It was the second time I was calling the home services company for heating repair in the same month.
The HVAC tech had even stopped telling me to buy a new heating device, he had told me so many times, but every time I came up with a new excuse.
The worst part was that I had the financial capability but refused to let go of the old furnace. After the repair, I started looking into every heating technology available in the heating industry. I then called the heating dealer to determine how many options were viable. The was so much information on the internet that I barely scratched the surface. Besides the heating device, I also wanted a digital thermostat to replace the analog one. The HVAC serviceman readily empowered me with all the knowledge I needed, and he also introduced the concept of a geo heat pump which was entirely new to me. I fell in love with everything about it, but the installation involved so much, and I was not ready to take on such a big project. The professional was on board with my choice. I am not sure why I held onto the old system when it was always needing fixing; if it was not one thing, it was the other. The next thing was to send a professional to my home to get the correct calculations so I could have the exact figures. He also checked the ductwork, which he confirmed was in good condition due to regular heating maintenance. They would only do duct sealing and cleaning before the new installation.
