Celebrating a promotion has to be one of the best feelings especially when it was something you had been working towards.
I had finally gotten a major promotion at work and I was going to celebrate it by getting myself new heating equipment to help with indoor comfort.
The one I had was older than everything I owned in that house. After weighing the pros and cons of different HVACs I had settled for a dual fuel system. The home services company had given me various guidelines on how to choose a system that was best suited for me. The heating dealer also sent a heating technician to my house so that they could give me a price estimate. The hybrid system was a combination of a furnace and an electric heat pump. These two consequently would require annual maintenance, so a furnace/heater tune-up and a heat pump service were inevitable. I also wanted to have my old dial regulator replaced with a digital thermostat. The one thing that was not entirely new was a furnace filter replacement since I was already doing it with my current HVAC. The heating contractor was scheduled to install my new system in a week. In the meantime, I was going to visit my sister and spoil my nephews with gifts. For me, family are the best people to celebrate a new milestone. My sister was so excited for me when I told her the good news. And while I was at it, maybe I could have a nice conversation with her very interesting next-door neighbour. Life was finally looking up for me and life could only get better from here.
