My son told me that when he got his own home, he was going to have the best HVAC system available.
- He was going to save money because of how efficient his HVAC system was, and the heating and air conditioning would be excellent.
Five years later, he had a home and our my son’s HVAC system was top-of-the-line. Unfortunately, he hadn’t done his due diligence and looked for HVAC systems that were best for this area, and would be more efficient. He bought an excellent HVAC system, but it wasn’t rated for temperatures that sometimes went well below freezing for weeks at a time. My husband, his dad, was an HVAC technician, and not once did our idiot son talk to him about HVAC systems. He trusted a friend, who was not an HVAC technician, to help him. He said it the HVAC system was expensive, and had all the bells and whistles. It could call the HVAC company if there was a problem. It didn’t people coming in the house and notified him. It even sent an alarm to the fire company and/or police. My husband told him they were great features, but they were all run by the thermostat. He then asked our son what special features were in the furnace and air conditioning unit. He shrugged and said he didn’t know. He thought all those were part of the HVAC system. His dad told him he could have gotten a whole home air purification system, and a humidifier for the furnace for the price he paid for this HVAC system. The price doesn’t always reflect the quality of an item.
