When my husband told me that he made arrangements to have a new Heating plus Air Conditioning plan installed, I was stunned! I simply asked him to be there for the HVAC tune-up, not to go for a new HVAC plan which we didn’t have the money for! I’m glad I wasn’t out of the neighborhood or anything or the new HVAC plan would have been installed for sure and I would have been faced with the upgrade bill.
I ended up calling the HVAC supplier and asked them what they were trying to do.
It seemed to me that some HVAC expert smooth talked my husband into thinking it was good to go for a new HVAC plan even though my HVAC was only 8 years old. I knew that we could get another 7 years out of the HVAC at least and to me it would have been a large waste of money, and sure, some of the smooth talkers will try to get you with the whole thing about how new HVAC systems are more energy efficient. Sure, I get that, but the thing is, when my HVAC plan is finally done, I will have a HVAC plan replacement that’s far more energy efficient! So I figure it’s still best to let your HVAC go for at least 15 years or until it dies. Of course, if you want it to keep running for a long time, you have to make sure to take excellent care of your HVAC system, make sure to get respected HVAC service and everything, anyway, I was able to cancel the upgrade appointment with the HVAC corporation, even though they gave me a difficult time about it!
