Mike and my sister had a plan about how they wanted to become homeowners.
They live in the same city, and are both single.
So, they could work together on this plan without needing to consult with lots of people. Mike and my sister both work good jobs, but the prices of houses have increased so much. So, the best thing for them to do was pull their resources together. They would buy one house, then save up and get another later on. They planned to live together in the first house, then part ways once they got the next one. I live abroad, however I would have loved to be part of this team effort. They called with good news when their offer on the first house went through. Now, it was time to start a few renovations which included sorting out the heating and cooling. The house came with an aging heating and AC unit, so they planned to install a new one. The only issue was they didn’t agree on the best heating and AC unt to install in their new home. I am a HVAC technician, so they knew I would give them the best advice. I informed Mike and my sister that the best was a geothermal heat pump, but those aren’t cheap. So, the next option is to go for a standard AC for the mild summers, and a gas furnace for the brutal winters. They’re yet to make up their mind, but I know they will soon because winter isn’t too far away and they need to get started.
