The big house was good, but it needed so much work that I wanted to sit there and break down.
From the look of things, it might have been cheaper to buy a home even though it was smaller.
The first order of business was to call the heating dealer to inspect the heating device. I had to ensure that at least one thing worked before moving in, although half of my items were already in the house. After his inspection, the HVAC serviceman said he had a lot he needed to tell about the unit. Panic set in after those words; with all the necessary work to make the house at least habitable, I could not afford to replace the furnace, or at least I thought it was one. The HVAC tech told me the system was more complicated than anticipated. The house had a geo heat pump regulated by a digital thermostat. He would need to contact a local home services company specialist, but from what he had gathered from his inspection, the unit would need heating repair since it had been a while since it had received heating maintenance. The ductwork was in good condition, but since the house had been uninhabited for a long time, duct sealing would be inevitable. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined owning a home with my most coveted heating technology system. When my nana said she had the best the heating industry had to offer, I had no idea this was what she meant. I sent a silent thank you to her.
