I really hate having to invest in new appliances, because they always cost so much money. Every few years when I am compelled to go get something new, I am always floored by how high the prices have gotten. For this reason I always invest in something that has a proven track record for a long life and good performance. If I am going to spend all this money, I need it to be something sturdy that I will be able to depend on for years and years to come. I also look for energy efficiency, particularly when it comes to HVAC systems. A bad HVAC system uses up tons of electricity and provides a moderate amount of cooling, which adds up to bigger bills in the long term. By spending more money up front on a quality HVAC system, you are actually getting yourself lower utility bills for years to come. My current air conditioner is six years old, and still runs like a charm. I always get it inspected by the HVAC dealership once every year, so they can tune it up and make sure everything is running smoothly. By doing the annual HVAC inspection, I think I can easily get another ten years out of this system, maybe even fifteen! The power company keeps raising the rates every year, so I’m very thankful my HVAC system doesn’t use as much power as the old one did. Some people think the annual HVAC inspections are just a rip off, but to me it is definitely money well spent.
