Last week, I had the option to wake up my kid early from her afternoon care because the HVAC component broke down.
And apparently, it will take about a week before the afternoon care has the HVAC up as well as running again.
The afternoon care is located inside a house that was transformed into an afternoon care as well as it’s operated by a nice lady I met through someone from my church. Though it was not good timing, I will do whatever I can to make sure that my kid is taken care of, despite the fact that I must disclose that the afternoon care closing caused an inconvenience for me. Thankfully, I have a task where I can work from home, but that’s not the same for numerous of the other parents who send their kids to afternoon care. And you must admit, a week is a long time for an afternoon car to be closed because of lack of air conditioning. I would think as a business, the owner would want to get the issue fixed sooner than later. But in the afternoon care’s defense, the owner might not have the money to maintain a broken HVAC unit. The cost to replace an HVAC component is between $5,000 as well as $12,000 depending on the size of the system. And all of that money isn’t straight-forward to come up with for small business owners. For the afternoon care owner, the options are limited, and she can choose to take out a personal loan, choose to finance or take out a house equity loan to cover the costs of the HVAC unit, however whatever she chooses, I also hope that it doesn’t cause too much financial strain. The nice news is, the modern HVAC component should last between 10 to 15 years before it needs to be replaced.
