Changing the oil in the car was just as pressing as having an air conditioning tune up in the Spring.
My dad was the type who always believed in paying for quality things and then taking care of them. He was right, and I try to live by the same standard, as I grew up in a pretty normal house. My pal and I had central air conditioning and I had my own room, but dad and mom were not frivolous with their money. If my pal and I walked inside the commercial HVAC of a diner, it was to sit down and cherish a nice meal. Just going out to eat was a large deal and a treat for us, as my parents would much rather spend money on groceries than waste it on junk food or fast food diners. Dad was also on top of taking care of the unit that worked on him, and he was always quick to do his own oil changes on the cars. He was also all over taking care of HVAC equipment, and my dad was absolutely nice at toiling on just about anything that was mechanical in nature. But he knew enough to stay away from the heating and cooling equipment. The only people he allowed to touch the HVAC unit were certified HVAC professionals. My dad believed in HVAC service as much as he believed in car service. Changing the oil in the car was just as pressing as having an air conditioning tune up in the Spring. I too find that HVAC service is simply essential, and I am going on 13 years without a single blip when it comes to heating and cooling comfort in my home. That has everything to do with never missing a seasonal HVAC service appointment. In fact, now that we are well into June, I shall be calling the HVAC company to have them come out and do the air conditioning tune up real soon.
