But that’s not the way it turned out and I’m very appreciative to the HVAC company for the fair financing terms
I really didn’t want to get a smart thermostat the way I did. This was certainly a tough way to go about it. The residential HVAC broke down the last week of July and we had to replace the whole thing. But it’s not like it just randomly stopped working and was a piece of junk. No, this was a heat pump that had been around for 23 years so it wasn’t exactly surprising that it didn’t make it to its 24th. On top of that, we always get air conditioning tune ups before the heat and humidity descends in June of every year. And last year, during the air conditioning tune up, the HVAC technician told us that it wouldn’t be much longer before the heat pump couldn’t keep up with demand. Well, I took that a much different way than it was intended. To me, that sounded like the heat pump might struggle and end up not being as good at air conditioning as it had been in the past. But in fact, it was a clear warning that we needed to get the process underway for replacing the HVAC equipment. To be completely honest, I think I was hearing what I wanted to hear. I really wanted there to be more time so I could save up more money in order to not have to finance any of the new residential HVAC. But that’s not the way it turned out and I’m very appreciative to the HVAC company for the fair financing terms. But I also was really impressed with all the new HVAC technology that comes with our new HVAC unit. Namely, I’m super impressed with the smart thermostat and it has really done wonders when it comes to saving on the heating and cooling costs in our home.
