When my husband and I started remodeling our home I had to budget everything carefully.
The problem is that I wanted top of the line everything.
When it came to the kitchen, I didn’t want to skimp on a fridge or stove. I didn’t want to have cheap lights, but recessed ones. Everything I purchased was of good quality and high end. I then exceeded my budget before it came time to replace our current heating and air system. Thankfully the HVAC hadn’t died yet, but was on its way out. Originally I wanted to get a ductless mini split system and put indoor air handlers in each room. I wanted to have a smart thermostat linked up and that meant I could have zone control. Every room would have its own heating and AC different from the others. I read that it is very efficient and convenient. However, after spending so much money throughout the money, accruing enough to get a zone control capable system wouldn’t have been easy. I debated on financing that the local HVAC company offered. Instead, I chose to get a bascia central HVAC system when the current unit died. Now I live with it day in and day out and I regret it. I should have waited or even went without HVAC in order to get the one I want. Now I am stuck around 15-20 years with a system that isn’t exactly what I envisioned for my home. It does the job, but I don’t really like it.
