Celebrating a promotion has to be one of the best feelings especially when it was something you had been absolutely working towards! I had finally gotten a major promotion at work and I was going to celebrate it by getting myself a new heating device to help with indoor comfort, and the one I had was older than everything I owned in that house. After weighing the pros as well as cons of different heating and air conditionings I had settled for a dual fuel system. The house services contractor had given me various directions on how to choose a system that was best suited for me. The heating contractor also sent a heating serviceman to our home so that they could give me a price estimate. The hybrid system was a combination of a gas furnace and an electric heat pump. These 2 consequently would require annual maintenance, so a gas furnace/heater tune-up and a heat pump service were inevitable. I also wanted to have our old dial regulator replaced with a digital control unit. The one thing that was not absolutely new was a gas furnace filter replacement since I was already doing it with our new heating as well as air conditioning. The heating corporation was busy installing our new system in a week. In the meantime, I was going to visit our brother and spoil our nephews with gifts. For me, family are the best people to celebrate a new milestone! My brother was so excited for me when I told him the good news. While I was at it, maybe I could have a nice conversation with his truly interesting next-door neighbour, but life was finally looking up for myself and others and life could only get better from here.
