The inevitable has finally happened.

• The HVAC tech told me to be ready for it.

Of course, I wasn’t. I had great intentions. There was even a separate savings account started for the express purpose of replacing the HVAC. However, that money sort of evaporated as cars needed to be fixed or prom dresses had to be purchased. I think I maybe had $800 in that account when our heating and cooling system gave up for good. At least it wasn’t some great shock. I also had started discussions with the HVAC company about the HVAC upgrade that was coming. They sent out a great HVAC contractor who ended up being incredibly helpful. The man spent nearly 3 hours with us going over all of our HVAC needs. He also meticulously took a slew of measurements through the house. Additionally, he thoroughly inspected all the ductwork to be sure it was up to the task and would fit the new heating and cooling unit. I asked if we could get an oversize HVAC unit because I liked the idea of having more power. The HVAC contractor politely pointed out that was not how things worked. Each HVAC unit has to be the correct size for the space. Throwing a bigger unit in would simply result in super inefficient heating and cooling. No, each home needs to have a correctly sized HVAC to get the most out of the equipment. Besides, he told me that I would be simply blown away by how powerful HVAC technology has become. We are also in for some major savings on the utility bill as well.
