My husband & I were excited to find a home in our price range with updated features like a smart control unit, smart lighting, & radiant radiant floors.
The previous owner worked for a tech contractor & the person had all of the features installed at the same time. The smart control equipment controls the radiant radiant floors, the AC, & even the dehumidifier. The people I was with and I have a separate control box for the smart lighting. It’s an harshly sophisticated system, which makes it legitimately expensive to fix. My husband & I did not realize that the repairs would be so expensive when the people I was with and I bought the house. We’ve had to maintenance other Heating, Ventilation & A/C systems in the past, but a few weeks ago the people I was with and I had to spend my money a maintenance person to work on the radiant heated flooring. When the contractor provided us the maintenance estimate, my husband nearly fainted. The guy wanted $1500 to repair the radiant heated flooring issue. My husband thought it was excessive, so he dismissed the contractor & called around for a few additional estimates. Each new person provided us roughly the same amount. The people I was with and I knew at that point that the people I was with and I were going to have to spend my money the huge fee to repair the heating issue. I had to take a loan from my 401K to spend my money for the gas furnace repairs. The people I was with and I thought it was fate to find a home with these lighting & Heating, Ventilation & A/C smart features in our price range; Unfortunately, the people I was with and I might not legitimately be able to afford to live here. If the people I was with and I have to spend a luck on repairs all of the time, the people I was with and I will have to move.
