I’m still learning what it takes to be a homeowner. In my mind, I guess I thought it would be all green lights once I signed the papers and got the keys to the front door. But that was really just the beginning. To actually get into a house, I had to go with one that needed a whole lot of care. So right away, I had to get to work. One of the first things we had to do was to replace the heating and cooling equipment. Of course, that’s the domain of the HVAC professional. I’m not dumb enough to think that I could even work on an HVAC unit much less install one. But I have plenty of buddies who think on that level and have been really disappointed by the outcome of their actions. So I definitely took note of that. Once the new HVAC unit was installed, I immediately turned to the HVAC company again. This time, it was more about protecting my investment. I ended up joining the HVAC service plan the very day after the residential HVAC was installed. For sure, just like any other essential appliance, the residential HVAC needs attention. Most of us don’t think twice about getting an oil change for the car. But we sort of ignore the heating and cooling equipment at our peril. I’m glad to have consistent, seasonal HVAC maintenance to protect my residential HVAC. And of course, if I ever run into any kind of issue, I would turn to the HVAC professionals as well.
