When I got out of college, I was lucky enough to score an entry level position with the company I had interned with. This was a big deal and allowed me to start my career track right out of school. The offices I was welcomed to had it all. There was zone controlled HVAC and all sorts of other amenities. It felt like the big time because it was. And that job came with a nice salary. While it was an entry level position, the pay was nothing to sneeze at. But instead of going wild and spending all that money, I had a plan. It was more important to me to get a house and my own HVAC equipment than it was to have a bunch of fancy stuff and a fancy apartment. So I kept my apartment with the not so great quality heating and air, noisy neighbors and cramped space. But the price was right and I was saving a lot of money. I kept taking the bus to work and didn’t buy a car. It went this way for about 7 years before I was able to put a downpayment on a new house. Actually, it was a new planned community that would come with a newly constructed home. So my first home was a brand new one. I was able to pick from several floor plans and the level of appliances as well. When it came to the residential HVAC, I went with the best that the builder offered. And man, am I glad that I did that. The quality heating and air in my home is the best. I mean seriously, it’s the best heating and cooling I’ve ever experienced and it’s in my own home!
