The HVAC professional showed us the Ac filter as evidence that there was mold in the house and I saw all my dreams about the house and my entire business crush
There was this season some years back when almost everyone I knew was starting a holiday home project on and off Airbnb. I fell into the wagon and found the property to buy and rent it. I bought a decent but old house and thought I could style it with aesthetically pleasing décor, get guests and finish paying off the mortgage I took on it, and earn myself some profits. I should never have ignored my sister, she warned me not to go with the flow. The house I bought needed much more than decorations. The HVAC unit was damaged beyond any Ac repair. Replacing it was a priority since we’d need help with indoor comfort. The air quality in the house was already telling that the house had been without a working air conditioning system for a while, but with guests, it wasn’t a chance to take. I signed up for home services with the local HVAC company and started the rest of the work. Unlike most old homes, it had ductwork, and that too needed to be replaced. On assessing the state of the HVAC and air conditioner, the HVAC technician confirmed to us that the existing air duct system could not be used and it would be wiser to consider going ductless because the house also had a mold problem. The HVAC professional showed us the Ac filter as evidence that there was mold in the house and I saw all my dreams about the house and my entire business crush. I wish I had analyzed the entire house before buying it, but I had blindly assumed that I would be troubled by HVAC maintenance or replacement. I got into a push-and-pull situation with the seller about them not disclosing the mold and while I finally got justice, the project had lost its appeal.
