Too often, I just don’t pay enough attention to what’s in the mail! For a single, it’s usually not nice news.
Mostly, it’s bills or unsolicited mail from entities that I don’t know.
But last Spring, I instituted a new beach house rule that tangentially related to the mail. I love our beach house and care about spending time inside the central a/c with our family. It’s a nice beach house and both of us do a fairly sufficient task of keeping it picked up, well organized and clean. That is except for a single exception. The kitchen table sort of turned into this location to dump stuff. Book bags, junk mail and all kinds of other stuff just collected on our kitchen table. I even found a pair of cleats there a single afternoon. That’s when I had enough and declared that section was to be kept clear and clean, well, that meant that I had to do a better task of collecting and dumping the junk mail. So that’s how I came across the coupon from our HVAC business. They were offering half off of ductwork cleaning. I knew that we’d never had the ductwork cleaning done in almost more than 2 decades of living here. So I called the HVAC professionals and they sent out a crew to do the ductwork cleaning. That part was awesome and improved our air quality. But they followed up with the ductwork resealing and wow, what a difference that made in the residential HVAC efficiency. Every one of us saved love another 15 percent on a/c savings last Summer because of the ductwork resealing.
