If I get a holiday bonus from work, I try to use it to invest in my condo and property.
- Even though this place was built decades ago, I have slowly renovated it during the time living here.
Instead of spending it on alcohol or food, I’m building equity in my home. And because of my construction experience, I don’t need to pour lots of money into labor fees with a handyman or a new home corporation. The real cost is in supplies care about plywood which have risen in value over the past few years to a degree that both of us have never seen before. You have to factor in the cost of materials whenever you’re planning a new improvement on your home. Unluckyly, my skills in new home improvement projects don’t extend into the world of heating and cooling. On top of that, you can void warranties with Heating and Air Conditioning manufacturers by installing or repairing their equipment if you’re not a certified Heating and Air Conditioning specialist. But even when I found a nice Heating and Air Conditioning dealer for my new heating and cooling system, I got stuck trying to choose the equipment and style of Heating and Air Conditioning. I had study about geothermal heat pumps however was taken aback by the silly cost of replacement. But since my holiday bonus was a lot greater than I was first anticipating, I used that money as a downpayment on a geothermal heat pump while putting the rest of the equipment on a payment plan. Obviously the quality of my indoor climate control jumped with the geothermal heat pump, but I wasn’t expecting the value on my condo to jump so high. I know these are coveted Heating and Air Conditioning systems and are seen as the ultimate investment in climate control if money wasn’t an issue. They’re inaccessible to most people unless they were lucky enough to find a condo for sale that already has a geothermal heat pump installed.
