New homeowners need a school where they can learn about all the responsibilities that come with a house.
If you just moved from a rental apartment or from your parent home, get ready.
There is so much that comes with owning a house that you are in charge of. For instance, I never knew about mowing grass and clipping the hedges. Previously, I’d lived in an apartment in the city. So, when I bought a house in a HOA zone, I was so shocked at the list of requirements. They even specified how high the hedge should be and the flowers and plants to have in my yard. Another matter I faced was the number of professionals I needed to hire to keep my home running efficiently. I could no longer call the building manager if my AC wasn’t working. If the AC failed in my home, I was in charge of hiring an HVAC expert for repair. During my first summer living in the house, that’s exactly what I had to do. I’d woken up one morning covered in sweat and noted the AC had failed. I went online to find the right HVAC company in the area to hire for AC repair. I found a local HVAC company with excellent reviews that sent an HVAC expert to my home. The lady was so wonderful, and she understood the plight of new homeowners. She told me to make sure I never missed any heating and cooling maintenance. That way, I’d not face such issues during summer or winter. I had to go online to learn more about heating and cooling maintenance so I’d be right on top of things in future.
