New heating system complete!

The guys at Aldridge Enterprises have finished the installation of our hybrid heating/cooling system: a 16 SEER heat pump with a two stage gas furnace backup. The whole system is supposed to be 97.5 percent efficient. A big improvement from the 38 percent efficiency we got from the old boiler last winter! Since the house previously had only forced hot water heat, we had to give up a closet to get ducts up into the attic. Fortunately, we had great space in the attic for ducts. Many thanks to Lynn, Bill, David, and Shawn Aldridge, who designed and built the entire duct system. I really dig the nice concrete pad the heat pump sits on. Always hated those cheap little fiberglass stands...
