When my partner and I were building our first home, both of us got to choose every detail ourselves.
Occasionally, both of us felt like we had too many different choices that both of us weren’t even sure how to make! It was stressful.
For example, both of us had to choose our heating and cooling methods and that was hard.. We both just grew up with a gas furnace and air conditioning combination in our homes. This is the most regular heating and cooling method, however, there seems to be way too many options. We were left feeling unsure of what heating and cooling option would be best for us. We did some research to see the pros and cons of the gas furnace and air conditioning combination, but some of the benefits of this system include high efficiency and low energy use for an affordable cost, as well as an affordable installation and purchase price. Plus, there are a whole bunch of brands and features to choose from. However, this category of heating and cooling would require an air duct system. That was another thing we’d have to have installed into the house. There is also a risk of carbon monoxide leaks when you use a natural gas furnace! The air from a gas furnace may produce less comfortable heat, too. And so, after weighing these options, my partner and I decided to go with the gas furnace and air conditioning combination. We didn’t want to overcomplicate things!
