My parents just reached thirty years of marriage, and in order to show my love to them for being able to reach this rare milestone I wanted to get them something.
For awhile I was pondering booking them an all expenses paid trip to the beach for a week but then I remembered that my parents aren’t like most parents.
While most people would love to spend a week relaxing and drinking ice cold drinks on the sand, my parents would rather stay at home and work on projects together. Due to the fact that they like to be at home so often I decided that there would be no better gift to get them than a brand new heating and cooling unit. When I first told my parents that I was having a certified HVAC repairman install a state of the art heating and cooling unit they were surprised to say the very least. All of their lives the only thing they had to warm their home was a small and run down heated gas furnace that has been around since I was a toddler. I always assumed that in the years since then when HVAC technology has improved they would make changes as well, but that simply never happened. It took awhile for my parents to finally warm up to the idea, but after I showed them how to handle the controls and promised them that it wouldn’t cost them much money at all they were stoked. Getting the perfect gift for loved ones is always a stressful task but I can say that this was a major success!
