I _just_ ripped out our ~10yo heat pump at home, installed a fully gas furnace. The accursed thing was so loud and it sat right outside my office. When working from home over the winter, it would fire up and drown out any conversation in my office. I gladly ripped it out and danced on its grave.
- lsaferite 4y agoI'd venture a guess that your insulation isn't good enough if the compressor and fan unit was so loud it was bothering you inside. I can vaguely hear mine running (when it's super hot outside), but really the sound of the air from the vents is probably louder. In my case the unit is on the other side of the wall that's about 10 feet from me and under 2 windows.
- pornel 4y agoModern heat pumps can be under 55dB. I've had PCs louder than this.
