Some people might call me naive.
Some might say ignorant.
Some might say gullible. I prefer “excited.” But the outcome is the same – I jump the gun and spend a lot of money unnecessarily. Every spring I feel like I fall for the same expensive joke. For the past 55 years or so I have had the same unfettered enthusiasm every spring when we get a few breaths of warm air. After a long, difficult winter there will inevitably be a day or two when the outdoor air temperature becomes unseasonably warm. Out of nowhere, the outdoor climate will take a turn for the better. This fresh, warm air that comes blowing through the region and immediately makes me think that a balmy spring is on its way. Finally, our cold days are over! That’s right about when I power down the forced air furnace and call my heating, cooling, and ventilation technician for a professional heating, cooling, and ventilation inspection on the retiring furnace. While he’s out, I have him check the large central air conditioning unit, too. It makes sense; I’m trying to be proactive for the impending air temperature change, but there’s a problem. Inevitably I wind up immensely letdown within a week when we return to the cold and bitter characteristics of winter. Meanwhile, I have to go back to using my forced air furnace… which means the professional service job is a moot point. Subsequently, I wind up calling the HVAC technician back out to my property to re-do the whole inspection. I’ll wise up one of these days.
