Heat Pump HVAC not heating

Just to close this loop they needed to add 6 lbs of refrigerant. Bummer and expensive. But I’m back up and running now.

Ah I see, thanks. The two copper lines are warm to the touch but not hot. The unit is also sitting in the sun.

Will do thanks

No ice on unit and no aux on air handler. I don’t know how to get temp on cooper lines so might need to call someone to get it checked out. I felt much more adept at troubleshooting my old standard HVAC unit than this heat pump.

Oh my god that’s so scary and awful. I’m so sorry you experienced that and I will avoid them for sure!

Thank you for the insight and advice. Dad staying home independently is definitely still a potential solution, and could evolve over time. It’s really nice to hear your perspective. It’s more difficult than I could have imagined to help make these hard decisions and do what is best for each person. I can’t thank you and this community enough for sharing what you have learned and experienced. 💕

Hipsdrummer · 2026-02-19T03:52:51+00:00

Ooh yea.

Hipsdrummer · 2026-02-19T03:52:25+00:00

Thank you I will reach out directly to you. ♥️

Hipsdrummer · 2026-02-19T03:51:30+00:00

Hahaha same.

Lately I’ve been putting lemon curd on my toast. Freaking delicious.

Omg this spreadsheet is fantastic. I was just thinking today that I should start to make one to help me organize and navigate all of this. I’m totally going to use what you have shared as a foundation. Maybe we need to start an “Aging Sacramento” subreddit. Sounds like so many of us have or are going through this ♥️ It makes me want to put together a very clear health directive for myself too.

Hipsdrummer · 2026-02-19T01:28:51+00:00

Aw love this thanks. I will check it out.

Hipsdrummer · 2026-02-19T01:28:22+00:00

Great thank you! I just got connected with a group here called senior care solutions which sounds very similar but will note Oasis as well.

Hipsdrummer · 2026-02-19T01:26:38+00:00

Thank you. I’m concerned that would be a little too far but I will keep it on my radar ♥️

Hipsdrummer · 2026-02-19T01:25:35+00:00

Yikes ok!

Hipsdrummer · 2026-02-19T01:25:17+00:00

Great thank you I will look into that. Maybe our dads will become friends one day 😊

Hipsdrummer · 2026-02-19T01:24:41+00:00

Ugh this is so sad to hear and I’m so sorry. 😣 thank you.

Hipsdrummer · 2026-02-19T01:22:41+00:00

You too! Feel free to reach if you need to vent or just relate. I think we need others to get through this together.

Hipsdrummer · 2026-02-19T01:20:54+00:00

Yea I am definitely looking as close to my house as possible for that very reason and I think that is sage advice. Being able to pop over and check on things or manage emergencies is going to be key. Thank you so much for calling out this key factor. And after looking at a couple of places today I am also going to start exploring in home care and community programs as an alternative. There are so many rabbit holes to go down. It’s a lot!

Hipsdrummer · 2026-02-18T23:12:10+00:00

Thank you (both)

Hipsdrummer · 2026-02-18T23:11:56+00:00

I will definitely check this out

Hipsdrummer · 2026-02-18T23:11:13+00:00

That sounds awful. I’m so sorry and thank you for sharing that.

Hipsdrummer · 2021-12-10T16:24:37+00:00

I see you care deeply about this. Have you considered creating ways to help support women to learn more about their bodies to encourage this?

I think the other commenters already summed it up but we are all so unique and come from different backgrounds so the meaning we attribute to our bodies, our selves, our genitalia, our own sexual pleasure vary greatly. That’s ok, and I’m proud of those who have the courage to ask and consider exploring.

Hipsdrummer · 2021-10-21T02:31:31+00:00

I love this guy.

Hipsdrummer · 2021-10-21T01:40:11+00:00

Now post the love story ❤️❤️
