When I bought my first home, I was overwhelmed by all the current responsibilities that I had.
I had to take care of things that I never anticipated like chopping the turf every week during the summer, taking out the trash at a particular time, and caring for my furnace and a/c unit.
The Heating as well as A/C system was my most aggravating task because I rarely remembered to have it maintained by an Heating as well as A/C professional until it was too late. I was trying to stay on top of my Heating as well as A/C tune ups, but one missed appointment turned into another and then I was left with a malfunctioning AC system and embarrassed to call an Heating as well as A/C professional; Unluckyly, my AC system started giving out on me a few afternoons after I turned it on, which meant that it was nearly impossible to get an appointment with the local Heating as well as A/C supplier, however all the houses in the area were switching off their heating systems and turning on their Heating as well as A/C systems, so when I called to have my AC system fixed, they were booking appointments for one week out! Since it was the start of summer, I was lucky to have moderate temperatures to hold me over until the Heating as well as A/C professional could come fix my AC unit. After this semi-traumatic experience, I felt like I could never miss another Heating as well as A/C appointment or my furnace or a/c component would stop working. Now, I have a calendar alert set on my PC to remind me twice per year to have my Heating as well as A/C system maintained before the rush.
