I wish I would have had our oil furnace replaced last Wintertide instead of waiting until now.
- My HVAC contractor told myself and others that our oil furnace was completely dead and that it would never turn on again, however even upon hearing this, I thought it was better to wait.
In our mind, I had plans of saving money all Springtime and Summer so that I wouldn’t need to take out a loan for the oil furnace. While I did manage to save some money for the modern oil furnace, it’s still a big purchase that I dislike spending. I also had the awful dread of having our oil furnace replaced hanging over our head for almost an entire year, even if I would have taken a small loan to spend money for a modern oil furnace, the loan wouldn’t have gained any interest for a year. I could have saved myself the stress and anxiety and simply had our oil furnace replaced from the start! Not to mention, a lot of companies have been struggling to keep their inventory. A lot of appliances and component are on backorder and it’s almost impossible to get something delivered. Thankfully, the HVAC contractor I was laboring with had the oil furnace I needed in stock, however it was a big risk to take. If I would have had to wait for a modern oil furnace to arrive, I would have been without heat during the Wintertide and that would have been annoyed. It’s better to plan ahead and face the pressing at the start rather than the end. It may be harder, however it’s easier in the long run.
