Payment of Others' Bills in Exchange for Bearing Debt

Question
My son wants to buy me a carpet through the bank, and his monthly salary will be deducted for it. In return, I will pay his electricity bills. Is this permissible according to Islamic law?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: There does not appear to be any legal violation in this transaction, and God knows best.
