I don’t know, maybe it’s just me.
But there always seems to be some obstacle to otherwise straight forward solutions when it comes to my life.
I see it all the time inside the commercial HVAC of the office. So many of my colleagues and superiors make things just so much more complicated than they need to be. But that’s sort of how we tend to operate as a species maybe. Still, I will put together a solution to a problem only to see some last minute detail sort of derail the plan. And here’s where it gets tricky. For me, I just roll with those sort of things and adapt. Getting mad or resistant to a change in plans only slows down or further complicates a solution. This was certainly the case when it came to replacing the HVAC equipment in our home. When we bought the place, it came with HVAC equipment that was about ten years old. The HVAC professionals checked it out for us and said that it was in good shape. The seller also had all the HVAC maintenance records showing just how well the HVAC unit had been taken care of. So we went with it knowing that we’d have to replace the residential HVAC at some point. Well that point came early this Spring. And like many plans, it came with some surprises. When the HVAC contractor came out to do the initial inspection, he found that the ductwork was no longer suitable. That changed everything. We just weren’t prepared financially or otherwise to replace the ductwork. Thankfully, we had a ductless multi spilt system as an option. And we took it. I have to say that I might even prefer this residential HVAC method. It paid for us to roll with it once again.
