Before you wonder why I bought a house with old and fragile equipment, the house was cheap, and I’d eventually buy the right equipment
House updates take a long time when you earn a moderate income. I have a list for each room and hope that, eventually, I’ll make the dream space come true. When I bought my home, my mom thought it was insane to buy property on my own instead of waiting to get married. I stopped trying to explain that I’d never get married. So each time I called her with heating equipment issues, she’d remind me that it was a sign to get myself a husband. I stopped sharing my heating device problems with her and found contacts for a heating specialist at the local heating company. I didn’t even tell her that the many heating repair calls I had to make to the HVAC professional were why I decided to move from the rental property and buy my own house. The furnace in my rental kept going off and even damaged the thermostat attached to it, as the heating technician concluded when we replaced a fairly new one. The owner was not concerned, and I could not be bothered to replace an HVAC installation that wasn’t for my property. When I moved, I was sure that the house I’d bought had functional equipment, but I still bought a portable electric heater in case something went wrong. And something did go wrong; the faulty boiler died. It had been installed ten years before I bought the property. Still, the previous owners had neglected heating maintenance, according to the heating dealership representative’s conclusion while assessing it. Before you wonder why I bought a house with old and fragile equipment, the house was cheap, and I’d eventually buy the right equipment. I did a year after moving because I’d started saving immediately. I learned about the issue and how much it would cost, and I got it. Aaa
