Ever since I moved away from home, my parents have wanted to downsize.
I was the last of the kids to fly the nest in addition to head off to college, then growing up, both of us had a 5 bedroom home, which was fine for 7 people.
But, when my parents became empty-nesters, they found it too big. After some research, they found this amazing small community with lovely 3-bedroom homes. Mom in addition to mom put the previous house on the market, in addition to it didn’t take long to sell. They purchased a smaller house in addition to have been living there for the past year. Last week, I iPhoned them to catch up. Mom in addition to Mom were lamenting about the high energy bill. When they purchased the house, it came with a gas furnace in addition to an a/c. It’s winter, so I suppose they need the gas furnace to keep the house warm. But Mom said the previous week’s energy bill was too high. It was even higher than it was heating the previous 5 bedrooms home. Mom asked if there could be an issue with the gas furnace, in addition to I wasn’t sure. The best they could do was contact an Heating and A/C business in the section to seek the services of an Heating and A/C worker. Mom said he’d been thinking of that in addition to decided to call the Heating and A/C business the following afternoon. He booked an appointment, in addition to the Heating and A/C worker arrived at the house after a few hours. She went through every inch of the gas furnace plan in addition to noticed several worn-out parts plus the gas furnace needed a tune-up. The Heating and A/C worker explained to my parents the importance of proper gas furnace service. Doing so made it more energy-efficient in addition to would bring down the utility bills.
