I used to work in the Pottstown/Reading areas and noticed those areas have a lot of houses that look similar and initially seem similar, but when you dig into the types of sewage systems, heating systems, and other major systems they can be very different (i.e. well water v.s. public water).

They quoted me $7,000 for a 3 ton w heat pump.

But you can't escape the value that comes from those non-quantifiable elements like experience, market knowledge, strength of your team, state of the market to ultimately determine Deal or No Deal. 

I work part time with my husband at his heating business.

Appliances with heating elements will use the most amperage (or current) meaning they run your electric bill up.

There are no deal on-market and if you are interested in this area, you would be wise to survey the market and get ready, but wait for the heat to cool off a little bit.

Notable architectural features include dramatically angled Douglas fir beam ceilings, custom built-in furniture, polished concrete floors with radiant heat, and a fireplace constructed out of interlocking concrete blocks (the only one like it that the architect ever made).

Our soil is largely made of clay and our temperatures while mostly moderate have extreme cold and heat within shorter periods of time. 

They will usually stay in the home and find other ways to provide light (candles), heat (propane devices, small fires), and cook (they will bring & use outdoor BBQ's and camp stoves inside).  

Additionally, they stated that they wanted a well-known private heating and cooling contractor who’s office is in the building and is well-versed  on the particular HVACS in the Condo complex  to be the ones utilized to check the HVAC units and give his opinion as to whether they need to be fixed/replaced and what exactly is wrong with them.
