Since the pandemic hit, work has been unstable.
It’s taking longer to get back all the clients I lost.
If that’s not bad, I had to go ahead with the upgrades I’d planned for my home. The contractor already had a percentage of the pay. So, after his crew completed the job, it was time to pay them, which meant dipping more into my savings. I had no plans to make any more major replacements after that, but that’s when my cooling system failed. I’ve had it for 15 years, and this cooling system has served me well. I bought and had it installed after buying a house in this area. The HVAC company I contacted did a great job advising me on the best cooling system to install for my new home. They sent over an HVAC technician who installed it and ensured the HVAC ductwork was set for summer. But, now that it’s been years, it seems it’s time to buy a new one. This will mean either paying with a credit card or using my savings. Perhaps I should divide the cost to ensure I still have money left for the bills. Business is picking up, and I’m hoping that things will get better as people resume normal living. But, until then, I still have to tighten the belt. Still, I won’t compromise and go for a mediocre cooling system. I want a modern unit that will last just as long or even longer than the one at home. The HVAC company which helped me out before is still in business, so I’ll get in touch with them soon.
