I knew it wasn’t going to be cheap to replace the HVAC unit in my mom and dad’s house.
I knew that’s why they were taking their time to have the work done.
I wanted to get the heating and AC system replaced before I moved across the country. I was really worried about my mom and dad being alone, but I had a job offer that was too good to pass up. One of the things that my parents called me about during the winter months is the furnace. I thought a new HVAC system would cut down on a lot of the problems they regularly have. My dad did not want me to pay for the new heating and air conditioning system, but I insisted. My parents were happy for the new equipment, but the cost of the new equipment was steep. It was nearly $7,000 to update the furnace and air conditioner. The new machine is much more energy efficient than the old one. It even came with multiple rebates from the city and the state. I left for the new job a couple of months after my mom and dad got the new furnace and air conditioner. They felt like I was leaving them for good and they were upset. They claimed that the new furnace and air conditioner was a way to keep them from getting upset, but that clearly didn’t work. My mom was more upset than I’ve ever seen her, even when I went all the way across the country for college.
