Growing up as a die-hard nerd, I never expected to be a mom to athletic kids.
My daughters are active in just about every sport; sometimes the seasons overlap, which is exhausting to me, and I’m not even the one playing! Between practices, games, travel tournaments, and fundraising events, my kids work hard for the sports they love.
But last week, my ten-year-old came home from softball practice with a sweaty face and a uniform covered in orange dust. “We practiced sliding today. Everything hurts.” She slumped onto the carpet under an air conditioning vent in the living room, and said something that I’ll probably never forget: “Without air conditioning, I don’t know if I could play sports.” This is why I commit to having the HVAC system serviced at least once every quarter, since my daughters almost always come home and lay under a vent. If our cooling system were ever to go kaput, I’d worry about them; they spend a lot of time in the heat and humidity, and they deserve an HVAC system that can keep up with their active lifestyle. Plus, reaching out to my local HVAC service with such frequency has been a great way to learn new information about my heating and cooling system. They give me tips on how to use my equipment effectively and efficiently, and the technician always helps me try to save on my energy costs. Most importantly, the HVAC equipment is always ready to accommodate the sweaty faces that come home after practice or a game, whether it’s just my family or the entire team. Luckily, we haven’t had any major problems with our heating and cooling system, but regular visits from an HVAC technician help keep my active household cool and dry!
