Being a homeowner feels different.
All my life I’ve lived in apartments.
I never wanted to be away from the city. But, after my daughter was born, I knew she would need a different neighborhood. Living in an apartment meant we’d have to go to the park if she was to play outside. But, if I found a bungalow with a back yard, she would play outside whenever she wanted to. It took some time but I finally came across the best house for the two of us. It was in a lovely area and close to some amazing school districts. Moving wasn’t that hard since my brothers stepped in to help sort things out for me. They were the best uncles my daughter could ever ask for. It was summer when we finally settled and I was happy the house came with an excellent AC system. The fact that the seller did an upgrade for the air conditioning was one of the reasons I settled for this bungalow. That and the lovely backyard where my daughter would have a time of her life. Months passed and it was the end of fall. I found myself wondering if I should cover my AC unit to prevent snow from getting in. I chose to ask the HVAC professional who came to service the gas furnace one afternoon. He explained that it was okay to cover the AC unit in winter to prevent debris and other junk from getting in. but, it was nearly impossible to prevent moisture from getting inside the unit. Luckily, it was built to withstand such an issue.
