I think there must be a learning curve to any new experience.
- But I have to say that I was a bit surprised at just how much I’m learning now that I own my home.
Prior to homeownership, I simply called a rental office if something like the air conditioning wasn’t working. I’m not at all handy as that just wasn’t something that I found appealing. But now that I’m in my own place, I’m learning to be much more self sufficient. Buying the home by myself was a big challenge in and of itself. Just saving for the down payment took me over a decade before I had enough to actually buy. But since it’s just me, I was able to find a starter home in my price range. All the essentials were in turnkey shape when I bought this house. There was a new roof and the kitchen had been completely renovated. Additionally, there was new HVAC equipment to provide the heating and cooling comfort I wanted. The HVAC unit is of good quality and a very reliable brand. I actually splurged a bit and had a smart thermostat installed as well. With the smart thermostat, I at least don’t have to be on top of the thermostat setting all the time in order to save money on utility costs. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have other responsibilities when it comes to the residential HVAC. I want to protect this investment so enrolled the HVAC unit in the HVAC service plan. I’m also setting alarms on my phone to remind to do my part with changing the air filter, etc.
