I don't know if this should go in this thread or not, but I am wondering about heat pumps for homes and how loud they are. My neighbor's furnace went during the January cold snap and rather than repair an excellent, but older furnace for $1000, he got a new replacement furnace and a heat pump installed.
The issue I am having is that I can hear his heat pump working while I am INSIDE my home, at the opposite end of the house. This is at night with the windows and doors closed.
He indicated that Reliance Home Comfort, the company that installed it has not finished the work. They are suppose to come up and vent it through the roof I guess. Currently it is venting through the side of the house.
Are these things suppose to be this loud? I can't imagine during a heat snap where this heat pump is working overtime to cool his house down.
Our houses are detached and 2.5 meters apart.
