My parent’s HVAC system was probably one of the best maintained I have ever come across.
I had been one of those people who assumed a lot of maintenance advice from my HVAC specialist. When we had the furnace installed the first time, he would insist on having routine checks at least twice a year, but I was not paying any attention to it. After all, I had never seen my parent’s HVAC system checked, yet it was perfect; or so I thought. I had to learn the hard way when my furnace suddenly crashed, and no amount of repairs could salvage it. The fact that it had not served me for so long, despite having been a new acquisition, pained me more, and I had to pay attention. There was no way I would endure another expense on my savings since this abrupt one dented my fiances unexpectedly. I remember having to cut back on the planned vacation that I was looking forward to for three years because there was no way we would survive without a good air conditioning unit in our house. We lived in a region where the weather would get extremely crazy and affect everyone’s comfort. My first step towards taking charge of things was learning how my parents managed to run all year round without much maintenance. I was n for a rude shock as I discovered the strict routine that they both kept. My parent’s HVAC system was probably one of the best maintained I have ever come across. They continuously changed filters, cleaned ducts, oiled moving parts, and had their HVAC technician visit for routine tuneup sessions thrice a year. They also called for prompt repairs whenever there was a need. Just because all these never happened when I was around did not mean they had a magical unit. I learned so much from them and the HVAC contractor that handled my unit from them onwards.
