It was a spring and summer that saw plenty of stress for us when it came to our residential HVAC.
- My wife and I have been lucky to live in our home for just past a quarter of a century.
When we bought this home, it sort of came with new HVAC equipment. However, it really wasn’t the sort of HVAC equipment that we might have picked out. But that’s what the previous owner went with and that was the part of the final negotiations on the house. For sure, the HVAC equipment that we had all of those years wasn’t second rate. It just wasn’t as efficient as perhaps we might have liked. But we made sure that the HVAC got consistent, seasonal HVAC maintenance every single year. We even joined the HVAC service plan as soon as it was offered by our local HVAC company. That made it even easier to deal with the HVAC maintenance as they set up appointments and all I had to do do was confirm online. But it was during the spring air conditioning tune up when I learned we were going to have to replace the HVAC. I guess we should have planned a bit better because we really didn’t have the money saved up for the new residential HVAC. The HVAC technician told us to look for big spikes in utility costs from the HVAC cooling. This would be a sign that the HVAC unit was on his way out. So we spent all spring and summer with our eyes glued to the HVAC unit into the utility costs. Thankfully, we made it to the fall and have been able to save up enough money to get new residential HVAC.
