The HVAC contractor told us, in no uncertain terms, to do two things right away
I carried over something from my childhood that I probably need to change like soon. When it was Christmas or my birthday and I opened a present, I just tore into it. And then once I had it opened up and in my hands, I was just so into it. There was simply no time for directions. It was all about playing with my new toy. This was the case a few months ago when we had our new HVAC equipment installed at our home. The process of getting the new HVAC unit took the better part of a year. It started with getting the news from the HVAC technician that our heat pump was at the end of its life. We took him at his word and began saving for the new heating and cooling equipment. Then, it was figuring out what we wanted for heating and cooling given how much residential HVAC had changed over the years. Then it was simply a matter of paying for the new HVAC unit and getting on the HVAC installation list. Thankfully, our old heat pump hung on and we got the new HVAC equipment before suffering a heat pump collapse. I was so jazzed about trying out all the new HVAC technology that I pretty much tuned out the HVAC contractor as he was giving my wife vital instructions. Thankfully, my wife isn’t like me and she paid very close attention. The HVAC contractor told us, in no uncertain terms, to do two things right away. The first was to get the warranty on the new HVAC unit registered with the factory because there was only a sixty day window to do that. Second, we needed to call the HVAC company to set up seasonal HVAC maintenance for our new HVAC unit.
