It’s so crystal clear in my mind the picture of the house in the rearview mirror as I pulled away for the last time.
And I was so glad that I wasn’t sad but felt like we were making the right move instead.
I’m normally all about second guessing when it comes to big decisions. But the fact that it was early fall and we had started a HVAC Heating in the car that day was enough to remind me how much I hate winter. I was just done with all the cold and the snow. It was time to trade a gas furnace for a heat pump. I was so ready to be done with all those high heating costs. Now down here, the summer heat sort of balances that out a bit. But I’d much rather conserve on HVAC cooling than freeze in the sort of winter that we just left. Sure, it was tough leaving family and good friends. Fortunately for my wife and I, we don’t have children that we had to relocate and put in new schools. So when I got a job offer to join a regional office down south, I immediately went to my wife about it. She was all in and started looking to see if she could transfer to the commercial HVAC of a regional office herself. We found a great house with great residential HVAC and it does not come with a gas furnace. It’s been a few years now and we absolutely love where we live. Again, the summer can be tough but I’d much rather manage summer heat with HVAC cooling than deal with a gas furnace and snow and ice.
