Read MoreThe static value of homeownership has taken a very deep hit over the last decade and more. The risks and responsibilities of owning a home is tough to rationalize given the limited return on investment. That catastrophic HVAC failure and subsequent replacement is out there waiting to happen. My wife and I have been very […]

Read MoreI recently had to get our heating and cooling system replaced (it was costly, and it was awful).
