Too often, the biggest scenarios are felled by the tiniest detail.
Of course, we’ve seen this over and over again throughout history.
So when I hear not to sweat the small stuff, I sort of wonder a bit. I mean, I get the gist of that saying but I also like to pay attention to details. That goes double for my work inside the commercial HVAC of the office and for my home. I might be a little more sensitive when it comes to taking care of my home than most people. I grew up in a series of foster homes and often did without essentials like residential HVAC. Thankfully, I got myself to college and I got myself an education. This allowed me to go out and make my own life. I’m awfully grateful for the people who helped me along the way and I do my best to pay it forward as often as I can. But I also make sure that I’m paying attention to the good fortune right in front of me. We have a home that my wife and I are very pleased with. It’s got a wonderful central air conditioning system along with all the HVAC technology that makes life just that much easier. We take a personal interest in making sure that our home is well cared for and organized. One of the things that I’m very on top of is the HVAC equipment. The HVAC professionals take care of all the seasonal maintenance. They come out during the fall to do the heating maintenance and then return in the spring for the air conditioning tune up. However, just changing the air filter isn’t a very important detail for every homeowner. But without unrestricted airflow, the HVAC equipment has to work harder unnecessarily.
