It’s been an interesting year and a half around our house.
The pandemic forced all of us together and we had to stay together in the HVAC security of our home for just over a year.
This was due to the fact that my wife has a chronic health problem and was a very high risk if she were to catch the virus. So it was all of us working and studying inside the air conditioning safety of our home. There was a lot to give up because of this situation. But when there really isn’t an alternative, it’s easy to try to find the best in a situation. For me, I know that I certainly changed the perspective of taking things for granted due to our Covid year. And there was a lot out there that I just assumed would be there no matter what. What I learned was that it’s a much better approach to actually start appreciating that stuff. Take the heating and cooling most of us take for granted. At best, I was aware of my HVAC equipment marginally. I wasn’t consistent about changing the air filter. Equally, I wasn’t all that consistent about getting the proper HVAC maintenance for the heat pump either. Well, that changed last year as it finally dawned on me just how incredibly lucky we are to have residential HVAC be part and parcel of our life. I set alarms across all my devices to remind me to change the HVAC air filter. And I called the HVAC company to sign up for the HVAC service plan.
