I used to be all about the summer.

When I lived in Florida everything was about the heat.

I owned a bunch of bathing suits since I was basically in a swim top 24/7. There were days I couldn’t be outside due to the severe heat. The winter was the best time to get outside work done. Then my husband had to move us due to a promotion. We moved just outside of Chicago to Glenview IL. The summer season was a pleasant warmth. I actually didn’t even run the air conditoneri n the house. It just wasn’t that hot or humid that it gets in Florida. Once winter came around I realized that was the true issue of living in Illinois. The heater just didn’t cut it. I was freezing cold all the time. I bought a bunch of space heaters and still froze. In order to be happy in my area, I needed to be warm. I also need to switch gears. I was all about heat and summertime. Now I need to be a winter gal. I changed my whole wardrobe to winter gear. I joined a local hockey league and ski team. I also invested in a better heating system for our home. My husband and I have a boiler system that has piping connected to it. The pipes then are all throughout the floors. The hot water then heats the floorboards. It is silent, efficient and it feels so good. I still haven’t adjusted to IL cold weather, but I feel much better about my situation.

I have worked with a company for a decade and have a rewarding career. To be honest, my career seems to be the only thing working out in my life. So, I sort of bury myself in my work and spend hours in the office. Most people, including my bosses, think I am very dedicated to the job and always compliment my work ethic. I am the first one to the office and the last one to leave in the evening because I have no social life. Even when colleagues ask me to join them for a drink or meal, I decline and choose to order some take out. This all began after my last heart break and I admit I haven’t quite processed my emotions and keep using work as an escape. My sister keeps saying all the emotions will one day erupt like a volcano but I am in denial and haven’t even attempted to go on a date since it happened. Well, last month I had to go on a business trip to Lowell, MA and was looking forward to it. Apart from work, I also love traveling and seeing amazing places. I’ve been to Lowell before and knew it was going to be winter so I packed accordingly. The hotel that my company booked was awesome since they had heating in all rooms and this kept me nice and cozy during my stay. My trip was good since I got to close a huge deal, but once more I just spent time in my room when I wasn’t meeting the client. My sister wasn’t amused to hear that and she keeps hoping I’d go on a date.

About five years ago, my husband and I built a home in Lakeland, Florida.

The process was extremely time-consuming, stressful and yet rewarding.

We were able to customize everything about the house to our priorities and preferences. However, this meant a lot of research and big decisions. Choosing everything from windows and roofing materials to plumbing fixtures was difficult. One of the biggest debates was over what type of temperature control system to install. Living in Lakeland, air conditioning is the main focus. We rely on cooling for the majority of the year and deal with temperatures in the nineties on a regular basis. High humidity is a constant problem. Heating is rarely necessary, but we didn’t want to go without it. We considered all different options and finally chose a geothermal heat pump. Although the purchase and installation costs of geothermal heating and cooling is significantly higher than more conventional methods, the system has paid for itself in energy savings in under five years. The geothermal heat pump actually produces four units of energy for every unit required to operate the equipment, achieving a 400% efficiency rating. We spend about 50% less on air conditioning than with a conventional system. The operation simply moves heat between the home and the ground. In cooling mode, it pulls heat out of the house and transfers it into the ground. In heating mode, it takes advantage of free heat, available underground and delivers it indoors. The process is safe, clean, quiet and wonderfully environmentally friendly. Plus, the geothermal heat pump offers virtually free hot water.
