tuning the albatross

So it is the compressor in the heat pump that has died. We have no information from the previous owner of the home with respect to any warranty, and our heating company did a search on the serial number of the unit which indicated there was no warranty.

We have an estimate of about 2000$ to replace the compressor, including the labour and the taxes. It is either this or get a new heat pump which runs around 5000$.

This is what it means to be a homeowner - occasionally expenses come up related to the home that are not entirely planned for.

Another 'House the home' post, were I to have such a category.
