there is really not that much to a heat pump but the parts always seem to be stupidly expensive. I replaced interior blower motor a few weeks back for less than $150 when a HVAC guy wanted $400. It was some bolts and 2 wires. Took some calling to find a local place that sold to the public though. Most only sell to the hvac companies.

I have found that from cars to fridges and everything in between it is less about repair nowadays and more about part swapping.

Summer 2018 our blower motor digital controller went out, hard to  find it not in a motor. Bill was $800, he left old motor. I got the number off of motor and Amazon had exact part with twice the warranty for $200. Pays to shop. Sorry it broke in cold temps. In 2 weeks we replaced water heater and dryer bearing went out.

Just replaced the compressor and switching valve thing about two weeks ago.

$1100, still had heat, propane.

Then the gas man topped off the tank about a week ago.

Honey, we're getting heat for Christmas!
