When we bought our house, it was in dire need of an upgrade.
We opted to stay in an apartment in the area as we renovated the space. The house’s bones were good, but everything else had to go. My husband is a contractor, so he knows everything necessary to make such a house livable. I help with project management and also simple jobs. We did most of the work ourselves and only hired experts when necessary. The heating and cooling are key parts of the house that we had to hire an expert. As good as my husband is with constructing a house, he knows it’s important to have an electrician take care of the electrical work. Also, a plumber should handle the piping and an HVAC expert on the cooling and heating systems. The house had an excellent duct system. But, cleaning and sealing are required to ensure proper healing and cooling in our new home. In addition, the HVAC expert would also advise us on the best systems to purchase and install. We opted to use a modern heat pump since we live in a mild climate. As we worked on the house, we realized we needed a garage. Since there wasn’t one available, my husband opted to build one, which didn’t take long. After the construction work was complete, we wanted to know different options for cooling and heating the space. Eventually, after consulting the HVAC expert, we bought a window AC unit for the new garage. This was important because I always liked doing different projects in the extra garage space. So, it’s important to have the window AC unit set up to cool the space during summer.
