Friend always one-ups me; repair versus upgrade
I really enjoy my friends and family a great deal. I don’t think that I could ever live in a distant location where I could not see them on a regular basis. My loved ones make my life worth living. I absolutely can’t stand the thought of losing a single one of them. However, I will say that one of my best friends can be a bit frustrating. She’s a good human but she also has an overly competitive streak that can make our interactions tense. She is a classic example of what you would call a one upper. No matter what is going on in your life, you’d better believe that something more amazing has happened to her. If it hasn’t spontaneously occurred she will make it take place. This is exactly what happened recently with my central heating, cooling, and air quality control system. For several years I had been saving up a rainy day fund for my central air conditioning unit and forced air furnace. I knew that it was only a matter of time before my air handling devices required professional attend. Sure enough, as my energy bills began to climb and my indoor air quality began to suffer I decided I should call the local heating and cooling repair shop for help. I invested a great deal of money in a full HVAC repair and diagnostics appointment and felt confident in my decision. That is… Until I talked to my friend. She promptly told me that she had arranged a professional HVAC overhaul and replaced every piece of her indoor air temperature control plan. Now, all I ever hear about is her amazing Energy Efficiency and increased air temperature management. Maybe I could let this one go…
