I was gleeful when I first bought the house.
Although it was ancient and has not been inhabited for a few years now, it was respectfully inspected over the years.
The realtor that helped me get it had done his due diligence and was sure that the owner was paying for official service of everything that mattered including plumbing, heating and cooling, and everything else that mattered! Nothing mattered to me at this point because I was gleeful about owning a house after renting for so long. Once we signed the papers, I hastily moved into the new house and settled, then we organized a welcome get-together and I had a few friends over for a week. The first few weeks of the month were wonderful until most people moved on with their lives.It started with odd whistling sounds from the basement. I assumed that the win might have been blowing harder than normal. However, when the sounds started getting louder, especially past 1am in the night, I knew something else was up. Fortunately, I’m not the kind of guy that gets scared easily! My cousin insisted that the house was haunted because it was too old. However, I summoned enough courage to check out the basement one of the evenings I came house early. It turns out that the heating and cooling component of the house was an ancient boiler. This explains why sometimes there seemed to be cold spots all around the house. The boiler had since stopped being effective and some components were falling off. This is what caused the cranking sounds and it was worse at night since the furnace overworked to compensate for the cold. I had the Heating as well as A/C tech check it out and he advised getting a new Heating as well as A/C unit.
