When I went to visit a friend I hadn’t seen forever, I noticed right away that there were some problems.
As soon as I stepped in his household, the air quality was just awful.
I mentioned something about the air quality and he told me that he always changed his air filters regularly and he didn’t know what else he could do about that. I asked him if he had an HVAC technician over to his place and he said that he didn’t like to call HVAC workers because they cost too much money. He also mentioned that his energy bills were outrageous and he honestly didn’t know what he could do about it. This is when I decided to sit down with him and have a serious talk about it. He was my friend even though I haven’t seen him in a long while. I told him straight up that the reason why his energy bills were so high is because he wasn’t having his HVAC system properly taken care of. Also with the rate he was going, he was going to end up dealing with a very costly repair for his HVAC. I wasn’t sure but it could have even gotten to the point where he would have to replace the entire HVAC system altogether. He didn’t like the sound of that so he finally agreed to call up the HVAC technician. The HVAC technician discovered that the ductwork was entirely shot and that he would be best off upgrading to a ductless mini-split HVAC system. He wasn’t happy about it at first but he decided to go with it. After that, the air quality was way better and his energy bills were extremely low. He thanked me for pushing him to call the HVAC technician.
