I’ve been a bit out to lunch when it comes to my household responsibilities. And I have to change that situation going forward. I think I’ve used the excuse that I work a lot of hours inside the zone controlled HVAC of the office to rationalize my behavior. Yet, that’s so unfair when my wife spends almost the same amount of time in the commercial HVAC of her work. So why is it that it’s okay for me to want to put my feet up in the central air conditioning in my house after work but she can’t? It was really clear that I was not holding up my end of the bargain. I appreciate the fact that my wife communicated that to me in a way that really helped me understand and listen. But not only am I listening, I’m doing something about it. One of the things that I really was embarrassed about when it came to not doing my part was the HVAC stuff. When we moved into this house we invested a lot of money in residential HVAC that came with all kinds of HVAC technology as well. But I kind of had it in my mind that since it was new, it really didn’t need consistent maintenance from the HVAC professionals. Of course, that was stupid and wrong and I’ve rectified that. I called the HVAC company and signed up for the HVAC service plan which is focused on seasonal HVAC maintenance. Today the HVAC maintenance appointments are now covered. Additionally, I’ve set alerts across all of my devices to remind me it is time to change the HVAC filter as well. I’m picking up my game around the house and it’s well overdue.
