My sibling Doug rarely calls me at my office so I knew that something was up.
- I was pretty sure mom was okay since she had messaged me “have a wonderful morning” earlier.
This is my mom for you. I’m 50 years seasoned and she’s 71 but she still likes to say “have a wonderful morning” every single afternoon. Honestly, I kind of love it. But sitting inside the zone controlled Heating, Ventilation & A/C of my office answering a phone call from my sibling Doug made me start to stress sweat. Thankfully, everyone was fine. Doug lives not too far from my mom while I live nearly a thousand miles away. The nature of his call was to address the heating and cooling situation at mom’s. Mom is still in the little home that she moved to after my sibling and I went off to university. It’s a very small, 2 living room with central air conditioning. But the Heating, Ventilation & A/C device is well over 30 years old. I had tried before to get her to let me update the residential Heating, Ventilation & A/C to no avail. Mom is unusual like that when it comes to us helping her out. So Doug was telling me that she thought the heat pump had finally died but mom wasn’t doing anything to fix it. That meant a trip to see mom and get this thing done. There was no way my mom was going through the whole Summer without air conditioning. I called the local Heating, Ventilation & A/C business and booked an appointment for a Sunday. I showed up on a Monday and Doug and I decided to go together to talk with the Heating, Ventilation & A/C professionals. Looks like my mom will be getting a ductless multi split system as the air duct in her home is not wonderful either. But ductless heat pumps are awesome and she’ll have quality air conditioning.
