I was excited when I found out my friend was getting underfloor heating installed in one room of her house. My great grandfather used to have underfloor heating. I just loved visiting him as a kid. I will forever attribute underfloor heating to warmth, comfort, and family. Then my friend finished getting the underfloor heating installed and I begged to […]
I look cold but I am not
You win some and you lose some. I have a peripheral nerve condition that makes me look like I am cold all of the time. As a result, I almost constantly have goosebumps on my arms. People are always offering me sweatshirts, blankets, and other covers to warm me up. I politely decline. If I have to then I explain […]
Raccoons in ductwork are scary
I woke up at night and heard a scratching sound under my house. For a second I thought it was some kind of evil otherworldly being that was coming to reap my soul. I lay in bed terrified for a minute or two. But then my thinking brain woke up a little more and I recognized the sound as coming […]
My sister vomited down the ductwork and didn’t tell me
I was very embarrassed that my heating system started smelling really bad when my sister was visiting. My whole house smelled terrible because of it. I replaced the air filter with a strong air filter. I also added a charcoal air filter in front of it. Still my HVAC system smelled terrible every time my heater turned on. I knew […]
I bought a new air conditioner for my sister
I bought a new air conditioner for my sister. I love my sister so much, but she doesn’t really do well for herself. She is a very caring person, and she takes care of others the best that she can. She just doesn’t do much for herself, and I think that is a good thing in many ways, but it […]
My best friend bought me the cutest little heater ever
My best friend bought me the cutest little heater ever. I told my best friend that I really wanted a portable little heater that I could take around with me everywhere. I was honestly just being funny. I didn’t think that she would take me seriously, but she did. I think she may have realized that I was just joking, […]
I cleaned my air filters, and I am really proud of myself
I cleaned my air filters, and I am really proud of myself. I don’t even want to think about how long it had been since I cleaned the air filters in my air conditioning unit. It is quite a large unit, and it actually has two different filters that I should clean on a regular basis. Well, I obviously haven’t […]
My new favorite air conditioner is on sale
My new favorite air conditioner is on sale. I absolutely love my new air conditioner that I got about three weeks ago. Of course three weeks after I got the air conditioner, they went on sale. I should have waited three weeks, but there was honestly no way for me to know that the air conditioner would be on sale […]
Roughing it through temperature extremes
To this day I am not sure what happened, but when I was 10 year old I got pulled out of school, and my family moved out into the woods. We had been a modest middle class family in the suburbs, not rich by any means, but I never missed any meals. Next thing I know we crammed as much […]
I am an HVAC tech for one of the major theme parks
The major theme parks, like Disney and Universal, are basically just self contained cities. They employ tens of thousands of people, and consume more utilities than an entire nation! Food, water, medical services, every type of specialist you can imagine, and that is just for the nuts and bolts of operations. There are also the performers, the animals, the special […]
