Hey, I’m all for saving money and doing stuff on one’s own around the house.
And there are plenty of people out there that are far handier around the house than I am.
That’s a pretty easy guess since my handyman expertise is notably limited. Even with my noted limitations as far as household projects, I still do the stuff I can to save a buck. Like, I get out of the air conditioning each week to take care of my own lawn. Paying to have me lawn maintained seems a bit much. And I’m good at organizing and cleaning the house. But when it comes to real household issues, I know my limits. When the air conditioning wasn’t working right, I didn’t hesitate even a minute to call the HVAC company. Coming home from work, I wasn’t met with that wall of HVAC cooling as I came through the door. Yet, the HVAC equipment was running. I put my hand up to one of the HVAC air vents and sure enough, there was no HVAC cooling but just warm air. That was not so good. Since the HVAC equipment was running as though it was working fine, I was puzzled. But I knew better than to try and figure out that puzzle. After I confirmed that it was just warm air coming from the HVAC vent, I immediately picked up the phone to call the HVAC company to send out an HVAC technician. These people are the HVAC professionals and they are the only ones who should ever be working on the HVAC equipment.
