I tend to be a bit more sentimental that I would really like to be.
And it’s been that way all my life.
Even when I was growing up in the quality heating and air of my parent’s house, I was pretty emotional. When my gerbil died, I was inconsolable for weeks and weeks. Going outside of the air conditioning to play with my friends was out of the question. I was in mourning. That’s pretty heavy for an 11 year old. Honestly, I’ve tried to not be quite so sentimental and avoid getting so attached. However, that’s not met with great results. In fact, I just sat with a 24 year old HVAC unit to honor it before it was torn out, tossed in a truck and recycled. But to me, that HVAC equipment was more than equipment. That was the heat pump that kept my family warm in the winter with great HVAC heating and comfortable in the heat and humidity of summer with perfect HVAC cooling. So it only seemed correct to honor that effort. Sure, I spent money every year on HVAC maintenance. I called for heating maintenance from the HVAC company in the fall every year. And by late spring, I called again for an air conditioning tune-up prior to the summer heat and humidity. So that old HVAC unit definitely got taken care of. That’s why it went 24 years without a single heating and cooling problem. When it was time to add new HVAC technology and new residential HVAC, I would have felt ashamed had I not at least tipped my cap to that heating and cooling warrior that took care of my family for all those years.
