It took myself and others 20 years although I finally did it.
I’m a homeowner.
Being a bachelor and a social worker sort of worked against myself and others as far as being able to afford a home. So I lived in apartments with marginal quality heating and air for 2 decades. That’s just too long to live with subpar residential Heating & A/C while building easily zero equity. But that’s how it went. I’m sure that had I married or gone into the private sector, I’d have been a homeowner long ago. Nonetheless, I’m so ecstatic to entirely own my house. It’s needed quite a bit of work for myself and others to entirely be able to liver there comfortably. I bought it at the end of Wintertide and found out instantly that the Heating & A/C unit had to be substituted much sooner than I had hoped. But I had other things to deal with on the priority list. So that summer time was a sizzling one until I bought a small window air conditioner and put it in my home office. That helped take the load off the Heating & A/C unit while I was working on the rest of the house. That fall, I finally was ready to finish off the renovations with the addition of a ductless multi split heating and cooling system. Basically, there are 3 ductless heat pumps inside my small 2 home office home. The air duct turned out to also be junk so I went with ductless heat pumps to stay on budget. Not only was it a less lavish option, the ductless heat pumps are more efficient and entirely powerful.
