I was so thankful that we were able to find a wonderful HVAC business when we bought our first home! I actually didn’t think much about taking care of the HVAC system.
In the past I only rented apartments and used window A/C units.
I never absolutely had a central HVAC plan before. Well, the HVAC professional who came out taught us a lot about taking care of the HVAC system, something that I never would have realized was that you need to cover your outdoor A/C condenser component in the wintertime season. You don’t want snow getting inside or icicles slamming into the component to cause damage. The HVAC professional was telling me how it’s easily costly to have to update the A/C condenser unit, so you have to take wonderful care of it until the whole HVAC plan eventually needs to be updated. He said my plan had a wonderful amount of time left on it and he was entirely right about that. The two of us went for about 8 years with that HVAC plan providing us perfect comfort through the heating and cooling seasons. The energy costs were never too bad and I was so blissful that I never had to worry about setting up the window A/C units every single Summer season. The two of us have been on an HVAC maintenance plan all this time as well, so both of us have saved so much money on HVAC maintenance and care. Eventually, the HVAC professional told us to save up for a new HVAC when ours was nearing its end. The two of us ended up getting a ductless mini split installed and we actually care about it.
