My previous next door neighbor was a hobby beekeeper. He learned the trade from his family members who operated a honey farm in an adjacent county for a number of years before selling the business to a larger corporation. They kept up the trade but simply did it for fun in their own free time. It’s nice knowing that there […]
This year has been so cold I didn’t need a/c until early June
It wasn’t fun having to travel every week over the past six months because of work commitments. I thought that I would love the opportunity to travel for work when I was a broke college student, but now I wonder what I was wishing for and why I didn’t have more foresight. Even though the pandemic has improved, it’s still […]
The filter in my air purifier was so old it barely worked
I had to put a lot of expenses on the back burner recently while my wife has recovered from her kidney surgery. We’ve had to pay for medical supplies on top of insurance co-pays from her time in the hospital and at various doctors offices to see numerous specialists the whole time. This was a huge financial burden on both […]
House feels cleaner than ever after ductwork cleaning
The last couple of years have been an effort in so many new ways. The pandemic really forced me family to find a new way of going about life. Neither my husband nor I were inside the zone controlled HVAC of our respective offices for over a year. That meant trying to work from our own air conditioning while the […]
HVAC professionals make replacing the HVAC unit so easy
The HVAC contractor was able to show me different models and all the new HVAC technology that was all the rage. When the HVAC technician informed us that our HVAC equipment was about at the end of the line, my mind went straight to costs. That’s sort of an unfortunate default reaction for me. I’m just always considering the costs […]
Sunroom so much more comfortable with ductless heat pump
I wasn’t really so sure about adding a sunroom to our home. We had moved to the south to get out of the winter weather. That was a wonderful thing and we were both so thankful for that. Yet, trading the gas furnace for the heat pump came with a bit of a tradeoff. Of course, I would trade that […]
Don’t mind working out in perfect heating and cooling comfort
When my wife brought up the idea of dumping the gym membership, I was secretly thrilled. It was a few months into the start of the pandemic and we hadn’t even been back inside the zone controlled HVAC of the office much less the gym. I think that both of us were hopeful that Covid would get knocked down once […]
Thankful for humidity balance from heat pump
I deal with summer because that’s what it takes to be able to live in this area. I love it here and for 8 months of the year, the weather is just about perfection. It’s amazing really. But the four months of summer comes with high heat and big time humidity. It also comes with a whole lot of air […]
I still can’t believe that I won the grand prize
Last year, when the weather was heating up at the beginning of the summer, our local radio station hosted a contest. The sponsor was their main advertising partner, a large HVAC corporation based here in our city. The HVAC corporation was giving away a brand new, state of the art, high efficiency heating and cooling system as their main prize. […]
They are going to clean the ductwork in our office next week
Next week, they are going to be cleaning the ductwork in our office for probably the first time ever. I have worked in this particular building for about 7 years now, and I can’t even tell you the last time that I have seen an HVAC company come in here to do anything. However, earlier this week, the building manager […]
