This is all new to me and in such a big way.
I’m 50 years old and a first-time homeowner in the area where I grew up.
I’ve spent my entire life in developing countries where I didn’t have access to things like residential heating and cooling. And now I’ve inherited a large house that needs a lot of work. My parents passed away last year. I miss them, but I’m relieved they didn’t have to be apart for too long. Still, I’m an only child who was raised in this house’s central air conditioning. The sensation of having come full circle is almost overwhelming. This is all new to me and in such a big way. I’m 50 years old and a first-time homeowner in the area where I grew up.

The sensation of having come full circle is almost overwhelming. I stayed long enough to be introduced to or re-introduced to this culture. And now I have this big house to deal with, as well as some renovations. In an ironic twist, I’m replacing the residential heating and cooling equipment. However, I’ve decided to go with the most environmentally friendly residential Heating and Air Conditioning I can find. The geothermal heat pump I’m having installed is much better for the environment, which makes me happy.
