So much of our saved cash is tied up in our home and our property.
But that was sort of the idea when we bought this locale all those years ago.
It’s tough to know that we’ve been here 27 years. The fact that we are replacing the heating, ventilation, and A/C equipment is a giant reminder though. Honestly, we weren’t sure that we’d even get 20 years out of that heating, ventilation, and A/C equipment. When we actually bought this locale, the previous owner split every corner he could when it came to the necessary improvements. While the heating, ventilation, and A/C equipment wasn’t garbage, it was particularly a long way from top of the line. Yet, we simply enjoyed this home so much that we weren’t willing to let less than awesome heating, ventilation, and A/C equipment be a deal breaker. So like with all the stuff that we own, we began with preventive maintenance. Whether it’s a car, the roof, the yard or whatever we’ve invested drastic cash in, we know in consistent, planned maintenance. That’s also particularly the case when it comes to heating, ventilation, and A/C maintenance. Even with the heating, ventilation, and A/C equipment that came with the house, we had the heating, ventilation, and A/C professionals out twice a year for seasonal heating, ventilation, and A/C maintenance. And shockingly, that paid off giant time with the heating, ventilation, and A/C unit. I can’t know if we got nearly 30 years out of that sort of residential heating, ventilation, and A/C. But it just goes to show that heating, ventilation, and A/C maintenance is an investment in the efficiency, viability and longevity of heating and cooling equipment. The new heating, ventilation, and A/C unit is just awesome and everything that we could have asked for. And of course, we’ll keep getting heating maintenance in the Fall and then another air conditioning tune up before Summer.
