For the past several years my family has been complaining that I won’t meet them in exotic locations for any of their planned family getaways.
I keep telling them that I’m not interested in going to some fancy resort and eating with them for two weeks straight.
However, they can’t seem to get it through their head that I have better things to spend my money on. Honestly, I have been working extremely hard to save money for one particular project – overhauling my heating, cooling, and air quality control system. I’ve been wanting to upgrade my heating and cooling devices for as long as I can remember. I have never been very happy with the old oil furnace in my basement or the rickety air conditioner that is supposed to keep me comfortable all winter. However, I didn’t want to replace the heating and cooling system with the cheapest new equipment possible. Instead, I really wanted to save up my money for premium indoor air temperature control devices. Namely, I have my sights set on radiant heated floors for this winter. I have always had a traditional forced air furnace and I can’t say that I love that heating method. It creates a lot of uneven hot and cold patches, temperature fluctuations, and chilly drafts. Radiant heated floors, on the other hand, provide clean, even temperature control that you can accurately manage in each room of the house. The costs of installing radiant heated floors are a little high. However, with the Energy savings and reduced need for heating, cooling, and air quality control repair services, the investment pays off over time. My radiant heated floors are going to keep me comfortable all winter – I don’t need to go to Mexico with the fam.
