When the HVAC technician told us that our heat pump was on its last lap, I went straight into how to save money mode.
This is what I do these days in order to get around all the high costs I seem to get whacked with from service companies.
I hate the fact that I have overpaid for services so often. It starts out as one price that seems reasonable. Then, you get the bill and there are all these additional charges that weren’t part of the original discussion. So when the HVAC professional told me it was time to replace the HVAC equipment, I got to work. I figured that I’d just get myself online and start figuring out what our next residential HVAC might be. I mean, how hard could that be? It took less that half an hour for me to realize that I was totally and completely out of my depth when it came to finding HVAC equipment to replace the old heat pump. My wife gave me some slack but I think she already had the HVAC company on speed dial. I relented to meeting with the HVAC contractor and I’m sure glad that I did. Not only was he and absolute expert when it came to all things heating and cooling, the guy really listened to us as well. We had some specific heating and cooling needs that we really wanted to address with this HVAC upgrade. I’m so glad I just let the HVAC professionals take care of the whole thing. It was a delight to sit back and let the people who know heating and cooling take care of all the details. And the price was just as we had agreed to during our initial meeting. Wow, that was refreshing as well.
