True enough.
HVAC is just one of those things that new homeowners fear. Even a small repair can snowball into having to replace thousands of dollars of equipment. It sucks...
I am a perfect example. I have a nearly 30 year old system in my house that is wicked inefficient and there are almost no parts left on the market for it. If something as simple as a motor or valve goes bad, there is a very good chance I am going to have to replace the whole damn thing. That gets expensive. FAST.

Apparently, they just killed the 15k for new home buyers.

But if you are a first time home buyer you already get a $7500 interest free loan for 15 years.

or I just didn't read it well enough, I saw
"Working to accommodate the new, lower overall limit of the bill, negotiators effectively wiped out a Senate-passed provision for a new $15,000 tax credit to defray the cost of buying a home" and stopped reading haha.
