Things are still a bit new to me when it comes to this whole adulting scene.
- I’m 29 and have just purchased my first starter home.
It’s not all that much but it’s for sure mine. I just like the idea that I’m not paying rent any longer. I’m building equity while also enjoying things like reliable HVAC equipment with updated HVAC technology. That’s a far cry from what was happening in apartment life. I really wasn’t too comfortable when it came to quality heating and air in either of my apartments. So having new HVAC equipment and great residential HVAC is awesome. But having a home has offered a learning curve for me as well. I’m seeing that there are things that just have to get done. There isn’t an office to call any longer when something isn’t right. But the big thing is that all the maintenance stuff for the house is on me alone. And if I don’t get that sort of stuff done, then I’m doing a disservice to the investment I’ve made. For sure, I had to put some money into this place to make it livable. So I plan to live here and continue to improve the property until I’m ready to start a family if I get that lucky. Taking care of the investment in HVAC equipment is a priority and really, it’s just logical. Like I said, I see this house not only as my home but more of a medium term investment as well. So, it just made total sense to me to sign up for the HVAC service plan offered by the local HVAC company I use. They come out to do heating maintenance in the fall and follow that up with an air conditioning tune-up in the spring. I’m covered.
