Dad had been to many countries as he worked as a marine. He is now a veteran and enjoying his retirement. He would be gone for weeks or months, but it was all for a good cause. Dad has always been my hero. Now that I was working, it was time for him to enjoy retirement with his wife. When I visited him last month, I could hear the rattling of his furnace from the driveway. Though it still worked, it was not as efficient, and the fireplace was always on to boot up the heat within his house. The scene made me quite sad, and I promised to replace the unit before winter began in a few weeks. I collaborated with the HVAC technicians from the local HVAC company, who knew more about heating than me. After running an HVAC maintenance, they established that the HVAC equipment was also quite old, besides the dirty furnace filters and the blowers. The HVAC repairman and his team ordered a new HVAC system from the local supplier. It was a heat pump. At least now, they would not need to use another system during summer because the unit also has an integrated air conditioning system. The installation took a few hours, and when turned on, it provided quality heating to my parents. Dad was moved to tears by my gesture to offer help with indoor comfort I had facilitated. The professionals advised when to schedule the heat pump service and the frequency of furnace/heater repairs. I felt a sense of pride for wanting to see my parents comfortable and enjoying the fruits of their labor.
