You never actually know what you had until it’s gone, am I right? I suppose that this is an aged cliche…
But it holds true as you come to acquire life experiences and several regrets throughout your adulthood.
For example, when you lose a romantic partner or friend and suddenly cannot stop thinking of all of the small things that they did for you. Or, if you move out of a particular region of the country and find yourself dreaming of the weather conditions that you left behind. Recently, I came to the realization that I never appreciated our boiler appliance the way that I should have. When we moved into this dwelling I was surprised to see the aged boiler system in the basement. There were radiators located throughout the entire dwelling which offered continual heat to every room. I never thought much of the aged heating appliance, except when I adjusted the temperature control units and happily felt the indoor air temperature rising. I was cheerful that I could easily depend on our indoor air handling appliances but I did not actually understand how the boiler system worked… And then… I made the move to get a traditional forced air furnace! Since I already had HVAC ducts in the dwelling for our central air conditioner appliance I decided I might as well connect a central heating appliance to them. I honestly didn’t realize the forced air furnace would create a ton of extra noise and airborne contamination that I was not used to. Since I had the up-to-date forced air furnace installed by a professional heating and cooling specialist, our dwelling has not been the same. It’s extremely loud and dirty all the time. I cannot rest at night over the sound of the heating appliance cranking in the basement. And I am ready to go back to our aged boiler appliance as soon as I can get a Heating & A/C worker on the premises.
