When the people I was with and I were going through that first year of the pandemic, I’m so ecstatic that the people I was with and I didn’t chop the HVAC maintenance from the budget.
All of us came close.
For sure, the HVAC cooling costs were a giant target for savings that first summer. My fiance and I both had to work remotely from the central a/c of our condo for more than a year due to the virus. And the people I was with and I had to take a giant pay chop just to keep our jobs. That’s what led to the cost splitting. Actually, the people I was with and I were overdue for some sobering financial perspective! Both our fiance and I make a nice living and the people I was with and I were getting a bit loose with our spending. So it was absolutely a enjoyable thing. But that didn’t make it any easier to get our arms around. Both of us were accustomed to toiling in good heating and cooling. The office building I worked in had good commercial HVAC. And our fiance even had zone controlled HVAC which was even more awesome since she had a control component in her office. Working from condo that first Summer was quite a rude awakening. All of us pushed the control component as far up as the people I was with and I could that Summer in order to save money. There were times where I’d where a dress shirt for online meetings with shorts on under the desk. But the people I was with and I made it and the people I was with and I did it without missing a single HVAC maintenance appointment either. The HVAC device is just so essential to our condo that HVAC maintenance is a good value.
