I am a new homeowner and I have no idea what I am doing. I ask my mom for a lot of advice and she gives it to me often, even when I do not ask for it. She has been a huge help in helping me with knowing how to run a house and budgeting and all of those fun things. She also mentioned the HVAC system. She told me that it is quite important to take care of the system. I was unsure about what she meant though. She told me that I needed to change the air filter in it every month. I didn’t think something like that would be that hard. One day I went to go change the air filter. I was given new air filters by the HVAC technician when he first installed the HVAC system. I took one of them with me when I went to the system. I tried to figure out how to get it open. Needless to say, I had no idea what I was actually doing. I really just do not think I knew what to do at all. I did not ask my mom because if I was going to learn how to do this I wanted all of the good information. I called a local HVAC business near to me to have them teach me how to do this. They tried to explain to me over the phone but instead I made an appointment to have them come show me. It was really helpful and the HVAC technician did not mind at all. I feel that I learned a lot from him too.
