Having an elderly friend or family member come to live with you can be a blessing. Oftentimes grandparents step in to watch children and help around the house in various ways. You get the benefit of spending more time with your friend or family member, and you don’t have to worry about how they are managing on their own. This can be a rich and rewarding experience for everyone involved.
Of course, you have to move them in first! It’s not as simple as setting up the guest bedroom. You want to make sure that your home is safe and comfortable for your senior relative, and it can be tough to know where to start.
PECO Heating and Cooling is a family-owned and operated business that knows about keeping relatives comfortable! We take it upon ourselves to make sure that your home is ready for an elderly occupant. First, consider your HVAC system. While extremely hot days can be miserable for many, they can be downright dangerous for older folks who can suffer ill effects. It’s important to have a fully operational air conditioning unit for warm summer days. We can inspect your unit, perform any necessary maintenance and repairs, or even install a new unit. You’ll enjoy the refreshing cool air as well!
Other Things To Consider
Just as hot days should be considered, so should cold ones. As we grow older, many people become less and less able to handle cold weather, which can increase joint and bone pain. We can make sure your furnace or heating unit is fully functioning so you’ll be ready for those cold winter nights.
Having a properly working HVAC system is crucial to keeping your home within a range of comfortable temperatures. There are other considerations to think about as well, such as what bathroom will be used or how many stairs need to be navigated. Fortunately, PECO can help with many home repair and maintenance tasks around the house as well, such as fixing drywall and painting.
If you have an elderly relative coming to live with you, PECO can help! Our experienced team will make sure that your home is safe and comfortable for the whole family.
