Hey people. Hoping someone can give me some insight before I take this further.
I have new neighbours that moved this past September, they're great people and it's quite obvious that they are house-proud. They recently installed (what I'm assuming) is a GSHP. (A trench was dug, and fancy "AC" dealie was installed.) The unit is about 20 feet away from the side of our house, which faces our kitchen window and a sliding patio door.
Now that the temperature has dropped the equipment is now heating the home.... and it's ANNOYING!! It sounds like someone is flying an small engine plane over our house for several hours a day.
Should these units be louder than air conditioners?
I've heard of people building fences and installing 'blankets'. Do these methods really work?
I guess I'm just looking for any advice or other peoples experiences with heat pumps and noise levels, dealing with neighbours etc.... anyone?
Thanks.
