There’s not a lot of things that I’ve been embarrassed about, but I was very embarrassed when I became a new homeowner.
I thought everything was perfect with the house and I was so happy that I had such a nice place to raise my family.
I went through the years thinking everything was just fine, especially with our newer HVAC system. I thought that since the HVAC system was relatively new, nothing bad could happen to it. I purchased air filters for the HVAC system because I realized that air filters needed to be changed regularly, but I bought really cheap air filters. I also didn’t realize that air filters are supposed to be changed every single month. So I spent so many years not changing the air filters on time, I never had the ductwork cleaned, and I never called for HVAC system maintenance. I thought that changing the air filters was all the maintenance that I needed. Well, eventually I had issues with the HVAC and I had no choice but to call an HVAC company. The HVAC technician who arrived said it was my fault that the HVAC system was struggling. It was embarrassing because this was a relatively new HVAC system and it was having issues caused by not getting regular HVAC system maintenance and changing the air filters on time. The HVAC technician said I was using the worst air filters possible, and I had to change them every single month. I felt like an idiot, but at least he was able to get my HVAC back to optimal working condition again.
I felt like an idiot when I had problems with my HVAC due to my own negligence
